"I didn't expect it to be so complicated," Yi Chen nodded.
The two then walked hand in hand in silence on the official road to Yun Shan County, each seemingly lost in their own thoughts, and didn't speak along the way.
They crossed through the bushes on both sides of the road, over the wildflowers by the roadside, and entered the city gates of Yun Shan County. The setting sun stretched their shadows long, and their pace became slower and slower.
However, even the slowest pace eventually comes to an end. By the time Ming Yue climbed up into the sky, they had already entered Ming Yue's residence.
"Daoist, before you leave, is there anything you would like to say to me?" Shui Lingyue suddenly spoke.
"Uh, Ling Yue, are there any big-mouth bass in Water Nymph Lake? I'm thinking of casting a few lines."
The air froze for two and a half seconds.
Shui Lingyue spoke again, her face expressionless this time.
"Maybe."
