Repaying Kindness

Xue Wei had been fleeing northwards this entire time. However, after losing his pursuer, he started changing his direction.

He ran west for a long time, after which he finally started moving south again.

He knew that he had to find information on Tie Haolong, but visiting human settlements included exposure and potentially drawing even bigger figures to himself

"My only option is to return the way I came," Xue Wei said as he sighed. "I can get information when I reach the capital... if I manage to reach it in time."

Xue Wei could not help but grumble, "I want a flying beast, too. If I had a flying beast, the trip to the capital would be simple. Now that I don't, I have to walk through the same hardships as I encountered on the way here."

Just as Xue Wei said this, a bird cry resounded in the sky. When Xue Wei looked up, his face paled.
