'It seems I can't go back to my old, familiar life,' Chu Jing thought. 'I've said goodbye to my former world for good.'
She couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.
She knew she had to start planning for the future.
Qiu Ye nodded, his expression serious. "I took the water route. Going that way, it's half a day at the fastest."
"But..."
He paused, his gaze growing slightly complicated as he continued.
"If we go by land, I can't be sure. I'd have to ask Gu Si and the others to know the specific road conditions and how long it would take."
Chu Jing listened, pondering for a moment with a thoughtful expression.
Then she nodded lightly to show she understood.
Qiu Ye watched her, his gaze deepening as a probing look crossed his features.
"You're thinking about the salt stones, aren't you?"
At his words, Chu Jing's eyes flashed, her gaze instantly sharpening.
Qiu Ye looked away, a little shy, the tips of his ears turning a faint shade of red.
