Upon seeing the token, Xiang Liang immediately relaxes. As a Prison Warden, he is naturally familiar with travel documents. Additionally, Chu Dongning’s adept movements suggest he has likely been interrogated at Dragon River and Jinbi checkpoints already.

Still, Xiang Liang reads through the accompanying document and carefully compares the appearances of the six. Only after confirming everything does he ask, “One of your companions is a young woman. Why isn’t she here?”

Chu Dongning immediately replies with a cupped-hands smile, “My daughter has low cultivation and was too exhausted by the journey. She stayed in the room to rest. If you don’t believe me, I can have her come down…”

As he speaks, he turns as if to send for her.

“No need. If she’s tired, let her rest well! My apologies for the intrusion, as it’s part of my duty.”

“You’re too kind, sir, but I dare not say that!”

Chu Dongning’s exaggerated reaction is clearly staged. Considering he may have already been questioned by other wardens at previous points, Xiang Liang thinks little of it and bids farewell with a smile.

Returning to his table, Xiang Liang finds Bai Shanning and the others looking at him. Without hesitation, he explains, “They are from an Outer Realm village-level camp, visiting Xia City to sightsee, just like us. They’ve traveled from Hongmen City and have a travel document signed by Lord Lin Kai. Everything checks out fine.”
