Three days had gone by in a flash.
During these three days, Zhao Changhe and Han Wubing stayed indoors to recover from their injuries. Apart from Han Wubing casually purchasing a new sword from a blacksmith's shop, everything else, including their meals, was served in their room to avoid any trouble.
The Blood God Sect seemed to have taken Zhao Changhe's final words seriously, or perhaps Xia Chichi's declaration that no one should steal his "dog's head" had its effect—regardless, despite knowing his whereabouts, not a soul from Sword Lake City came looking for trouble. Nor did any enemies, either from the Cui Family or the Listening Snow Pavilion, show their faces; the three days passed peacefully.
Interestingly, these two men hadn't exchanged a single word in the entire three days. Han Wubing was not fond of talking, and Zhao Changhe would just scowl at the sight of him, yet their acquaintance seemed to have improved.
