On a quiet road, infrequently used by people, an ordinary carriage moved at a moderate speed.
The sound of the creaking wheel echoed along the quiet road. Inside the carriage, two people sat opposite each other, each minding their own business.
They were Jun Wu and Mei Ling.
The small table between them was packed with ancient books and parchment still wet with ink.
"How long is the next village?" Jun Wu asked, without raising his head from his study.
"We should arrive at Jade Flower Village very soon," Mei Ling replied as her hand danced on the parchment while she wrote.
The duo had been traveling for the past five days.
After the battle with the beast tide, they waited two days to make preparations for their departure before leaving discreetly.
For the covert mission, Jun Wu did not bring any of his protectors; more people would alert their enemies of their departure.
