Chapter 296: Two hundred and ninety-six looking on with interest
Outer periphery of Yulin Mountain Range!
Three figures appeared in succession, looking a bit travel-weary. However, one among them, a youth clad in white, was still brimming with vitality, and the dust of the road could not hide his spirit of bold unconstraint.
"Second Prince Xuan Jing, thank you for escorting me along the way. This is where we part!"
Yun Xiao glanced at the lush forest before him, finally stopping in his tracks to turn and cup his fists in gratitude. Upon hearing these words, the young man in white was none other than the Second Prince of the Xuanyue Empire: Xuan Jing!
As for the chubby youth beside him, that was naturally Ling Wan, who had been traveling with them since they left Luocheng over a month ago.
With Xuan Jing’s protection, Yun Xiao no longer disguised himself during the journey and revealed his true identity. Even the City Lord of Luocheng wouldn’t dare to provoke Xuan Jing, let alone the lords of smaller cities.
In fact, the warrant for Yun Xiao’s arrest was only valid within the northwest territory of the Xuanyue Empire. Once out of that region, who would recognize Yun Xiao and why would anyone attack him without reason?
"Haha, I am someone who dislikes owing favors. You saved my life in the Meridian Treasure, so consider this favor repaid!"
Xuan Jing laughed with a wave of his hand, continuing, "When you think about it, I’m the one who gained the advantage. After all, how could the life of the young master from the Shang Family of Moon Bow City compare to my noble birthright as the Empire’s Second Prince?"
Yun Xiao had come to understand Xuan Jing’s personality quite well over the course of their travels. He knew that these words were not a true dismissal of his own status as a young master of a destroyed family, but an attempt to downplay the act of saving his life.
