Sikong Jing drew her into his arms and kissed her on the forehead. "My darling wife is waiting at home. How could I possibly not come back?"
Watching her husband disappear into the distance, Su Yuexi touched the lingering dampness on her forehead, her heart brimming with sweetness.
At the city gate, Sikong Jing met Luo Ning again.
Two fierce, armor-clad soldiers stood beside her. Both were peak Dark Realm experts, though he did not know what they were there for.
"As for you leaving the city, I've already received General Qiu Ye's permission."
"But he said that, as a matter of routine, two soldiers must be sent to keep watch on you. They're the two before you."
Luo Ning pointed to the two soldiers and introduced them.
Sikong Jing did not particularly care. After nodding to the two men, he left the city with them.
Entering Cloud Mountain was not far from Yunye City. By noon that same day, Sikong Jing and Luo Ning's group had arrived.
At the foot of Entering Cloud Mountain stood a small town called Ruyun Town.
It served as a resting point for martial artists and merchant caravans entering Entering Cloud Mountain to seek adventure, gather medicinal herbs, and so on.
Because there were jade mineral veins within Entering Cloud Mountain, Luoshui Jade Firm also maintained a sizable residence in Ruyun Town.
The moment they stepped into the residence, a grim, murderous aura rushed toward them.
A small-mustached man of around thirty came forward and said, "Cousin, you're back."
Before his words had even faded, the man shifted his gaze to Sikong Jing and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, the expert you went all the way to Yunye City for—one you even traded thirty percent of Yunye City's profits to obtain—is this him?"
