Several days later.
On a road overgrown with wild grass.
Descending the mountain is easier than climbing it. Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue traveled without obstacles. After leaving Cangwu Peak, they walked southwest for a while. Occasionally, they rode in horse-drawn carts, but mostly they took land routes. Upon arriving in Han City, they boarded a boat to sail south along the Yellow River, which would eventually take them into Hu-Guang.
The sun hung low in the sky, and before they realized it, it was already New Year's Eve. Having continually traveled, Yin Tingxue did not feel any of the holiday spirit. She only found that today's sunlight seemed warmer than before.
In their rush to head south, they had no time to celebrate the New Year.
