Twenty-One Progress Bars

At Eunuch Wei's level, many things can be seen clearly, especially whether a person has potential.

This is not about ability, but about experience.

From the very beginning of the Great Chu Kingdom, those who followed the Chu Emperor all started their careers amidst the flames of war.

Eunuch Wei was originally a normal man, but because of a battle where he faced dozens of skilled opponents of the same level alone, he suffered irreversible damage and ended up in his current state.

At that time, the Great Chu Kingdom was established, and founding heroes like them made immortal contributions to the Great Chu Kingdom.

The Chu Emperor wanted to appoint Eunuch Wei to a high-ranking official position, but Eunuch Wei refused no matter what, even when the Chu Emperor was furious.

In his words, he was already a eunuch, and if he were to become a high-ranking official, wouldn't that make him a laughingstock?

Etiquette is something that Eunuch Wei has always adhered to since birth.

It was both a rule and a principle for him, and he even set an example by doing so.

From that time on, Eunuch Wei became the head of the eunuchs.

However, those in the imperial court also showed great respect to Eunuch Wei.

Even a first-rank official in the court, if he made a mistake in etiquette and was publicly scolded by Eunuch Wei, would not dare to say a word against it.

The reason is simple: when a person sets an example, others have nothing to say, especially when that person has given up countless fame and fortune.

From then on, the world lost a powerful court official, but the palace gained a head eunuch.

As for how powerful Eunuch Wei, there was a World Ranking List the world at that time, which included the Great Chu, the Great Yue Kingdom, and even the Barbarians lands.

On the list, Eunuch Wei ranked twenty-third.

In the past, dozens of skilled assassins infiltrated the Imperial Palace to carry out an assassination attempt.

That night, in the Chu Emperor's courtyard, Eunuch Wei carried dozens of human heads and ordered the head eunuch in charge to drag them out and feed them to the dogs.

Though old, he is not to be underestimated.

Some have said that the Chu Emperor was extremely lucky, as these masters were all willing to submit to him.

Only Eunuch Wei, upon hearing this, merely smiled dismissively and ignored the words.

Such a master, someone who could silence even the highest-ranking officials in the palace, had such a high opinion of Xu Bai. If this were to become known, it would surely cause a huge uproar.

This was Eunuch Wei's intuition, and he always trusted it.

"If that's really the case, no wonder the Prince threw a tantrum in front of His Majesty," Eunuch Wei thought to himself.

At this moment, Xu Bai also walked in and happened to meet Eunuch Wei's gaze.

Looking into Eunuch Wei's slightly cloudy eyes, he sensed that the head eunuch in the palace harbored some inexplicable feelings towards him.

"Hiss..."

They say that when a man loses his manhood, his personality changes. Could it be...?

Xu Bai silently turned his gaze away.

"Brother Xu, you've arrived. This is Eunuch Wei from the palace, who has come specifically to deliver His Majesty's secret decree." Yun Zihai also saw Xu Bai and quickly greeted him.

Xu Bai walked over, greeted him, clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, and said, "Greetings, Eunuch Wei."

Eunuch Wei hummed in agreement and nodded.

This appearance was normal, but in Yun Zihai's eyes, it was anything but normal.

"How could Eunuch Wei, who is extremely particular about etiquette, remain indifferent to Xu Bai's actions?" Yun Zihai wondered.

He really didn't have time to remind him, and even when he was writing the message by carrier pigeon, Eunuch Wei was watching from the side.

You can't just talk about someone's quirks in front of them, can you? "Lord Yun, are you puzzled?" Eunuch Wei glanced at Yun Zihai.

Yun Zihai was slightly taken aback, then honestly replied, "Yes, Eunuch Wei."

"As the princess's teacher, there's no need for you to pay me such a high price," Eunuch Wei said slowly.

The Princess's Teacher?

Yun Zihai looked surprised, then turned to Chu Yu, who was hiding behind Xu Bai, and asked in astonishment, "I've never heard of this princess in the royal family. Could she be the Prince's?"

Since it had come to this point, and Eunuch Wei had already pointed it out, Xu Bai simply admitted it.

"Brother Xu, you've kept this from me for so long," Yun Zihai said with a wry smile.

He had guessed Chu Yu Chu Yu's identity before, but he never expected it to be like this.

"Hello, Grandpa Wei." At this moment, Chu Yu greeted him timidly.

Every member of the royal family in the palace had learned etiquette from Eunuch Wei. From childhood to adulthood, the torment they endured was ingrained in their very bones.

A rare smile appeared on Eunuch Wei's face, "The little princess must have learned a lot from this experience, and she will certainly not cause His Majesty and the Prince any more worry in the future."

Chu Yu shrank back and nodded, still very scared.

Eunuch Wei withdrew his gaze and turned to Xu Bai, saying, "Lord Xu, this is His Majesty's secret decree. According to the rules of the Great Chu Kingdom, there is no need to bow when receiving the decree."

As he spoke, Eunuch Wei took out a folded document from his pocket.

Secret edicts from the Great Chu Kingdom were not made of cloth, but rather of folded paper.

When the memorial was presented, Eunuch Wei's aura changed, becoming more profound and expansive.

"Prefectural Commander Yun Zihai and Prefectural Post Station Chief Xu Bai receive the imperial decree."

Xu Bai and Yun Zihai exchanged a glance, then bowed and said, "Your subject receives the decree."

The proper etiquette should still be observed, but there's no need for elaborate gestures.

Eunuch Wei nodded and said, "You two have made great contributions to the battle of Yunlai Prefecture and have rendered a great service to the Great Chu Kingdom. Now, you will be rewarded according to your merits."

"Yun Zihai has rendered meritorious service on this trip. He is hereby awarded a thousand taels of silver and Fourth Rank Cloud Ascending Brush."

As soon as Eunuch Wei finished speaking, a writing brush appeared from Eunuch Wei sleeve and floated in front of Yun Zihai.

This pen is as white as jade, with a shimmering luster on it; it is clearly not an ordinary item.

Yun Zihai accepted the gift with both hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

Eunuch Wei did not answer, but instead looked at Xu Bai and said, "Xu Bai made great contributions in this battle. It has been decided to grant Xu Bai the right to read the Imperial Treasury for one month. He can read any fourth-grade books at will, but he must go to the capital to read them."

Xu Bai: "..."

Huh? He wondered if he'd misheard. A month's worth of access?

Is this a big surprise?

Xu Bai was stunned when he heard the news.

If you can read a fourth-grade book for a month, you can easily finish several books.

This reward perfectly met his requirements.

but...

Is there really such a thing as a free lunch? Xu Bai stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "Does he really want me to go to the Capital City again...?"

This is quite something; we still need to go to the Capital City.

"Lord Xu?" Seeing Eunuch Wei Xu Bai hadn't answered, Eunuch Wei asked, "Is there anything you're wondering about?"

"No." Xu Bai realized what was happening and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Let's talk about it later and see how things go.

Eunuch Wei nodded and turned his gaze to Chu Yu, saying, "Little princess, come with me, I'll take you to the army."

Chu Yu said "Oh," rolled her eyes, and said, "Young Master, come with us."

Before Xu Bai could answer, Eunuch Wei interrupted, "Lord Xu will be setting off in three days, and his route will be different from ours. Little Princess, please don't play around and be impolite."

The moment the word "etiquette" was uttered, the room fell silent.

Chu Yu shrank her neck and lowered her head, saying, "Okay."

After saying that, she rolled her eyes and looked at Xu Bai.

"You must come visit me at the military base often in the future."

Xu Bai smiled and nodded, agreeing.

What Xu Bai had imagined didn't happen next, such as the possibility of any rifts arising; everything proceeded smoothly and uneventfully.

Chu Yu left with Eunuch Wei, heading to his father's army, while Xu Bai was preparing to return to Shadow Courier Station alone when Yun Zihai stopped him.

"Brother Xu, your trip to the capital this time is probably not as simple as it seems. It's not just about browsing the books in the Imperial Treasury." Yun Zihai had also seen this, and after pulling Xu Bai back, a serious look appeared on his face.

This reward is inexplicable. If it were Yun Zihai, rewarding him with a few books would be fine, but why does he have to make Xu Bai personally go to the Capital City to read the Imperial Treasury?

Yun Zihai couldn't understand what His Majesty was thinking or what scheme he had. "There are still three days, enough time for me to figure it out," Xu Bai said.

They will set off in three days, and during this time, Xu Bai can consider all sorts of clues to see if he can come to a conclusion, even if it is a vague one.

"I hope everything is alright," Yun Zihai said.

"It's nothing, I'll be going now." Xu Bai waved his hand and took his leave.

After leaving the Prefectural Office, he went directly to the Shadow Courier Station and instructed Liu Er to take good care of the Shadow Courier Station's affairs in the near future. Then he sat down in a chair and closed his eyes to think.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes.

He had a feeling that something was going on, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

The emperor would never lay a hand on him. If he really wanted to, he would have done so at Yunlai Prefecture. Eunuch Wei could have solved everything by taking action directly.

Since they didn't intend to harm him, they must have had other plans.

"To go or not to go?" Xu Bai pondered.

Although he had already accepted the secret decree, he still had three days to consider whether or not to go.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Bai stood up from his chair and made up his mind.

--go.

Putting everything else aside, the mere fact that he could read all the fourth-grade books in the Imperial Treasury within a month was already enough to tempt him.

What he lacks most right now is precisely a progress bar.

If you can really stay for a whole month, that would definitely be a good deal.

Wrong!

Xu Bai had already made up his mind when suddenly he thought of something.

Did we really make a profit?

He has now reached the level of a fifth-rank master, and most of his skills have also reached the fifth rank. Although fourth-rank books are hard to find, it is not absolute.

As long as we find a safe and secure place, it might just take a little longer; there's no need to take the risk.

"But if I don't take the risk, I'll have to find somewhere to hide. After all, directly disobeying an imperial decree seems to be a serious crime," Xu Bai thought to himself.

To accept the imperial decree and then defy it—the consequences of such an action are quite high.

"The emperor is really good at this. On the surface, he gave me a lot of rewards, but he wants me to go to the Capital City in person. It makes sense on the surface, and most importantly, I can't refuse." Xu Bai put one hand on his chin and played with the teacup on the table with the other.

Isn't that a clever trick? On the surface, they gave him a reward, but who knows what they're secretly planning? And the reward is quite good on the surface. Most importantly, it's the emperor's reward, so he can't refuse it.

Just as Xu Bai was preparing to make a decision, he didn't expect to hear footsteps outside the door.

"Who?"

This is where the postmaster lives. No matter how bold the Courier Folk outside are, they wouldn't dare to set foot in this place.

He looked in the direction of the footsteps and saw Eunuch Wei, with a kind face, walking in from outside the door.

"Greetings, Lord Xu Lord Xu. It seems you haven't chosen the right path yet, so I've come to lend Lord Xu a hand." Eunuch Wei greeted Xu Bai politely as he entered, standing in front of him with his hands at his sides.

Xu Bai silently placed his hand on the hilt of the Ghost-Head Saber saber and said, "Why did Eunuch Wei come to my little place instead of seeing Chu Yu off?"

"The little princess is safe for now. I came here mainly to tell Lord Xu something, and then I'll really be leaving." When Eunuch Wei saw Xu Bai with his hand on the hilt of his sword, he was not angry at all, but instead showed an expression of appreciation.

He has seen too many young people, and many so-called prodigies, even those who have been elevated to extraordinary talent.

But in his mind, those were just hothouse flowers that had gradually gained their current reputation through the careful cultivation of their families or sects.

In Eunuch Wei's mind, with the allocation of resources from his family and sect, even a pig with a spirit could take off.

But Xu Bai is different.

He had already investigated all sorts of information about Xu Bai. From the beginning to his current situation, this young man had always been fighting alone.

There might be some unexpected encounters, but who doesn't have some these days? The most important thing is that this young man's personality suits his taste perfectly.

He is both brave and resourceful, and even in this situation, he still dares to fight. In this respect alone, many young people in the world cannot compare to him.

Most of those so-called prodigies crumbled after encountering him, some even unable to lift their weapons, while this man remained calm and seemed to want to fight him to the death.

"If all the younger generation of our Great Chu Kingdom had the character of Lord Xu, then the Great Chu Kingdom would have successors. It's a pity, there are too few," Eunuch Wei said from the bottom of his heart.

Are there any younger generation members who can rival Xu Bai? The world is vast; there certainly are, but they are few and far between.

Upon hearing Eunuch Wei's praise, Xu Bai's lips curled up slightly. "To receive praise from Eunuch Wei is an honor beyond measure. But surely Eunuch Wei didn't come here just to praise me?"

"Of course not." Eunuch Wei raised his right hand, and a medium-sized wooden box appeared on his right hand without anyone noticing.

After placing the wooden box on the table, Eunuch Wei pointed to it, indicating that Xu Bai should open it and take a look.

Xu Bai frowned and opened the box in front of him. When he saw what was inside, his frown deepened.

Inside was a map, a map of the Great Chu Kingdom, and below the map were twenty-one books.

When Xu Bai took out one of the books, he found that the progress bar was still stuck in the wooden box.

Every book had a progress bar! This was beyond Xu Bai's expectations. He looked surprised, opened one of the books, and then slowly closed it again.

Next, he opened and closed each book, and finally slowly closed the lid of the wooden box.

"Isn't Your Majesty's reward a bit too generous?"

The wooden box contained the remaining parts of the Nameless Saber Scripture.

If the twenty-four Nameless Saber Scripture can be combined into one, one can reach the first rank.

"His Majesty said that you love doing business, and we're discussing business with you now. Since it's business, of course we need the corresponding capital," Eunuch Wei said slowly. "Can we take this business?"

"Whether I can take it or not depends on what kind of business it is." Xu Bai picked up the map and noticed that some places were marked on it.

Eunuch Wei stepped forward, pointed to the map, and said, "Lord Xu only needs to stop at these marked places on his way to the Capital City."

Xu Bai stroked his chin, remained silent, and stared directly at Eunuch Wei, his meaning quite clear in his eyes.

He wanted to know the reason, after all, he couldn't do something without thinking.

"The Great Chu Kingdom has taken a great deal of time from its founding to the present day, and His Majesty has worked diligently to manage everything in an orderly manner," said Eunuch Wei.

"But there is not only one Great Chu Kingdom in the world. The Great Chu Kingdom developed rapidly in the past, but forgot to fix many loopholes."

"The seemingly monolithic Great Chu Kingdom actually has many wormholes deep inside, so we need to be ruthless and fill all the holes in it."

At this point, Eunuch Wei paused slightly, seemingly because he was getting old and needed to slow down. However, Xu Bai knew that the strength of the person in front of him had nothing to do with his age.

He didn't interrupt or say anything, waiting for Eunuch Wei to continue.

He knew what the eunuch Eunuch Wei meant by the cave; it was nothing more than those people hiding in the shadows of the Great Chu Kingdom Great Chu Kingdom, ready to overthrow it at any time.

But what does it all have to do with him? He can't possibly investigate everything, can he? He's not in this line of work, so how could he possibly understand it?

"Lord Xu is currently riding high. Putting aside other factors, he has gained His Majesty's favor simply by resolving this matter, and this favor is known to all," said Eunuch Wei. "Then those who are hiding in the shadows have no chance of coming out unless they have huge benefits to gain. And now, the benefits have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

He finally understood; the main purpose of this journey wasn't to reach the Capital City, but rather to be there along the way.

The reason why it happened on the road is actually quite simple.

He is now famous, and even the emperor is offering a huge price to have him come to the capital for an audience.

Some people want him to go, while others want him not to go.

Those who don't want him to go will naturally try every means to stop him.

Otherwise, once Xu Bai actually arrives, the emperor will have a powerful assistant.

Those who tried to stop him were initially impossible to find, but with Xu Bai's actions along the way, they were simply waiting to be exposed and then eradicated by the Emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom.

"Your Majesty's plan is truly brilliant," Xu Bai said.

"Of course." Eunuch Wei nodded matter-of-factly, slowly put his hands behind his back, looked at Xu Bai seriously without even blinking, and asked, "Since that's the case, does Lord Xu agree? If he agrees, the remaining Nameless Saber Scripture be given to Lord Xu."

Xu Bai stroked the surface of the wooden box with his hand and said, "This is something that no one can refuse."

As mentioned earlier, since it's a business negotiation, one must have the capital to negotiate. The other party has already handed over their capital, and Xu Bai naturally accepted it gladly.

The Emperor has already collected all the remaining books of the Nameless Saber Scripture, which has greatly reduced the time available to Xu Bai. If he can complete the remaining progress bar of the Nameless Saber Scripture Manual, he will directly advance to the first rank.

The saying goes that fortune favors the bold; when the potential reward is great enough, taking the risk is worthwhile.

When Eunuch Wei heard Xu Bai agree, he said, "Lord Xu, you can rest assured. Those real old monsters won't dare to make a move, because once they do, they will be completely exposed, whether openly or secretly. If they really make a move, we will take action in time."

The implication is quite clear: the most important part of this step is to eliminate unnecessary steps.

"What about the fourth-grade book for that month?" Xu Bai felt there was still room for negotiation on this matter.

"Of course we will honor this reward, after all, it is indeed what Lord Xu deserves. As for the books you have, they are just for our business purposes," said Eunuch Wei.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "Eunuch Wei is truly an upright man. Since you all value this matter so much, I will agree."

"Good, brave and decisive, not someone who hesitates." Eunuch Wei praised, "Your appearance will probably make the younger generation in the world feel insecure. I would be happy to see that. Since you have agreed, I will take my leave. I must send the little princess to the military camp immediately."

"I won't see you off," Xu Bai said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Having finished his task, Eunuch Wei said no more and turned to leave.

Xu Bai kept staring in the direction where Eunuch Wei had left until he could no longer see him, then slowly turned his gaze to the wooden box on the table.

"This is good stuff."

Nothing appeals to him more than a progress bar, and now there are twenty-one progress bars all at once. If he doesn't believe it, then it's probably fake.

Xu Bai walked to the door and called out, "Liu Er."

Liu Er, who was patrolling near Shadow Courier Station, quickly ran over. "Sir."

"Come inside with me, I have something to tell you," Xu Bai said.

Since we've decided to go, we should make sure everything is arranged properly here before leaving, to prevent our base from being raided.

Xu Bai's voice rang out in the quiet room.

Time flies like water.

Life is like a beautiful journey. On this journey, anything can stay still and wait for you, except time.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

"Brother Xu, the journey is long, take care on your journey." Yun Zihai said, cupping his hands in greeting as he stood at the entrance of Shadow Courier Station.

Xu Bai carried a wooden box and a bundle on his back, and a paper figure at his waist. He laughed and said, "Don't make it sound like we're facing life and death. I'm just going for a short trip."

"My lord, the horse has been brought." Liu Er led a fine horse to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai used to be a bodyguard. Although he wasn't an expert horseman, he could at least ride a horse without any problems.

Taking the reins from Liu Er, Xu Bai mounted his horse and glanced back at Shadow Courier Station.

"Alright, it's getting late. You guys go do what you need to do. I'm leaving."

He didn't say much, nor did he mention anything about "a hero going forth never to return." He simply turned the reins, and with a "giggle," rode away at full speed.

Yun Zihai watched Xu Bai's departing figure until he disappeared from sight before turning his gaze away.

In this quiet place, Yun Zihai's voice rang out.

"Now is the time for fish to leap freely in the vast sea. I wonder what kind of storm Brother Xu will stir up this time when he goes to the capital?"

Here, Xu Bai was heading towards his destination, while elsewhere, various different voices rang out.

"Oh? That young man who rose to prominence in the martial arts world has already headed towards the Capital City?"

"Very good, very good, it is indeed so. For me, this is an excellent opportunity."

"Hehe, the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom wants to recruit another promising talent, then I will have to stop him."

"Someone! Someone! Find out this person's route for me, and you must be quick!"

Different places, different voices, but all with the same goal.

Besides these places, in the Capital City, inside a luxurious palace.

One of the rooms had its door closed, but a dim light shone from inside.

A young woman slowly took off her gauze dress and stepped into the pool in front of her.

The pool contained clean, warm water, with unidentified flower petals floating on its surface.

The young woman, with her delicate features and voluptuous figure, lay in the water beside the pool. Her long, black hair was submerged in the water, slowly spreading out and obscuring the view.

Even so, the rounded, fair shoulders that emerge from the water are enough to make one's heart flutter. Looking further, they are partially hidden between the water's surface and the surrounding area, adding to the sense of maturity.

Another pair of fair hands appeared, gently placed on the intoxicating shoulders, and slowly kneaded them.

The Ninth Princess closed her eyes, enjoying the massage from behind, when she suddenly spoke, "Qing Xue, your heart is in turmoil. Is it because that man came?"

Qing Xue, who was massaging the Ninth Princess's shoulders, paused slightly, then shook her head.

"Princess, you misunderstand. Since becoming your maid, Qingxue has long since abandoned worldly emotions."

"Then why hesitate?" The Ninth Princess pressed Qing Xue's hand and pulled her closer.

Qing Xue lowered her head and said, "Qing Xue is thinking that if he comes, the world in Kyoto will probably change."

The Ninth Princess fell silent for a moment, then said, "If you can get there, then you should receive him."

Qing Xue agreed and nodded gently.

The Ninth Princess said, "Continue."

She was soaking in the water, her long legs slightly curled up, lost in thought.

On the other side, in another palace within the Imperial Palace.

"Your Highness, Xu Bai is no ordinary man. Since he is coming, we must treat him well."

Zhou Qing, who had once fought alongside Xu Bai against the Eighth Prince, stood before the Sixth Prince and resolutely put forward his own ideas.

As one of the Sixth Prince's advisors, he felt he had to bring up this idea.

Although His Majesty has now lifted restrictions on members of the royal family, Zhou Qing still believes that it is essential to befriend Xu Bai.

What he saw and heard that day still haunts him to this day, especially Xu Bai's demonic and monster-like figure, which has not lessened the shock he felt at all.

The Sixth Prince frowned. "I have many more talents to recruit right now, so I really can't take care of him. If he comes, we can try to recruit him casually. If he doesn't agree, we just shouldn't offend him. After all, he is someone who has been rewarded by the Emperor."

"Sigh..." When Zhou Qing heard the Sixth Prince say this, he knew that his prince had made up his mind, so he stopped talking. He just felt that it would be a great pity to miss such an opportunity.

Xu Bai, is it really not possible?

No, Zhou Qing believes that even in the Capital City, it would be difficult to find a young person who can match him.

"I hope His Highness is right," he thought to himself.

The dragon has nine sons, each different from the other.

Apart from the Eighth Prince, who was schemed against by the emperor, every member of the royal family had their own ideas.

In another hall, the Seventh Prince, his face grim, slammed his fist on the table.

"Alright, you've finally arrived. I sent someone to invite you out of the blue, but they died inexplicably. Although we can't find any evidence that you did it, it's definitely related to you."

Beside him, his men stood still, none of them daring to utter a sound.

After waiting for a long time, it was still a scholar-like person. I mustered up my courage and stepped out from the crowd.

"Your Highness, since Xu Bai was invited by His Majesty, it would be better if we didn't touch him."

If it were someone else who made the move, that would be fine, but if a member of the royal family made the move openly, it could cause serious problems.

But seeing the Seventh Prince's angry expression, the man thought for a moment and added, "Even if we're going to take action, we have to wait until he finishes reading for a month."

It would be somewhat more reasonable once Xu Bai received all the rewards from His Majesty.

"Very well!" the Seventh Prince said. "In that case, you should come up with a good plan for me. If he dares to touch my people, I will definitely not let him get away with it!"

"Yes!" everyone quickly replied.

Among the members of the royal family, each person has different ideas.

But no matter what these people thought, it still couldn't stop Xu Bai's progress.

Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Bai had approached a Shadow Courier Station and planned to rest there for a while.

He didn't rest during this time. Even while riding a horse, he would occasionally work on the progress bar, since he didn't need to read it carefully; he only needed to keep his eyes on it.

While riding a horse like this is a bit unique, at least it's safe and allows the progress bar to increase.

One of the Nameless Saber Scripture is almost full, and Xu Bai estimates that it will be completed in a day or two.

He didn't actually feel tired, since he had been riding a horse the whole way, and with his current physical condition, this little bit of bumpiness was nothing.

But the horse could no longer run, and if it didn't rest, it would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Fortunately, the Shadow Courier Station built by the Great Chu Kingdom was very well-equipped, and he arrived inside in no time.

Xu Bai found a place to sit down, took out a map, and ate a few more bites of dry rations.

He paid some money and got the horse some good fodder, and then he didn't care about it anymore.

According to the markings on the map, he was not far from the first mark.

After resting here, we won't need to rest at the next location; we can go directly to the first marked position.

Xu Bai watched and thought at the same time.

Just then, he felt a figure moving in front of him. When he looked up, his brows furrowed.
