The sun peeked through the darkness at dawn the next day
Inside a dark cave on the outskirts of Sunset City, Lin Qing Yi sat cross-legged with her eyes shut She breathed gently, her wounds healing with each steady breath

The Third Prince was the favorite to become the Crown Prince His forces idespread Countless assassins would beXian
He had to contemplate whether it would be wise to journey to the capital city and seek transport to the Wan Jian House
Mo Yi opened her eyes and exhaled softly Her body had half recovered But she was far from a full recovery
She had been pursued for days Her injuries were extensive
”You’re awake”

This was by no means an extended period in the lifeti Xian, his life had been turned upside down
He had grown from a useless mortal to a Heaven’s Favorite
