Xi Zijin departed without a sound. Her leaving truly mirrored her feelings for Lin Yun—understated, without any earth-shattering drama. Perhaps that was just the kind of person Xi Zijin was; even her farewells were silent and unnoticed.
After Xi Zijin's group left, Lin Yun and the others also prepared to return to Flawless Palace. Luo Feng and his men did not travel with Lin Yun's party; taking the members of Flawless Palace with them, they headed back first. As for Lin Yun's group, they needed to make a trip to the Yanhuang Capital.
Luo Feng's group intentionally left a Firebird for Lin Yun's party before they departed. Lin Yun, Qin Feng, Qingfeng Saint, Flowing Water Saint, and the Monk and Daoist would travel with Lin Yun. Li Tian, however, did not return to the Yanhuang Capital with them. Instead, he accompanied Luo Feng's group back to Flawless Palace. Lin Yun had instructed him to return ahead of them and keep a close eye on the Qing Zhu Association's activities.
