When Gu Yunzhi awoke the next day, he was surprised to find that he had not become a cripple, and at the same time he felt a strange sensation in his body. Seeing a plum blossom on the bed, he recalled the determined look in a young girl's eyes and her tightly knit brows.
"Silly girl, you're so good to me. How can I ever repay you?" He muttered, and as if remembering something, he rolled up the plum blossom on the bed and put it into his bag.
Just as Gu Yunzhi finished dressing and was packing his things, he suddenly heard the sound of birds flapping their wings outside the window. It was his pet goshawk, specially trained to deliver important messages between him and Hei Xiong. This goshawk was extraordinarily perceptive; even if it was far away, it could find its master by merely sensing the slightest aura.
Sure enough, when Gu Yunzhi opened the window, a sleek black figure immediately flew to him. Gu Yunzhi extended his arm, and the goshawk landed steadily on it.
