After another whole day, Bai Yunfei eventually walked out of this dense forest. When he saw a hamlet located not far outside the forest, he almost burst into tears out of happiness: “I can finally ask someone for directions…”
Because Bai Yunfei really needed to have a good rest, he stayed for a night in this village. Villagers always made Bai Yunfei feel warm inside. They enthusiastically received this stranger who had suddenly appeared in this remote hamlet. After knowing that he was injured, they even specifically prepared a large bowl of medicine for him to drink…
In the early morning of the next day, Bai Yunfei bid farewell to these guileless villagers in high spirits and headed in the direction where according to the villagers a town was located.
Three days later, after going through another grove, Bai Yunfei saw a large road in front of him with quite a few people going on it. Among them, there were even several groups of people looking like trade caravans or escort agencies who were moving slowly carrying a lot of things.
“This should be a main road. If I go down this road, I should be able to reach a large city…” Looking at the coming and going passersby, Bai Yunfei was a bit hesitant, “There are all kinds of people in a large city. I don’t know whether the Zhang family’s influence exist in this place as well. If I’m spotted again…”
After pondering with his head lowered for a while, he shook his head in self-derision again, saying to himself: “If I fret about everything, then I won’t need to get out of this Qingyun Province either. Not even Zhang Zhenshan was able to catch me, even if I run into his subordinates, I’ll just kill my way out!
“Plus, last time was merely a freak occurrence. I can’t be so unlucky every time, right?” Lifting his head, Bai Yunfei looked at a trade caravan of about ten people which was going slowly on the road and said to himself with a mental nod: “Yeah, let’s blend in with that trade caravan. After getting into the city, I’ll buy all the stuff I need and rest well for a night. Then I’ll leave right away! Right, I must buy a detailed map. With it, later I won’t get lost all the time…”
Having made up his mind, Bai Yunfei walked towards that trade caravan. Those people were very easygoing. After a simple exchange, they agreed to let this ordinary-looking youngster join their trade caravan. Bai Yunfei asked for a straw hat then put in on his head. Helping push those goods with his head lowered, he went forwards slowly…
In the afternoon, this group of people reached a tall city gate. Hiding among the group, Bai Yunfei slowly entered the city.
Before entering the city, he raised his head taking a look at those two large words on the lofty gate — Baifeing City.
However, Bai Yunfei did not know that this city was where the primary force of the Glacial School was located.
And the headquarters of that school was at the base of Mt. Baifeng, which was just a two day trip from this city!
