Zuo Wentang went on to arrange for Qu Wenji and Tilly's accomodation. As a man of significant experience, he knew that Maple City was far too dangerous to return to, and to do so would be downright inappropriate. Still, they couldn't go too far either.
Fortunately, Zuo Wentang had secretly been purchasing real estate over the years in a number of villages near the city's borders. His operation was done so discreetly that no one other than Zuo Wentang knew of it.
As they were pressed for time, Zuo Wentang made haste as dragging this on would draw suspicion.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin wasn't as troubled as Zuo Wentang.
But he didn't return to Maple City immediately either.
Earlier, he gained a sense of enlightenment and thoughts had since been overflowing like a natural spring that he couldn't seem to stop.
