The next day, at dawn.
'Gongzhou Prefecture... I fled in a hurry last time. I never thought I'd be back here again.'
Fang Yue stood before the city gates of Gongzhou Prefecture. The early morning breeze blew gently, carrying a hint of a chill.
He gazed at this city, both familiar and strange, an indescribable feeling welling up within him.
'I was forced to flee last time. I had no other choice.'
He recalled the scene vividly, as if it were only yesterday. 'This time, I hope everything goes smoothly, without any more surprises.'
Fang Yue took a deep breath, firmed his resolve, and strode into the city.
He knew this journey wouldn't be as rushed or miserable as the last, but he was also well aware that the difficulties and challenges he faced would be no less significant.
The organization whose plans he had ruined would not back down so easily.
Fang Yue understood that by stepping foot in Gongzhou Prefecture again, he had already caught that organization's attention.
