The affair with Zhao Yi had no impact on Yang Chan. He was currently examining a map to Yun City, studying the various routes—the fastest ones and the detours alike.
All things being equal, Yang Chan would naturally have chosen the fastest path to save time. However, he ultimately settled on a compromise: a route that would take one day longer. This was because the fastest route passed through a canyon called Heaven's Needle and across treacherous, high mountains.
The weather had been poor recently, and Yang Chan worried about potential mudslides or ambushes. In the end, he chose the safer road. It was wide and didn't present any major risks.
Natural disasters were impossible for mortals to predict, and Yang Chan wasn't about to gamble with his life. Since he was traveling alone this time with no deadline, safety was his natural priority.
