"Yes! Thank you, General Shangguan!"
With that, Feng Qing Lan was able to follow Shangguan Xiao back to their border. They did meet with the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom who came to chase them, but their number was small and Shangguan Xiao was able to deal with them with ease.
So, their journey was relatively smooth.
With Feng Qing Lan's help, the soldiers under Shangguan Xiao was able to recover much faster and those with light injury had already returned to the army to do their duties. Those with relatively heavier injuries would still need to rest, though.
"There's a city nearby, do you want to go there?" Shangguan Xiao asked when Feng Qing Lan said that he would separate from them now.
"Ah, no." Feng Qing Lan shook his head. "It would be better for me not to enter the cities around here."
"Why?"
"Well, because…"
"THERE HE IS!"
