Just as Ling Hua expected, Ning Ye and Wen Xingzhi detoured back to Youzhou to avoid Yan Qing's pursuit.
On the day of the banquet, Yan Qing deliberately let two experts go. Yun Luo took his people and chased in the direction they left. They left marks along the way, but after two hundred miles out of the Capital, Ning Ye seemed to notice and decisively abandoned them, causing Yun Luo to lose the trail.
After Yan Qing joined Yun Luo with Liuli, Zhu Lan, and a group of Hidden Guards, they analyzed several directions and decisively pursued one particular path.
Ning Ye created several deceptive setups along the way but couldn't shake off Yan Qing's pursuit. After more than ten days, they ended up in the Jiangnan region instead.
Following Yan Qing all the way down, Liuli was exhausted and frustrated. Looking at the city of Caojun, she was skeptical, "Young Marquis, are you sure they entered Caojun?"
