Zhu Yu followed behind Lu Qing, running all the way towards the West Market. The closer they got, the more bustling it became.
Some had squeezed to the front earlier and seen everything they needed to see, and now were walking away while vividly describing the beheading scene to companions who missed it.
Others had been stuck at the back earlier and couldn't get in, now they were desperately trying to push to the front, maybe to catch the excitement, or because they believed the demon path rumors that flesh and blood could cure ailments.
Lu Qing discreetly signaled the talisman to lead the way, with Zhu Yu following behind it, and himself behind Zhu Yu. With the tall and burly talisman opening a path, the people in front were mostly pushed aside. Zhu Yu followed closely without worrying about being shoved or jostled.
