Baijian Heights was located at the border between Great Ming and Nan'an Country. Even if one rode a horse from the land of Bashu to Baijian Heights, it would take at least three days.
However, Zhu Youji was in no rush. He spent the mornings riding, the afternoons exploring mountains and rivers, and rested at night, following a particularly scientific and reasonable schedule.
Originally, the journey to Baijian Heights only required three days, but Zhu Youji, accompanied by the elders of the Blue Hall Sect, Yagyu Misaki, and nine other contestants, took a full ten days to arrive.
During these ten days, Zhu Youji was relaxed and jovial, enjoying the scenery with his companions, showing no sense of urgency about the upcoming Baijian Heights and the imminent Sword Sect Tournament.
This demeanor puzzled the two elders of the Blue Hall Sect, but they dared not act recklessly. Zhu Youji's intentions had already been made clear to the elders of the Blue Hall Sect.
