Hou Niao waited in Liuyang for three days, and once those three days had passed, he simply turned and left.
In his view, this meant that Chong Ling did not wish to meet him yet, so of course he would not insist; with his current status in the Quanzhen Sect, there truly was no need for such a meeting.
He rode his horse out of the city, and contrary to his expectations, he felt no sense of leaving home behind. Was he not familiar with Liuyang, having no friends or family there? Or was it that leaving Anhe Country just didn't stir any emotions within him?
As an undercover agent, he had successfully cultivated a detached attitude, treating Shan Country as his home. A cultivator wandering the jianghu didn't usually harbor a strong sense of hometown attachment.
Home is where the heart is at ease.
