Outside the county prison.
The morning breeze from the mountains was slightly chilly.
Jiang Ning stepped out of the county prison, feeling somewhat dazed.
Calculating the time.
He had been in this prison for a full seven days.
The time spent was far longer than he had anticipated.
He originally thought with Zhao Yulong, the grandmaster, stepping in, along with County Governor Wang.
Plus, Xiao Mingyue's death wasn't directly related to him; Xiao Mingyue had framed him through suicide, and he figured he could be out in two or three days at most.
Unexpectedly, this matter involved the nobility, causing him to stay a few more days in prison.
"It's fine!"
"The environment in prison was quiet enough that I could focus entirely on practice, and my skills improved significantly."
"And I unexpectedly gained something from Long Xingyun!"
At this moment.
The heavy iron gate ahead slowly opened.
Squeak—
The metal bearings turned, emitting a piercing sound.
