The carriage skirted the edges of the forest. Thick puffs of cloudy breath emerged from the nostrils of horses in rhythmic bursts in the snow.
Meng Qi knocked on the door of the carriage and said in a hushed voice, "We'll abandon the carriage and enter the forest."
He had recovered in the strength he lost in using the Heavenly Fairy technique with his sword. He estimated that Master Xiyue would arrive sometime soon. The continued use of the carriage would allow their enemies to easily track them. The trail left behind by the carriage was as clear as the bright sun hanging over their heads. Moreover, it would be effortless for one with Exterior Scenery skills to catch up to the horses. It would be prudent to discard the carriage and slip inside the snowy forest on foot.
Having gained a clear understanding of the skills of an Exterior expert from Huangfu Tao, Madam and Miss Huangfu had no problems with his idea.
