260. A ruthless person doesn't talk much

New Yu Era 1325, January 30

Hou Yuxiao had finally set out on his journey back to Hexi. Although Zhan Taiqing had asked him to leave on the twenty-fifth, he didn't depart immediately. There were three reasons for delaying five days.

The first was for caution, as the eight men in black had only left recently. If Zhao Ponu was still watching and waiting outside, Hou Yuxiao could very well walk right into his trap.

The second reason was to gather information. He was still in the dark about the matters concerning the Divine Capital; the Saint Heavenly Fist Sect was clearly in league with Great Jin, but its relationship with Zhan Taiqing was also ambiguous. He needed some time to delve into the situation.
