Meeting an Old Acquaintance Again

Ten days flashed by, and the walls of Xingfen City had already come into distant view. Nothing along the way could even be called dangerous; the Immortal Cloud Merchant Team had arranged everything properly.

It had to be said that traveling with a merchant team did provide a measure of safety. The price was a little steep at five hundred taels, but no one had any objections.

When Chen Fei had traveled from Xingfen City to Xianyun City, the fare had been a thousand taels. Now, coming from Xianyun City to Xingfen City, the price had been cut in half.

By Chen Fei's estimate, if he returned from Xingfen City to Xianyun City later, it would still cost a thousand taels, perhaps even a little more. The Immortal Cloud Merchant Team had a firm grasp on people's hearts.

Chen Fei bid farewell to Chu Wennian. Though they had only spent ten brief days together, they had developed a bit of friendship. But their destinations were different in the end, and they had to part ways in Xingfen City.

"Big Brother Chen, goodbye!"

Tears welled in Chu Lan's eyes as she waved hard at Chen Fei. Her reluctance gathered in her chest, making her want to burst into loud sobs. Chu Lan knew that this farewell would likely last a lifetime.

"Goodbye!"

Chen Fei waved once. After the merchant team had gone far away, he also left and found an inn to stay in.

According to Chen Fei's plan, he would remain in Xingfen City for a few days and find a channel to inquire about the current situation nearby. If possible, he hoped to thoroughly learn what had happened around Pingyin County as well.

When Chen Fei had left Xingfen City, Pingyin County had already been swallowed by that Anomaly.
