During his escape, Gu Sheng unexpectedly returned to Old Jiang's humble eatery.
The kind-hearted old man saw his disheveled state but asked no questions. Instead, he quietly prepared a clean room and a sumptuous dinner for him.
This act of kindness deeply moved Gu Sheng. He understood that in such dire circumstances, any help was invaluable.
He couldn't stay long. The following nightfall, under the cover of darkness, he silently left the small town to continue his escape.
Three days later, Gu Sheng finally made it to a bustling metropolis in Yan Country. Here, the city was teeming with people, its streets wide, lined with shops, and filled with endless traffic—a scene of lively prosperity. He felt that the vast sea of people might be just what he needed to hide and temporarily escape the shadows of pursuit.
After days of constant fleeing, Gu Sheng was utterly exhausted. It was only upon entering this city that he was able to exhale a long breath of relief.
