As the ruling City Lord of Shifang City, Fang You ultimately chose to give up his carriage to Baili An and walked back to the mansion on foot.
To show respect, he even left his most trusted confidant, the Steward Qin Lou, personally guiding the way for Baili An.
Two lanterns swayed with the wind outside the carriage, casting flickering light that made Baili An's face alternately clear and obscure, unbeknownst to what thoughts he harbored.
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt, and a gust of wind blew through, extinguishing the two lanterns outside without any warning.
Sitting inside the carriage, Baili An's eyebrows moved slightly. He gently pushed open the door, only to see the carriage had somehow arrived at a deserted alley.
Atop the alley walls was a bright full moon, as large as a silver disc, pure and clear.
Under the moonlight, the stars shimmered faintly, and a slender blue silhouette stood atop a horse.
