Wu Yun is so overcome with joy at being held safely in Lan Tian's arms that it takes him a moment to notice a different commotion among the crowd.
The same people who moments ago were ready to see him die, are now prostrating themselves at his feet. No, not his feet, Lan Tian's and the mysterious woman he brought with him.
Lan Tian casts an indifferent eye towards them, while the woman looks stilted and awkward at his side. Only now is Wu Yun noticing that she's wearing Lan Tian's inner robes.
Wu Yun could laugh. After he went through hell, now the same people who wanted to kill him are kneeling in front of him. He's afraid if he starts laughing, the peals of laughter will turn into strings of tears.
Lan Tian notices the conflicting emotions twisting his features, and says, "Let's get out of here."
When he descends the platform with Wu Yun still in his arms, people try to stop him. They hang on to his robes as if he is something holy.
