In the vast northwest of the continent lies a place where mountains coexist with grasslands. Within the same country, there are sprawling mountain ranges and expansive plains. Tianluo Kingdom undoubtedly stands as one of these exemplary nations.

However, the capital of Tianluo Kingdom is built in a strategically accessible location. Not far from the capital, there are small undulating mountains that, after centuries of expansion, have gradually formed the current network of interconnected paths.

After a month-long journey, Zhou Yi and his companions finally arrived beneath the towering walls of this vital city within Tianluo Kingdom. As Zhou Yi stepped out of the carriage and gazed upon the imposing city walls, a wave of emotions surged within him.

If someone had told him three years ago that during this time, such tremendous changes would occur, even to the extent of the Tianluo royal family extending a respectful invitation, he would have never believed it. Yet, everything that had transpired in these three years had propelled him to heights unimaginable in the past.

Suddenly, an intense desire to see Shui Xuanjin as soon as possible welled up in his heart.

"Mr. Xue," Zhou Yi called out loudly.

Xue Lie, who was at the forefront of the group, immediately rushed over as if flying and exclaimed, "Master Zhou, what are your orders?"

"I wish to see Master Shui," Zhou Yi declared.

Xue Lie was taken aback. Wasn't Zhou Yi's trip to the capital precisely for this purpose?

He respectfully bowed while on horseback and replied, "Rest assured, Master Zhou. We will enter the city and spend a day in the royal estate. Tomorrow morning..."

"I wish to see Master Shui right away," Zhou Yi interrupted him calmly.

A hint of hesitation appeared on Xue Lie's face. Did Master Zhou have some unknown reason for wanting to meet his teacher so urgently?

Zhou Yi glanced at him, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "So, Mr. Xue, are you reluctant to introduce me then?"

Xue Lie clenched his teeth and replied, "Since Master Zhou is insistent, Xue will comply."

At that moment, Yu Xiaoyi was also alerted and had arrived before them. Upon hearing Zhou Yi's request, he couldn't help but smile wryly. He had long known that these innate powerhouses were all unreasonable individuals. Initially, he thought Zhou Yi was an exception, but now it seemed that he was only better at concealing it.

He exchanged a glance with Xue Lie and said, "Master Zhou, if you wish to see Master Shui sooner, then allow Mr. Xue to accompany you. As for Mr. Zhou Quanxin and the others, let me take care of them, how about that?"

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, shifting his gaze to Xue Lie.

With a touch of helplessness, Xue Lie left the caravan and rode toward the city gate. Zhou Yi whistled, and the fiery-red stallion immediately emerged from the procession. With a graceful leap, Zhou Yi landed perfectly on its back.

Without any urging, the fiery-red stallion closely followed behind Xue Lie's horse, setting off toward the inner city gate.

The longer Zhou Yi spent with the Hongling stallion, the more he grew fond of it. The horse was exceptionally intelligent, almost bordering on being telepathic, and their synergy became increasingly seamless.

However, the more Zhou Yi experienced this, the more grateful he felt towards Luo Xin. The gift of the horse was something he vowed to repay when the opportunity arose.
