The terrifying sense of spatial distortion left him feeling completely uncertain. Fortunately, the fragmentation of space wasn't severe enough to cause total confusion.
But now, he was a little lost.
Because…
He had just run into a Junior Official—the same one he had seen earlier.
Still between the two black-leaf privet trees.
Except, when he'd seen the Junior Official before, the man had been unconscious.
But now, he was awake.
He was sitting on the ground, dazedly rubbing his head.
Hearing footsteps, he instinctively looked up. When he saw it was Zhao Ci, he scrambled to his feet and bowed.
"Your Highness!"
"At ease."
A chill ran through Zhao Ci, but his expression remained relaxed. He chuckled and said, "I didn't expect we'd get caught up in this even within the city walls."
