Chapter 6: Cangwu City
As they made their way through the dense forest, he walked beside the young lady while her two remaining bodyguards carried the unconscious Uncle Yao.
The massive boar carcass was left behind, too heavy to transport and not worth the effort.
"May I know your honored name?" She asked, stealing glances at him as they navigated the dense forest.
"Shi Jing," He replied simply, keeping his voice neutral. The less he revealed, the better this misunderstanding would serve him.
"I am Ming Muwan, daughter of the Ming family." She paused, seeming to weigh her words carefully.
Shi family name? She has never heard of this cultivation family before...
"Sir Jing, may I ask... which sect or manor are you from? Is it the Cloud Sword Manor? Or the Yellow River Sect?"
He remained silent. Seeing this, she didn’t probe further and asked no further.
As they emerged from the forest onto a well-maintained road, Ming Muwan tension seemed to ease slightly. In the distance, he could see the imposing walls of a giant city. The architecture was impressive, the walls were so tall and wide he couldn’t even see the end of it.
As they approached the main gate, he noticed the guards’ appearance. They were wearing heavy armor. Each of their movement would create flapping noises, this was the result of their armor hitting each other.
"This way," She whispered and gestured toward the smaller gate on the side. He didn’t say much and followed her.
