With Han Yu leading the way and having already arranged a retreat route and backups, the group managed to withdraw smoothly. Despite encountering small groups of pursuers, simply killing them off didn't take too much effort. So far, everything has been safe; even afterwards, the escape could almost be considered extremely smooth, without any pursuers or obstacles, quickly reaching a safe place.
Perhaps because of this, everyone relaxed their vigilance somewhat, yet Han Yu could sense a calm before the storm in the atmosphere. However, he kept these thoughts to himself, not voicing any warnings, but discreetly making all necessary preparations. He needed this opportunity to gain Liu Xiu's complete trust, rather than remaining an option, a trust that could waver in the face of crisis and certain events. After this, he would use this unwavering trust to occupy the most important and reliable position at Liu Xiu's side.
