Due to Nalan Jingwei's caution, neither Executioner Scholar nor Nalan Jingwei made a direct move. The two followed the Great Lord all the way, but didn't act even after leaving Shenchuan City. Nalan Jingwei was worried that Ye Qing might have other tricks up his sleeve or an ambush, so he refrained from acting, planning to wait for Ye Qing to make the first move.
However, the outcome was completely unexpected for them. The two followed all the way, but there was no movement at all. Even after the Great Lord had traveled far from Shenchuan City, there was no incident, which left them both quite puzzled.
"What's going on?" Executioner Scholar frowned and said in a low voice to Nalan Jingwei beside him, "Could it be that Ye Qing genuinely plans to use the Gold Silk Armor to exchange for his brother? For such a long time, we haven't seen anyone from Ye Qing, nor any special circumstances. What's really happening?"
