One Week Past

The time within Cave’s End went by slowly as Hui Yue wanted to return to Sha Yun. He still felt sorry for having left her alone within the tunnels with only an oversized poppy flower to keep her company. However, even in doing so, he felt that he had made the right decision considering their safety later on during their trip.

Nothing happened the first day apart from Hui Yue and the others settling into the cabin belonging to the laws. Hui Yue gave Deng Wu the task of placing inscription patterns all around the edge of the forest to work as a warning system, should the City Lord decide to attack.

Slowly putting up the inscriptions caused Hui Yue to feel a certain degree of safety. Although they did not cover the entire outskirts of the forest, it should still catch the intruders. The inscriptions were spread randomly and were invisible to the naked eye.
