A few days later, on the official road, carriages and horses sped along.
Inside the carriage, a few people sat together; Zhu Xiaolian's face was pale, appearing absent-minded, and the other young gentlemen looked similar.
During the recent trip to the Red Lotus Temple, although they did not experience the same ordeals as Zhu Xiaolian, they were also startled by the massacre that took place in front of the temple. For several days they couldn't find peace of mind, and even now, the shock lingered.
Fortunately, after occupying the Red Lotus Temple, Li Mubai did not trouble the uninvolved people too much. Apart from the monks of the Red Lotus Temple, everyone else was released after their identities were verified, allowing them to return by carriage.
They had set off full of vigor, but returned feeling frightened, and the carriage was enveloped in silence; no one spoke a word.
