Zhao Changhe's so-called "finding a place to buy a mask," Vermilion Bird noticed that he bypassed cities and most just stopped in passing villages to eat before setting off again, seemingly with a very clear destination in mind.
Moreover, he was very experienced, deliberately choosing secluded paths, sometimes dashing through forests and mountains, and at other times deliberately taking straight roads, only to take a long detour soon after, making it unclear where he was heading.
These were all experiences gained from being blocked and hunted in the past; it was quite difficult to accurately track his movements, at least setting an ambush in advance was not possible.
Vermilion Bird could understand his reasons but was quite annoyed.
