Upon arriving at the city gate, they saw a group of Huo Family men in armor, checking every cultivator who passed.
The pair drew closer and glanced up at a notice posted on the wall. It was only then that they understood the Huo Clan Leader's clever scheme.
He had actually blamed Huo Jinchuan's injury and disappearance on them.
He used this as a pretext to post a large public bounty.
The corner of Song Wanning's mouth twitched. 'That old fox is quite the schemer. He's the one who wanted his own son dead, yet he's using us as scapegoats.'
"You two, over here!"
A guard at the gate yelled at Song Wanning and Baili Shang.
They immediately hurried forward and respectfully handed over the entrance fee.
"Where are you from?"
The guard looked Song Wanning and Baili Shang up and down, not letting them enter the city immediately.
Song Wanning's expression remained unchanged. She simply stood meekly to the side, waiting for Baili Shang to answer.
