Mu Qiu had already dashed to the fork in the road up ahead, still able to hear Guan Yu's laughter trailing behind.
Who knows what she's laughing about on her own.
At the fork, the leading Shu Ran, Li Yang, and Shi Yuhuai went in different directions.
Mu Qiu looked left and right at the intersection, and before Guan Yu could catch up, she casually picked an alley to walk into.
This alley was long, with entrances of ancient homes on either side, some with courtyards where lush date trees could be seen.
The deeper she walked, the wider the alley became, revealing a broad, smooth road lying horizontally at the end.
The Ancient City really was big; to walk through it entirely would likely take most of a day, even at a brisk pace.
She was just about to cross the alley into the path ahead when a door beside her suddenly opened.
The grating creak was slow and heavy, instantly conjuring thoughts of just how old this door must be.
