For five consecutive days, they traveled with minimal rest along the way.
During these five days, the two of them rarely communicated.
Ji Ruobing was of a character cold as frost. Ever since she took the initiative to speak with Xu Zimei and was met with disdain, she never again initiated conversation.
And Xu Zimei was content with the silence.

That afternoon, shortly after leaving a city known as Yue City, Xu Zimei, who had been lying on the back of the Dark Heaven Tiger, suddenly sat up.
"There's a murderous aura," Ji Ruobing said with a grave expression.
"Who would be after us? Did you cause some trouble?" Xu Zimei asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it was you who attracted trouble," Ji Ruobing retorted, not to be outdone.
As they were speaking, the monster beast they were riding came to a halt.
Looking ahead, they saw three figures sitting not too far away.
