Chapter 345: Chen Zilong's Ambition

Xiang Shaoyun then went looking for Chen Zilong, preparing to return to the Chen Clan with him. He did not believe Chen Zilong had travelled with him just because he wanted to return to the Cloud Margin Pavilion. Rather, he was sure Chen Jiayan was the one who had arranged for them to travel together in hope that Xiang Shaoyun would give Chen Zilong some help. Since he owed the Chen Clan a favor, he did not mind returning it. On their way back to the Chen Clan, Hua Cheng and Du Xuanhao appeared before them.

"Shaoyun, you're leaving already?" Hua Cheng asked.

"Alright. We will meet again if we have the chance. It's time for me to leave," said Xiang Shaoyun.

At this time, Du Xuanhao spoke. "I'll tag along to the Chen Clan as well."

Xiang Shaoyun and Chen Zilong had no excuse to say no. After all, Du Xuanhao and Chen Jiayan were friends, and it wasn't weird that he would make such a request. They continued on, and while traveling, Xiang Shaoyun asked Chen Zilong, "Have you ever thought of leaving and heading
