Leaving the Main Hall, Xiao Yi headed outside the Royal Capital.
Finding a secluded spot in the outskirts, he finally took off his mask and changed his clothes.
Then, in his true identity as Xiao Yi, he returned to the Royal Capital.
Xiao Yi did not plan to head to Medicine King Valley immediately; instead, he intended to visit the Sect first.
He would claim his reward for the Deputy Commander assessment, and then it wouldn't be too late to find Elder Mu in Medicine King Valley.
After all, Elder Mu had been looking for him for so long, a day or half a day longer wouldn't matter.
Afterwards, once the affairs in Medicine King Valley were settled, he would leave to continue his cultivation.
Several hours later, Xiao Yi returned to the Sect.
At the gate, the two guarding Deacons were visibly startled upon seeing Xiao Yi.
"Northern Mountain Sword Master Xiao Yi? How have you returned?" the two guarding Deacons asked in confusion.
