Mi Bai didn’t know how he was brought back to Qingfeng Bank. Whether drunk or panicked, he staggered back to his room, a narrow space that could only accommodate a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe.

His contract with Qingfeng Bank was not for life, implying he retained considerable freedom. However, due to his non-permanent status, he received the lowest salary among the scribes and enjoyed the poorest living conditions.

But he didn’t feel bitter about living in such a shabby shack for three years. For a child who had begun fending for himself at the tender age of ten, this small room with a bed and a desk was practically heaven.

But he knew this might be his last night here because he had already decided to

flee tonight.

He planned to take those children to another city to earn a living. Calligraphy and painting were his only means of survival. If he were to become a tool for producing replica artworks, he would rather die.

Lying on the bed, Mi Bai remembered the deceitful face of Feng Dezheng, regretting that he hadn’t seen through him earlier.

At midnight, the sleeping Mi Bai suddenly opened his eyes. Like an alert black cat, he rolled out of bed without making a sound.

He slung the pre-prepared package over his shoulder and embarked on his

escape.

His room was in the backyard of Qingfeng Bank, while the guards would be stationed at the gates of the front yard before midnight. Therefore, as long as he didn’t make any noise, he could easily leave.

Feng Dezheng would never suspect that the scribe, who had acted like a puppet at the dining table, would have the courage to escape that very night. The inebriated shopkeeper didn’t even leave a word for the guards, allowing him to quietly open the gate and slip out.

The streets were deserted at midnight, with only the bright moon hung up high. The chill wind blowing against Mi Bai’s face made him shudder. He pulled himself together, planning first to go to the deserted temple to gather the children, and then leave the city overnight.
