Lingzhou City was a far cry from what it once was.
The street vendors had dwindled, and there were only a few pedestrians.
"Haa… I'm finally back."
A young man with a saber on his back arrived at the city gate.
Just as he was about to enter Lingzhou City, he was stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Do you have any papers?"
The young man took out a Black Gold Token from his robes.
When the city gate guard saw the Token, his face drained of color. "My lord."
This was the unique Token belonging to the Demon-slaying Guard General of Lingzhou.
This young man was, of course, Bai Yuan, who had returned from Dingzhou.
Bai Yuan put away the Token and walked straight into the city, leaving the city gate guards whispering amongst themselves behind him.
Before long, he arrived at a steamed bun stall.
Old Dong had once bought buns from this stall and said they were good, so this time, Bai Yuan made a special trip to try them.
"Shopkeeper, a steamer of buns."
