To avoid being caught by Baizhan Yusheng who might still be outside the cave's entrance, Lin Jie tore the returning scroll within the cave and returned to City of Light from his spot. When he entered the town, he saw numerous guards patrolling the streets with stern expressions on their faces.
Lin Jie pulled aside one guard and asked, "What happened?"
The guard was about to flare up at Lin Jie when he saw Lin Jie's Viscount status and Captain's title. He immediately bowed down and replied respectfully, "My Lord, the criminal Baili Xuanyuan escaped prison. We are in the midst of arresting him."
Lin Jie was shocked. "Jailbreak?"
"Ye… Yes," As if feeling embarrassed, the guard hurriedly took leave after answering Lin Jie's question.
Lin Jie felt rather dumbfounded. 'This fellow's quite something to be able to escape from the City of Light's jail!'
