Zhao Huai quickly returned to Jinzhou City with the two women in tow.
Qiu Yueqing walked behind gracefully and elegantly, well-behaved since scolded by Zhao Huai.
Once in the city, she couldn’t help but look around.
Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked at the bustling market streets, with the aroma of green onion pancakes and roasted chicken floating in the air, and the vendors hawking their wares from time to time.
This was a completely different world compared to the ethereal atmosphere of the Spiritual Mountains.
Since joining the Exquisite Palace, Qiu Yueqing had spent most of her time cultivating or slaying demons and exorcising devils, and had rarely seen the streets, alleys, and green slatestone paths of the human world.
Occasionally, an elderly man with a smoking pipe would walk out of a courtyard and look at Zhao Huai and his companions with a curious expression on their faces.
Yin Nanyu, however, maintained her cold demeanor. Her forehead was still wrapped in a turban, and her silver hair occasionally peeked out, attracting attention. She pulled her tattered robe to cover the raven pattern below her collarbone, not wanting to reveal her identity.
Their clothes hadn’t been changed since being pursued, making it easy for them to be exposed.
She had been here before, and it seemed that there was a Raven Sub-Bureau in the state.
If she could contact the local sect members, it would be much more convenient to carry out her plans.
Now that the Raven Sect was hiding from the Imperial Court of Xia Country, they wouldn’t dare to show their faces without her orders.
Zhao Huai, followed by the two women, inevitably attracted the gossip of the neighbors as they walked on the streets. “Boss Zhao went out for a few days and brought back another concubine?”
“My goodness, what a healthy body he has!” “Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to handle it if it were me!”
Zhao Huai ignored these gossips naturally.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Huai suddenly realized his mistake and said, somewhat embarrassed, “Look at my memory! I’ll go out. Call me when you’re done changing.”
The sound of the door closing echoed.
Yin Nanyu stared at the clothes in her hand and fell into a trance.
Thinking back, it seemed unreal that she had been pursued all the way from the capital city to Jinzhou and met the Crown Prince of Yan Country. When the high-ranking members of the Raven Sect exploded their Qi Seas, only she managed to escape.
Now, where should the future of the Raven Sect start?
She initially thought that she could grow the Raven Sect after Yu Daocheng’s death and take advantage of the chaos, but who would have thought that the “White-clothed Ghost Face” would appear and completely disrupt her plans.
Later, she got targeted by the Imperial Court of Xia Country and ended up with all the blame on her shoulders.
The purge in the capital had severely wounded the elite forces of the Raven Sect.
While the lower-ranking members were unaffected, the core forces were significantly weakened.
Fortunately, she escaped.
Nothing was more worth celebrating than escaping death.
At the thought of this, she felt thankful to the pig demon.
If it weren’t for him, she might have committed suicide.
She could vaguely recall the fragmented memories of being carried on a man’s shoulder.
The pig demon was likely a human being.
She had a feeling that it was Zhao Huai.
To repay his kindness, she wouldn’t let him down. She would definitely make him one of her own.
Slowly, Yin Nanyu removed her clothes, revealing her fair body that still bore the scars from her battle with the gatekeeper of the Limitless Immortal Sect..
