Shan Daoyu's battle with his foe ended swiftly. Upon discovering Shan Daoyu was a sword cultivator, after a few exchanges, his opponent performed a flashy but ineffectual maneuver and hurriedly fled.
Shan Daoyu clearly lacked experience in serious combat and never anticipated this outcome, allowing his adversary to escape.
"Fellow Daoist, with more experience, you'll get used to it. No worries, let him run. Next time you see him, just kill him,"
Yu Ziqing offered what looked like consolation, while casually pointing out the three experts from the Shadow Department to Shan Daoyu.
"See them? These people from the Shadow Department are very familiar with such matters."
"If we do nothing, they'll likely struggle to make it back alive. Escort them back."
"Have them teach you about matters outside the sect so you won't get tricked by others,"
Yu Ziqing would certainly not accompany Shan Daoyu to the Dali Capital.
