Ye Tian stepped outside the inn and paused for a moment, letting the cool night air wash over him.
The moon hung high in the sky, casting a pale silver glow over the land.
As he took in the serene beauty of the night, his mind was already weighing his options.
Two choices lay before him.
To the north stood the towering gates of the kingdom, where countless opportunities for information, resources, and perhaps some chaos awaited.
To the south stretched the dense, shadowy expanse of the forest, its treetops swaying gently under the light breeze.
After a brief moment of thought, he chuckled softly.
"Why not both?" he muttered to himself.
But before delving into the chaos of the kingdom, there was something he wanted to test... a thought that lingered in the back of his mind, sparking curiosity.
With a shrug, he turned and began walking toward the forest, the faint rustle of leaves beckoning him like a siren's call.
