He Province, on the frontier.
At the edge of the wilderness, the windblown dust gradually settled.
Looking at the somewhat familiar lands ahead, both Chu Tiange, Qiu Yinong, and their companions, and Feng Linxi's group from the Sky-Patrol Bureau-
All let out long breaths of stale air, feeling a wave of relief.
No matter how high their cultivation, anyone facing a religious order with unfathomable foundations would be lying if they claimed to feel no pressure.
Fortunately, the outcome was fairly pleasing.
Neither the Sky-Patrol Bureau nor Chu Tiange's party had lost anyone in the turmoil.
"He Province lies just ahead. Young friend Jiang, this is as far as we can accompany you."
Feng Linxi glanced sideways at the girl beside him, a trace of complicated emotion crossing his eyes.
Such an astonishingly gifted human prodigy should have been shining brilliantly across the Nine Provinces, yet now she could not even receive the protection she deserved.
She had even been reduced to taking a former Unranked Immortal as her master, rushing from place to place in the cracks between the various powers...
The bitterness of it was probably beyond anyone else's understanding.
After pondering for a while, he said softly, "I know how wronged you must feel, but please wait a little longer. Qingwei Heaven won't disappoint you..."
At his words.
Jiang Yuechu looked up at him in mild surprise.
Wronged?
What did I have to feel wronged about?
But seeing the apology in his eyes, she quickly realized what he meant.
Jiang Yuechu lightly pressed her lips together, letting the sweeping wind brush through her raven-feather hair.
"It's all right. I'm quite used to it."
Hearing that calm reply, Feng Linxi sighed even more deeply inwardly.
Beside them, Chen Changeng had been holding his questions in the entire way.
