Grandma said that the inspection at the gate was still the same as usual, there hadn't been any changes to the procedure, so slipping out of the city should be possible.
Su Yan decided to take a bold risk, hoping she might actually be able to sneak out.
Indeed, the checks were not strict.
They simply asked a few questions before letting people pass.
Stepping out of Linglan City, the tension Su Yan had felt for several days suddenly eased.
Looking back at Linglan City with reluctance, she whispered in her heart, "Goodbye..."
Goodbye, Chu Yuxiao...
I wonder if we will ever meet again in this lifetime...
...
Walking alone, Su Yan traveled for a long time and, by the shaded boulevard, she came across a tea stall.
Feeling a bit hungry and thirsty by then, she approached and ordered a bowl of tea, some porridge, and a few steamed buns.
As she was eating, a carriage approached from the direction of Linglan City.
It looked like it too had come from within the city walls.
