Seeing her look over, he smiled and shouted, “Guild Master Huang?”
Lin Feilu, “…”
She was going to cry.
After returning to the carriage, Lin Feilu stopped talking as she sulked with her hands buried in her hair.

Lin Feilu covered her face with her hands and said, “No need to console me, I already understand that TV shows are all made up of falsifications and lies.”
The carriage continued its journey until evening as it came to a small town where they could rest. At this time, the land was a far cry from the prosperity of the capital and there were a bunch of merchants all around. Lin Feilu no longer had any expectations to meet any martial artists from the TV dramas she watched, but when they were eating, she heard two merchants at the adjacent table talking about the recent major events in Jinling City.
“There are a lot of people in Jinling now. If we go there to set up a stall, we will definitely make a lot of money!”
“Although there are many people, it is also dangerous. I heard that there are a lot of people from both black and white(1) who are going there. It’s too chaotic.”
(T/N: Black and white refers to the illegal sites, like the black market, and white refers to the official sites like the highly known clans)
“It’s their problem whatever the wealthy encounter! Besides, they are all just rushing to get the Lu family’s sword manual, so what does it have to do with us? Let’s just sell our stuff!”
Lin Feilu’s dejected expression suddenly regained its radiance.
Lin Ting knew what she meant at first sight, “Do you want to go?”
She nodded frantically.
Lin Ting smiled and said, “Let’s go tomorrow then.”
Early the next morning, the four of them set off for Jinling City. Lin Feilu and Lin Ting lived in the palace for a long time, so they knew very little about the affairs of the townsfolk.

The carriage travelled for two days, and on the third day, they had to travel by water.
The Wushuang Brothers went to exchange their carriage for some silver, and then, the four of them went to the riverbank to board the boat.
While they were going over, a boat happened to be parked by the riverbank. A woman wearing a bamboo hat and a mink robe was on it and she greeted them, “Crossing the river?”
Lin Feilu said, “We are going downstream, around the Anchun Region.”
The boat lady said, “Okay, it’ll be a tael of silver, so get on the boat.”
Lin Feilu happily said to Lin Ting, “It’s quite cheap.”
The boat was neither big nor small, and it was just right for the four of them to sit there. Lin Feilu laid on the side of the boat and admired the scenery of the river for a while. When she turned his head, she saw a white egret with slender wings perched on the roof of the boat. Before she could take a closer look, she saw that the boat lady had stretched out her hand. She didn’t know what she threw out, but the egret immediately fell down.
