'Wait and see?' Miao Yi was a little dejected as he knew that there was no way he could defy the higher-ups' commands. After making his way to the courtyard, he immediately wrote Traversing Water Palace a letter stating that he had successfully completed his mission. Once again, he requested that they allow him to return.

Once he released the spirit eagle, he made his way to the courtyard's exit; but just as he was about to step outside the door, he stopped and pulled his foot back. Where was he supposed to go now?! There was a chance that a killer was out there just waiting to take his life!

Initially, he thought that the people in-charge here would let him walk away after he had completed the mission. That way, he wouldn't have to ask Traversing Water Palace to take him back; he could just return immediately. However, now the other party was saying that the mission was still not over. As a result, there was no way he could just pack up and leave. Not without first getting Traversing Water Palace's approval. Thus, he needed to find a place to stay and wait for their response.

'Should I go to Tempest Tavern?' Miao Yi was clenching his teeth in frustration just thinking about it.
