Three days later, in a mountain range somewhere in Cangzhou Prefecture.
Three men in dark teal Indigo Cavalry uniforms trimmed with red rode along a narrow mountain trail.
Who else could they have been but Chen Miao and his companions?
Though all three looked travel-worn, the other two were brimming with energy, while Chen Miao wore his usual expression.

They had completed four Indigo Cavalry missions in just seven days. Anyone would have been fired up!
Wang Chuan sat on his horse, gazing at Chen Miao's back ahead of him, filled with admiration.
He had thought he could get a handle on his superior, but after three days, the man had only become more unfathomable.
Thinking back on the two missions they had completed over those three days, Wang Chuan felt certain his superior possessed some extraordinary talent.

If the Junior Banner Officer really possessed such a talent, how could the Kong Family have let someone like him go?
