"Ah! What the—Master!"
"Go, go..."
Feng Xuan waved his hand, fuming, and upon hearing these words, Fa Cai hesitated for a moment before bowing and saying, "Yes."
He turned and left.
Once Fa Cai had left, Feng Xuan looked up at the sky and said, "Heh, The day will never come for you to rise above me, the day will never come!"
Feng Xuan roared angrily!
His voice echoed through the secret chamber!
...
Chen Jie drank with the crowd until the afternoon, and seeing the evening approaching, he stood up to take his leave.
He told everyone he was returning home, but in fact, he sneaked out of the city and galloped straight into the countryside.
He didn't want to be seen leaving the city, so he left early, which reduced the chance of arising suspicion.
After exiting the city, Chen Jie found a secluded place to sit cross-legged and waited for nightfall.
After about an hour, as the sky darkened, he headed toward Jixiang Temple.
