Xuanjiu City was still thousands of miles away from Bianliang City, but upon leaving the Hexi Corridor, it was like entering another world.
When Xie Tian saw the towering city walls of Xuanjiu City, ten zhang high, he couldn't help but think of the short and unseemly walls of Yangshuo City. He silently calculated that even with the use of Crane Dance Nine Heavens, he could not scale these walls.
Once inside the city, he was struck by its bustling prosperity. Pedestrians shoulder to shoulder, vendors calling out loudly—it was a stark contrast to the Hexi Corridor, where disagreements might swiftly escalate to sword fights. Indeed, Xuanjiu City was far more civilized.
Whether intentionally or not, whether Xie Tian was drawn in by the bustling scene or simply wished to walk alone, he slowly drifted away from the unassuming carriage. Though he occasionally caught glimpses of Yin Tian'er looking anxiously from the carriage window, searching for him, he remained indifferent.
