Volume 5 Phoenix Flower Blooms Chapter 6 Wuzhiqi (Part 2)

The second watch.

************

Xuanji and Tengshe followed the Judge back to Yidu. The scenery there had not changed at all; the Wangchuan River outside the city gate was still dazzlingly vibrant, and the red spider lilies on both banks bloomed fiercely, like a carpet made of fresh blood, stretching far and wide. Xuanji felt both familiar and nostalgic, and couldn't help but smile.

The Judge smiled and said, "Do you still remember spending your days lingering by the Wangchuan River?"

Xuanji nodded and said, "Hmm, I have an impression. But the thing I've been looking for, I still can't find it, it's all so vague now."

The Judge said softly, "It's fate, it's calamity; it all depends on you. You will eventually find out."

Tengshe listened to their incessant chatter, speaking in riddles, and grew quite impatient, shouting loudly, "Can't you talk less nonsense? Where is Wuzhiqi? Could he be imprisoned in Yidu?"
