NOVPUBShen Roujia gave a final glance at the raging fire and turned away, resolutely leaving the place behind.
Through Zhang San, Shen Roujia learned that the Hidden Pavilion had branches beyond the capital and might still provide some support at the border.
Zhang San, loyal as ever, insisted on accompanying Shen Roujia.
Just as they left the Imperial Prison, Shen Roujia encountered Tao Hua.
“Miss Shen, I never imagined you had such a background.”
Shen Roujia sighed, “I’m sorry for dragging you into this...”
Tao Hua quickly interrupted her, “There’s no need for more farewells. This carriage has been specially prepared for you, and take this token. If you encounter Doctor Qiao, you can go to the Divine Doctor’s Valley, where you’ll find help.”
Several strong men from the Martial Alliance were standing behind Shen Roujia. “The Martial Alliance isn’t far from the Divine Doctor’s Valley. You could stop by on your way.”
Shen Roujia calmly accepted the jade token.
“Tao Hua, while I’m gone, the Glamorous Pavilion will be under your control. There’s no need to go to the trouble of finding someone else. You can manage everything well enough.”
Tao Hua chuckled lightly, “Master, you must not know that the Glamorous Pavilion won’t change hands easily. Unless you die and I find your inner strength in someone else, it will remain yours.”
Hearing this, Shen Roujia paused, slightly taken aback. Tao Hua didn’t explain further; instead, he stepped back and respectfully bowed.
Zhang San called out, “Master, it’s time to get in the carriage.”
Shen Roujia gazed at the towering palace walls from afar and softly murmured, “Alright.”
