It only took maybe fifteen minutes to reach Zahn City by carriage. Wu Jian, Wu Meiying, and Hou Jingshu had decided not to use a carriage, however, and instead ran all the way. Even though they were running, it still only took maybe forty-five minutes at Wu Jian’s estimation. By the time they reached the city, Hou Jingshu was gasping for breath, while Wu Jian and Wu Meiying had barely worked up a sweat.
“I thought… haaah haaah… I thought we were… not… exercising… today…” Hou Jingshu gasped between great lungfuls of breath.
“We’re not,” Wu Jian said.
Wu Meiying nodded. “That was just to keep us warmed up.”
“You… you call that… huff huff… you call that a warm up?”
“Yes.”
“That’s right.”
“You two… are crazy.”
