As the assassin Shadow followed Xiao Yu outside the Canyon, Xiao Yu listened to Xiao Muyan's intermittent screams, his eyes lighting up with a glint of something akin to brightness.
During the day, Shadow had been tracking Xiao Muyan, his superior martial arts ensuring that the unskilled Xiao Muyan could not detect him. He reported every detail of Xiao Muyan's movements to Xiao Yu, "Master, Xiao Muyan searched the Canyon today but was unable to find any food; he only ate a blade of grass and two withered roots, and he didn't even have a drop of water."
Xiao Yu held the family seal in his hand, his expression cold, and responded indifferently, "Hmm."
By the time Xiao Muyan had cried out until dawn, it had already been her fifth day trapped in the One-Line Sky Canyon.
On the fifth morning, the golden sunlight, brimming with vitality, spilled in, always bringing hope, making one feel that this world was still worth clinging to and living for.
