After communicating with Sun Siwen and encouraging him to be bold, Lu Yuan returned to his mansion.
Now, with the arrival of the imperial army, especially the two Inborn Grandmasters, the assassination threat from the Poison Sect's Holy Maiden that had been looming over him was finally less worrying.
With two Inborn Grandmasters in the united army of Zhou and Miao, and two more on the imperial side, the chances of unconventional assassinations would be greatly reduced, as the four Grandmasters would be balancing and restraining each other.
Lu Yuan finally didn't have to stay cooped up in the barracks every day, living like a tortured monk.
Tired from half a month of continuous travel, he instructed the maids to prepare a bath for him when he returned home, and then he curled up in his blankets and had a good sleep.
On the morning of the next day, following his usual routine, Lu Yuan got up punctually, freshened up a bit, and practiced his palm skill.
