Lin Yan arrived in Gengxin City, Bibi Dong began preparations to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

A month later!

"Is this Gengxin City? It looks so run-down! There's nothing fun about it."

"We didn't come here to have fun."

On the streets of Gengxin City, Lin Yan had an arm around Shui Yue'er, who held Shui Bing'er's hand. The three walked side by side, making a crowd of burly men turn their heads repeatedly.

Gengxin City was the Steel City of the Star Luo Empire.

Its architecture still belonged to an era many years past. Though old and somewhat dilapidated, it still carried a faint air of the Steel Capital.

The most obvious signs were the smell of metal and rust along both sides of the street, and the sharp ringing of forging hammers.

If there was anything this city had no shortage of, it was metal and blacksmiths.

Even its residents were all more powerfully built.

As Lin Yan surveyed the streets, Shui Bing'er suddenly spoke, looking somewhat awkward.

"Lin Yan, how... how long are we staying here?"

Lin Yan turned his head. "That depends, but at least ten days or a couple of weeks."

"Why?"

"N-no reason."

Over a month had passed as Lin Yan brought the two women from Tiandou to the Star Luo Empire. Shui Yue'er had long since become inseparable from him, clinging to him like glue and lacquer, but Shui Bing'er had grown increasingly deliberate about keeping her distance.

It was as though her sense of morality had shackled her, forcing her to be cautious around this "brother-in-law."

Shui Yue'er guessed what her older sister was thinking and said casually:

"I told you ages ago to go home first and let Mom and Dad know we're safe. With Lin Yan here, what could possibly happen to me?"

"Now look. Mom and Dad are probably worried sick at home."
