The two, Zhou Jue and Ji Ziyan, felt they couldn't be of much help, so they agreed, and everyone had a barbecue in the wilderness before splitting ways.
Watching Zhou Jue and Ji Ziyan lean on each other as they left, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. Zhou Jue was fortunate, as he at least encountered Ji Ziyan, and this encounter changed him completely.
Ji Ziyan was also lucky. After the death of his beloved wife, he never felt any attachment, but then he met Zhou Jue who resembled her, and eventually accepted Zhou Jue's gender.
Bai Ruozhu somewhat envied them. She wished to grow old with Achun. Would heaven give them such a chance?
The group continued onward, and after a few more days, still no pursuers appeared, making Bai Ruozhu think the calm was remarkable.
