Chapter 54: Intercept and Kill

Three days passed in a flash.

Outside Old Xu's gate, Shitou and Old Wang were carrying their bundles, saying their final goodbyes.

"Old Mr. Xu, we are leaving," Shitou said.

"Be careful... on the road." Old Xu felt a bit reluctant to part, but he was mostly happy for them.

"Got it." Shitou waved her hand, then hurried toward the city gate with Old Wang.

Old Xu stood where he was, watching from afar. Even after their figures completely disappeared, he still didn't want to go back inside.

A moment later, on the official road.

"It's been two years... We've walked thousands of miles, and now we can finally go home." Shitou strode forward, her face still carrying the excitement of going home soon.

"Indeed, we can finally go back. I reckon those girls in the Southern Border Estate must be missing you dearly, Commandery Princess," Old Wang echoed from the side.
