Chen Qing Xu waved her hands, then took a look at his face. Even though he was young and strong, and he would be alright even if he missed one night of sleep, the traces could still be seen on his face.

Chen Qing Xu: "Why, was the tranquilizer not effective?"

Chang Geng smiled bitterly: "It is my own problem."

Chen Qing Xu pondered about it: "I always told you to stay calm, but the truth is, I don't know what it is in your heart that cannot be calm. Perhaps it is better said than done — people cannot avoid having emotions and desire. If you can't restrain yourself, it is better to let it go naturally with the flow."

Chang Geng was startled, involuntarily pouted, thinking to himself: "How could this matter 'go with the flow'?"

After leaving behind the sentence 'go naturally with the flow’, she immediately went on her way, leaving Chang Geng in a state of perplexity for the entire day.

Gu Yun stayed in the small inn for two more days. Sun Jiao wanted to move quickly. But as he remembered the days of rocky roads and the speed as fast as flying causing one's intestines to flip upside down, he did not dare to open his mouth to urge them.

Unexpectedly, as they continued to be on the move again, Gu Yun had changed from the life-risking speed from before, with the Fourth Prince as a new addition to their group who glued himself to Marshal Gu all day — they moved as relaxed as strolling in springtime scenery. Occasionally, they would even join in with groups of merchants returning from the North.

In the Southern Frontier, the people were naturally born tough and strong, the bandits were rampaging. Officer Sun's mission to 'appease the subject' was, in reality, simply an excuse. He intended to use the might of the Marquis of Order to grasp hold of evidence of Fu Zhi Cheng - although being an officer of the imperial court yet colluding with the mountain bandits - to use the Southern Frontier as a breakthrough to call forth the very first Drumming Order.

But since their arrival in Sichuan, Gu Yun had made various delays to the journey. From Sichuan to the border were Fu Zhi Cheng's territories. The snakehead may have already been aware of their whereabouts, how were they supposed to catch him off guard?

This time, Master Sun no longer felt nauseous, but instead felt so anxious that his blood was bubbling inside.

Shen Yi quietly said to Gu Yun: "Offending the righteous but cannot offend the mischievous, you messed with him enough already. Be careful or else he will paint you in a bad light upon returning to the imperial court."

Gu Yun smiled.

Seeing this indifferent smile, he could not help but want to break out in a long speech, but unexpectedly, Gu Yun whispered: "Neither the righteous nor the mischievous are the problem."
