January 23rd.
The Flying Shuttle arrived at Wu Zhou, and Lu Bei said goodbye to everyone at the West King Mansion.
Initially, the plan was for the Flying Shuttle to travel directly to Wu Zhou's Imperial Capital. Lu Bei, as the top-ranking participant of the grand meeting, was supposed to be received by retired emperors from the Zhu Family, dine and drink, meet the elders and spend the new year at the imperial city.
However, plans changed rapidly. She Huan finished her retreat and was sick of being confined in her small dark room. Lu Bei was eager to take her back to the Three Pure Peaks and had no intention to entertain the emperors from the Zhu Family.
Using his busy schedule as the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect as an excuse, he bid farewell to Zhu Qilan first, promising to arrive at the imperial city before the New Year.
