"This is the border, and the route Bai Chen normally uses whenever he passes by," said Elder Wan Li as he pointed to the gorge.
"It stretches for 20 kilometers, and apart from the vegetation, there are no other living things inside it, which provides great cover for moving undetected, hence why we advised Bai Chen to use this area whenever he came by," he added.
"What about the Huang family?" You share a border with them. Surely they'd see him using the route?
"We have a decent relationship with them, and they know Bai Chen's importance to us," Elder Wan Li said with a gentle smile and tone, though there was nothing gentle behind the implied meaning of his words.
Judging by that look in his eye, the Huang family may as well be a lackey to them, even though they're a noble family themselves, mused Yang Qing.
