"I only did what I could. There's no need to thank me."
Chi Xiu said with a smile.
"You're such a good person, a truly, truly kind-hearted person!"
Bai Chenxiang said emotionally.
"Hey, don't hand me a good-person card so quickly. You can say I'm a great philanthropist, but don't call me a great good person. I'm a little sensitive about that term, especially when it comes from a girl."
"Huh?"
Bai Chenxiang slowly let go, looking rather confused.
Chi Xiu turned to look at her and flicked the braid on her head. "Just kidding. I'm leaving for a while. If a girl named Zhu Zhuqing comes looking for me, tell her I'll be right back."
"Where are you going?"
Bai Chenxiang asked instinctively. Only after asking did she realize she should not interfere in Chi Xiu's affairs, so she hurriedly changed her words. "Then go ahead!"
Chi Xiu had originally wanted to explain it to her, but seeing how quickly she changed her tune, he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
"Alright, I'm off."
He turned around, and after taking just a few steps, his body was engulfed by surging silver radiance.
Chi Xiu appeared at the foot of a mountain.
He turned and glanced to the side. There was a carriage bearing the emblem of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Just as Chi Xiu had guessed, it was the same carriage he and Zhu Zhuqing had seen on the road.
There was no one inside the carriage beside him.
Chi Xiu bent his knees slightly, then reached the mountaintop in a few leaps.
He looked at the enormous iron chain winding through the clouds and mist, feeling puzzled. How had she gotten across? Could she have already fallen off the cliff?
