After traveling for several days, Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu still hadn't caught up, and there was no trace of the Divine Crossbow Team.
Meanwhile, the temperature was gradually rising. Qiao Xiaomai sensed something was off and asked, "Where exactly are we headed?"
"To the seaside, taking the water route."
Qiao Xiaomai: "...Is all this really necessary?"
"Mmhm."
"Aren't you unafraid of Tong Sanlang and Lingsu?"
"But the two of them teaming up is scary." Bei Yun was quite self-aware about his own capabilities.
"They're definitely teaming up on the battlefield."
"No problem. I've got you as my hostage, anyway." Bei Yun said with a cheerful grin.
Qiao Xiaomai: "..."

Upon leaving the Capital City, Bei Yun headed southeast and switched to a ship as soon as they reached the harbor. The ship was more comfortable than the carriage—at least they could eat hot meals now.
