Deep into the night.
In a nameless mountain ravine.
A small campfire was within a small cave, the flickering lights reflected two long shadows against the walls of the cave.
One of them was covered entirely in black, only revealing two eyes; that person spoke after a long silence: “What are your plans next?”
The other person was a plain-looking girl in plain clothes, the type of girl that would be lost when thrown into a crowd, the light of the campfire caused shadows to cover her face: “I finally managed to escape the Holy Court and is now wanted everywhere, where else can I go? There are still people on hot pursuit, I have nowhere else to go…”
As she spoke, the light in her eyes shined, it was Bai Li Zi Xi.
The man in black was silent for a moment before he clumsily consoled: “I believe you! Don’t worry Zi Xi, I will protect you!”
“Thank you, Brother Jun. You are the only one I can rely on now.” Although she no longer possessed the beauty from before, her tears and pitiful look still make pained others when they looked.
The anguish in the man in black’s eyes nearly overflowed, he hesitated for a moment before stretching his hand to hug Bai Li Zi Xi, patting her shoulders to quietly console her.
Bai Li Zi Xi buried her face in the man’s chest before revealing a vicious smile, Holy Court! Ji Mo Clan! Bai Li Clan! She would not allow any of them off!
The two only hugged for a moment before the man in black pushed Bai Li Zi Xi away, alert, and quickly, he extinguished the campfire, “Run quick. The pursuers are here again!”
He quickly pulled Bai Li Zi Xi and dived into the darkness.
After a short moment, a group of well-trained soldiers arrived, one of them touched that ashes of the campfire before he coldly said: “It is still warm, they should not have run far, chase after them!”
The group disappeared into the night.

After dealing with the matters in the clan, Ji Mo Ya impatiently rushed to the Bai Li Clan.
Over the past few days, he had obtained countless information that many young elites had visited the Bai Li Clan to seek Little Yan’s hand in marriage.
His heart was yearning to rush over for a long time.
He did not want to remain in the clan any longer when all matters have been dealt with.
He forcefully reduced the half a month journey to only ten days.
The windswept Ji Mo Ya arrived at the gates of the Bai Li Clan seeking an audience but he was rejected by Bai Li Ren.
Ji Mo Ya had expected this would happen, that was also why he wanted to remain inside the Bai Li Clan as it would be hard to enter again if he left.
Therefore, Ji Mo Ya got someone to purchase a house near the Bai Li Clan; the house has been cleaned and prepared for his arrival.
After running into the wall at the Bai Li Clan, Ji Mo Ya brought the Ink Guards and moved into the house. Every day, the Ink Guards would head out to find out who were the families that had made marriage proposals.
After identifying them, they would use threats or benefits to make these people back away. Although they knew that marrying Bai Li Qing Yan will be very beneficial to their respective clans, they need to be alive to enjoy the benefits first, right?
Those who clearly knew that their status was lacking would discreetly give up.
Only those from relatively powerful clans, who thought highly of themselves, the Ink Guards would either knocked these people unconscious and throw them somewhere far away or be invited to see Ji Mo Ya.
A smiling Ji Mo Ya would embarrass them from their body to their mind until they lost all sense of prestige before they walked away, defeated.
After a few days of effort, it greatly reduced Bai Li Ren’s workload and he no longer required to handle twenty visits a day.
Of course, Ji Mo Ya did not hide his actions throughout the entire duration, so the Bai Li Clan naturally knew what he had done.
The people of the Bai Li Clan would angrily visit Bai Li Ren to ask if they should chase away Ji Mo Ya, else no one would dare to offer a marriage proposal in the future.
This was too much, already Little Yan did not want him, but he still oppressively prevented all others from trying to marry Little Yan!
