Li Huixi and Li Zhongshuang rode a seven-colored rainbow, moving rather slowly, perhaps to admire the scenery.
To spare their feelings-and because raising an objection would surely lead to bickering with Li Huixi-Zhang Yuan had no choice but to lower the Escape Speed of his [Golden Carriage Luan Chariot]. He did not want to stir up trouble so close to Cloud Prefecture City. Only when the sun sank behind the western mountains did they finally arrive.
