"Alright!" Miao Yi agreed, feeling that there was something odd going on with Yan Beihong. Turning his dragon steed around, he followed behind Yan Beihong to his patrol duty.
The duo then made their way to the peak of the tallest mountain in the area. It was a suitable place to have a secret conversation as they would be able to see if anyone approached.
Under a great pine tree, Yan Beihong stripped himself of his armor, revealing a long dark red cape on his back. He then dismounted from his dragon steed and stood motionlessly by the side of the tree. With his untied hair swaying with the wind and a shaggy beard hanging over his face, he cast a deep, pondering gaze over the distant ocean.
