As Ye Zhen galloped on the ancient dirt road leading to Gold City County Town, he wished he had wings to fly straight home. However, when the blue-stone walls of Gold City County appeared in sight, Ye Zhen unconsciously slowed his horse, feeling a hint of trepidation as he neared his hometown.
Counting the days he was delayed on the road the year before, Ye Zhen had been away from home for almost two years, and he had no idea how things were at home now.
Although his parents had visited him at Qiyun Sect six months ago and seemed to be doing well, Ye Zhen knew they always showed him their best side. If there were any difficulties or hurdles, they certainly would not tell him.
The moment he rode fiercely into the city, a city guard tried to stop him. Ye Zhen nonchalantly flung a piece of silver into the guard's chest. Yet, Ye Zhen's arrogant demeanor deeply annoyed the guard, who opened his mouth to curse.
