NOVPUBWhen Shen Roujia woke up again, they had already left the city.
Since the group was drawing too much attention, Shen Roujia split them into two smaller groups of four or five people each.
Shen Roujia then asked the black-faced man, “Brave warrior, I still don’t know your name.”
The man pulled a woman closer and replied, “I’m Wei Rui! And this is my wife, Liu Ruyi.”
Looking at the two, Shen Roujia realized they were a married couple.
With that, Shen Roujia’s group now included Wei Rui and Liu Ruyi. Zhang San glanced at Shen Roujia.
“Master, did you ask the Martial Alliance members to return and report back?”
Shen Roujia nodded. “We have too many people, and it’s drawing too much attention. For now, let’s keep it simple. If you two don’t mind, let’s pretend you’re my brother and sister-in-law. Zhang San, you can call me Miss.”
Zhang San naturally obeyed Shen Roujia. Since they were on the road and concerned about the possibility of someone from the capital pursuing them, they decided to keep a low profile.
Shen Roujia adopted the surname Wei and casually picked a name. “Brother, Sister-in-law.”
Wei Rui didn’t react much, but Liu Ruyi was especially pleased. “Great, such a lovely sister. Ah Rui, aren’t you happy?”
Wei Rui’s expression turned a bit somber. “If my wayward sister were still around, she’d probably be about her age.”
Shen Roujia didn’t pry into their past, knowing that every well-known figure in the martial world had their own story.
Understanding this, Shen Roujia tactfully avoided asking further questions. She took on the alias Wei Jiaojiao, and after three days of travel, they finally felt safe enough to stop at a small town and rest.
