Zhang Xiaohua and Dream rode their horses at a fast pace, eager to explore the outside world. If it were not for Zhang Xiaohua's strict bedtime routine, they would have been traveling day and night. Yet even so, it only took them a few days to arrive at Jinghai Lake.
Before they even reached Jinghai Lake, they encountered more Wu Ming Hall Disciples patrolling the mountain paths. Fortunately, Dream was dressed in palace attire with a veil covering her face, so the Wu Ming Hall Disciples recognized her as an Inner Disciple and treated her with respect. Zhang Xiaohua also benefited from this, facing less scrutiny and questioning.
As they approached the mountains near Jinghai Lake, they were stopped by a group of disciples who respectfully asked, "May we know where Senior Sister... and Senior Brother are heading to?"
