"It wasn't me."
Realizing she had recognized him, Chen Yi flatly denied it and turned to run.
"After him!"
There was no way Fang Hongxiu would let him get away. She immediately led several of her subordinates in pursuit.
As they chased, she reminded them, "Be careful. Don't let him use the terrain to his advantage like last time."
The three Imprisonment Officers beside her nodded repeatedly. "Rest assured, Lord Hundred Households."
They clearly remembered the last time they'd chased him relentlessly, only to be successfully ambushed by Chen Yi around a corner.
Chen Yi, of course, remembered as well, so this time he repeated his old trick, ducking into a small alley.
Fang Hongxiu and her men were instantly on alert, their pursuit slowing for a moment.
Then, they all drew the long Blades from their waists. As they rounded the corner, they led with their weapons.
This way, even if they were ambushed, they could still fight back.
