Liu Xiaochen and Wang Jingyuan covered a lot of distance on the road. When she was heading towards the Capital alone, Wang Jingyuan walked, and she didn't walk exceptionally fast. Then she met Mo Xian, and although they also rode a horse, they often let the horse go at a trot so the wind wasn't in their faces and they could still talk and enjoy the passing scenery. If they passed particularly interesting towns, they would stop and dawdle in it for a day before continuing. That was why it took two months for Wang Jingyuan to make it to the Capital.
Traveling with Liu Xiaochen was different. He was a man of action, not of words, and he wanted to return to Xuanyan Sect as soon as possible. Often, they rose at the crack of dawn and travelled until night fell. The horse was indeed a good one, galloping swiftly for miles on end without having to stop. After a week, they were already halfway there.
