Gu Fan had only just arrived in the city and was not yet familiar with his surroundings. Xue Wang and his group were not in a rush to set off but rather planned to settle in steadily and properly calculate the journey ahead.
Although Gu Fan had suggested helping to devise a reasonable itinerary, Xue Wang and Lord Xiong had refused him. It seemed they did not wish Gu Fan to know the destination so soon.
Mo Yun had also noticed Gu Fan's cautious thoughts, secretly thinking the lad was too hasty.
But who could understand Gu Fan's anxiety? Now that Xue Wang did not trust him, Gu Fan had to find a way to make a swift escape; otherwise, every additional day spent there brought a risk to his life.
However, Gu Fan could not just walk away. If he could not ascertain Lord Xiong's identity, he at least needed to know the other party's destination and understand the whole situation—how else would he confront them in the future?
