Fan Wu, breaking precedent, had stayed in Helin County for an extra two days. He watched as Liu Feng and the beautiful woman busily arranged Liu Weng's funeral. He also witnessed how the local Magistrate, upon learning of the Holy Fire Guard's assassination, didn't dare utter a word, displaying an obvious sense of stifling frustration.
By the time they left the county town, it was already two days later. The journey thereafter went rather smoothly; they passed through two or three county towns without encountering any strange incidents.
Truth be told… Fan Wu didn't actually like it when things went too smoothly, even though power could bring a level of ease he had never known before.
But… it also caused him to miss out on opportunities to gain Free Attribute Points.
It was not until Fan Wu arrived at a county town on the border of Guang'an Province and the neighboring province that this easy journey finally encountered some slight ripples.
