After receiving the letter, Chen Changsheng said a few things to Jin Yulu and Xiaode, and then left on the White Crane.
Jin Yulu and Xiaode glanced at each other with doubt and unease evident on their faces.
Before leaving, Chen Changsheng explained that he had something to do and that he would return after finishing it. Finally, he added that he hoped he would not have to finish this matter.
This was a very strange and incomprehensible set of words. Just what had happened that was more important than helping the White Emperor escape his imprisonment?

Xu Yourong had been standing here for some time now. She saw Chen Changsheng follow Jin Yulu and Xiaode into the black cliff, saw the White Crane arrive, and saw Chen Changsheng leave.
She had an inkling of what had happened in White Emperor City, which had also affected her mood somewhat.
