On both sides, the Military Suppression Department and the City Patrol Guarded, preventing onlookers from getting close.
Chu Zhiyuan and Cheng Miaozhen walked side by side.
Gao Lingfeng, along with Gao Jiuqu and two Great Grandmasters, walked in the row behind them.

The avenue was bustling, with many experts from the Military Suppression Department mingling among the onlookers, their eyes like falcons, ready to act at any moment.
Chu Zhiyuan and Cheng Miaozhen hardly spoke.
Chu Zhiyuan sensed her cold detachment, realizing that she was unwilling to be here, likely forced.
He felt sympathetic and empathetic, so he refrained from engaging any further to avoid mutual embarrassment.
Maintaining this cold distance was for the best.
The two arrived at the Da Zhen Pavilion of the Four Directions Pavilion, where Chu Zhiyuan bid farewell and left.
