Having resolved the incident in Iron Ring Town, Chu Qing and Gentle returned directly to the inn to rest.
On the way, there was no sign of the scholar or the female assassin.
That night, the scholar did not return either...
Early the next morning, they found out that the scholar had left silver in the room and departed the night before.
Regarding these two people, Chu Qing was quite concerned.
The scholar's martial arts were exceptionally high, and killing a few bandits revealed nothing about his depth, whereas the woman had pitiful martial arts skills.
Yet the woman attempted to assassinate the scholar, and although he clearly detected it early, he did not act.
Later, the female assassin chased the scholar, and he was afraid she couldn't keep up, so he came back to greet her...
This scene was rather puzzling.
After breakfast, Chu Qing and Gentle set off for Dingxing City.
