Ning Qi, disguised, infiltrated a pawnshop to confront and kill its owner, who was involved in a failed mission. He then boarded a giant wheel ship and disembarked at Yun City. Noticing the city guards, Ning Qi decided to sneak in by blending with a caravan, only to discover Princess Xiangxiang's troop, whose commander gratefully offered him passage into the city.

"Ning Qi!"

Princess Xiangxiang was the first to notice Ning Qi’s return.

Her eyes were filled with surprise.

"Princess, long time no see!"

Ning Qi looked at Princess Xiangxiang with a smile, "It seems we truly have destiny in common!"

"Yes, last time you left in such a hurry that we didn’t get a chance to thank you!"

Princess Xiangxiang smiled upon hearing Ning Qi’s words, "The misunderstanding before was my fault, I’ve always wanted to apologize to you!"

"Unfortunately, you didn’t give me the chance."

"I thought I would never have the opportunity in this lifetime, but I didn’t expect to meet you here."

"Oh? You still want to apologize to me?"

Ning Qi smiled upon hearing her words, "But you weren’t wrong either."

"Before, we were indeed using each other. If I hadn’t planned to use you all..."

"We wouldn’t have had any interactions."

"You can’t say that; you are our benefactor."

"If I weren’t so willful, you wouldn’t have walked away."

"Perhaps our people... wouldn’t have died so many."

Princess Xiangxiang showed a trace of sadness and continued, "You made me see myself clearly."

"You made me understand my willfulness has hurt too many people!"

"Oh? So I inadvertently taught you a lesson."

Ning Qi said with a smile after she finished speaking.

"Yes, you’re right!"

Princess Xiangxiang nodded slightly, showing a determined look, "You made me see myself clearly, so I’m ready to face everything bravely!"

"That’s good!"

"If you’ve gained something, then our meeting wasn’t in vain!"

Ning Qi listened to her words.

Knowing that this princess had thoroughly changed.

She apparently saw through many things after experiencing a life-and-death situation.

And the instigator of this matter was Ning Qi.

"Speaking of which, we really do have destiny in common!"

Princess Xiangxiang glanced at Ning Qi and pointed to the gigantic ship behind her, "I never expected that we would come here on the same ship."

"Yes, indeed!"

Ning Qi nodded and looked back as well, "Are you heading to Yun City?"

"No, this is my last stop on the way!"

"My next stop is the Imperial City of Yue Country!"

Princess Xiangxiang shook her head and continued, "This time when I go back, I want those who wish I’d never return to know that I am back!"

"And I am back in full triumph."

"Oh? Then I’m bringing back one of their enemies."

Ning Qi chuckled upon hearing her words.

"You could say so!"

Princess Xiangxiang nodded, looking at Ning Qi, "Since we have destiny in common... Could you help me one last time?"

"Sure."

Ning Qi readily agreed.

"Master, aren’t we supposed to look for Miss Xu? Why are we helping them?"

Medicine Spirit was puzzled after hearing Ning Qi’s words.

Isn’t this a waste of time?

"We share a destiny with them."

"Since that’s the case, let’s help her to the end."

Ning Qi smiled and continued, "Besides, we still need their help to enter the city!"

"You could say we’re using them again. You have to know, if anyone finds out we killed the Young City Lord!"

"Who would dare lead us into the city? We have once again deceived them, putting them in danger."

"So what reason do we have not to help them?"

"Master, you make some sense!"

Medicine Spirit nodded after hearing his words, "With our current strength, helping her is a trivial matter."

"Miss, we are about to set off!"

At this moment, the commander came over and said.

Evidently, they had just been gathering.

After the last battle, their numbers were greatly reduced.

The additional people here obviously came as reinforcements later.

"Alright! Let’s go!"

Princess Xiangxiang agreed and returned to her carriage.

She got into the carriage right away, "Ning Qi, you should come up too!"

"Alright, I’ll drive the carriage for you one more time!"

This time, Ning Qi didn’t refuse and gladly agreed.

"No need, I have a coachman now!"

Princess Xiangxiang shook her head lightly with a smile.

"Is that so? But I need something to do!"

"Let me drive the carriage!"

Without waiting for a response, Ning Qi got on the carriage.

He took the reins from the coachman, "You can go, leave the rest to me."

"Yes, benefactor!"

The coachman, who was also a former guard, responded and quickly left.

With his departure, the convoy set off once more.

As the convoy moved out again, Ning Qi whipped the horses and started the journey.

They quickly reached the city gate.

Once they arrived, the commander displayed their badges to the guards.

Along with an accompanying letter of order.

The guards then allowed them to pass.

Without any obstruction.

Ning Qi followed the convoy, driving the carriage into the mix.

As he passed by the guards, he deliberately kept his head down.

But the guards paid no attention to his every move.

He thus successfully followed the convoy into Yun City.

Upon entering the city, Ning Qi felt the strength of Yun City.

Far more prosperous compared to any cities visited before.

Even the guards here patrolled regularly.

To prevent any unexpected incidents.

The street vendors loudly hawked their wares.

Many people kept in line.

"This city was once a small town."

"Because the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is nearby, it gradually developed and grew!"
