Translator: Dragon Boat Translation , Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Mo Tu burst out laughing. “You’re right, Sect Master. Only by staying alive can one have unlimited possibilities.” Staying alive was the first and only thing he had persisted in doing until now ever since he understood the affairs of the world.
Mo Tu knew more about the Red Demon Sect than Su Ying did, and he knew better how to manage these people. He was the previous leader here, and now, he was still the manager here. It was just that there was one more person in charge of him, so it was the same yet different for him.
However, if that person was Su Ying, it was not unacceptable.
“How do you plan to settle Que Que down?” Su Ying asked.
Que Que was different from them. She had grown up in a normal family. Whether it was Mo Tu or Su Ying, they still hoped that she could live in an ordinary environment.
However, Que Que was already nine years old. It would be difficult for her to accept being placed in someone else’s care at this juncture.
“I’ll bring her along. I still have people in Duo City who are trusted aides. I will let Que Que settle down there. I’ll watch her grow up. This is what I promised
her.”
“Since you already have a plan, I won’t interfere.
“When does Sect Master plan to leave Duo City? I’ll send you off, Sect Master.”
“First thing tomorrow morning.”
A strange emotion flashed across Mo Tu’s eyes, but he quickly hid it. “Alright. The Red Demon Sect also has a headquarters in the Chu State. After I settle the matters here, I’ll go to the Chu State to look for you, Sect Master.”
“Sure.”
Mo Tu handed a whistle to Su Ying and explained to her how to use the messenger eagle.
Su Ying looked at the tall messenger eagle and wanted to use it to deliver a letter to the Chu State, but she had no proof of identity to send with it. Xiao Jin couldn’t possibly believe a letter that was sent out of the blue by some eagle.
The next morning, Su Ying and Mo Tu returned to Duo City.
Su Ying told Mo Tu to wait at Cloud Assembly Inn while she went to fetch Que Que.
After she left the inn, she found a secluded place and entered the interspatial store to carry Que Que out. After waking her up, she brought her to the inn.
While riding piggy-back on Su Ying, Que Que looked at the people walking around on the street with a baffled expression. That was strange. She clearly remembered that she was sleeping in an inn, so why was she on the street the moment she opened her eyes?
“Big Sister, when did we go out on the streets?” She really had no impression of coming out at all.
■’In the morning when we woke up. I told you I wanted to bring you out into the street for breakfast, but you didn’t sleep enough. You fell asleep groggily in the horse carriage again. Are you awake now?”
Que Que’s tiny face frowned but she still couldn’t remember anything. However, whatever Big Sister said, she would accept it. “Mm-hmm. I’m awake.
Big Sister, I want to eat wontons.”
“Sure. I’ll bring you there now.”
Su Ying bought two big pancakes and a few buns on the way before she found a wonton shop.
“Mister, give me two bowls of meat wontons.
“Alrighty. Two bowls of meat wontons. Please wait a moment and I’ll make them for you two at once.”
Su Ying unwrapped the oil paper, and the billowing steam mixed with the fragrance of the meat buns assailed her nose.
“Come. Eat some buns first to fill your stomach.”
Que Que happily accepted the buns and thanked Su Ying. “Thank you, Big Sister. You have some too, Big Sister.” As she spoke, she also handed Su Ying a bun.
Su Ying accepted the bun and took a bite. Although Que Que had been rushing around on the road with them during this period, she had eaten and slept well, and her cheeks looked a little more chubby than in the past.
“Que Que, I have something to tell you. I’ll send you to your big brother’s place in a while and then I’ll leave.”
Que Que’s little face became anxious. She couldn’t be bothered to eat her bun anymore and looked at Su Ying with eyes that were about to cry. “Where are you going, Big Sister?” After spending more than a month together, she had already treated Su Ying as a family member she could rely on. Upon hearing that they were going to be separated, she felt really terrible inwardly.
“I am going to the Chu State. My family and friends are there. However, don t be anxious. Your big brother has some things to settle here. After he’s done with them, he will bring you to the Chu State to look for me.
■■When the time comes, will Big Brother really bring me to look for Big Sister?”
When Que Que heard this, her tears were restrained.
“Mm-hmm. He will.”
“That’s good. I thought I would never see you again, Big Sister.
“How can that be? Big Sister won’t run away. Eat up now.”
“Mm-hmm.”
By the time the wontons were served, Su Ying had already finished all the meat buns. She quickly wolfed down the wontons and pancakes before returning to Cloud Assembly Inn with Que Que.
“Big Brother!” The moment Que Que saw Mo Tu, she pounced on him.
Mo Tu hugged her and stood up before asking, “Did you enjoy yourself these few days, Que Que?”
“Mm-hmm. I did, but I missed you, Big Brother.”
Mo Tu held her hand. ‘TH bring you to the place where you will stay later. You’ll be able to see me every day in the future.”
“Okay.”
Mo Tu raised his eyes to look at Su Ying. “You’re leaving already?”
Su Ying nodded. “Mm-hmm. If you need anything, you can contact me using the messenger eagle.”
“Alright. We’ll send you out of the city.”
They came out of the inn and boarded the horse carriage. Perhaps it was time to part, but the atmosphere in the horse carriage was a little depressing. Even the lively Que Que didn’t say anything. She quietly held Su Ying’s hand, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Duo City was not small, and their inn was not close to the city gate. However, they felt that time passed very quickly, and the horse carriage arrived at the city gate in no time.
Que Que held Su Ying’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go. “Big Sister, you must wait for me and Big Brother in the Chu State.
Su Ying pinched her tiny face. “Sure. I will definitely wait for you.” “Don’t miss me too much.” Mo Tu’s pair of alluring seductive eyes were glistening with dewy moisture. It made a chill of disgust run down Su Ying’s spine.
“Go back. I’ll be careful.”
Mo Tu still could not resist asking, “You really don’t need me to escort you out of the Jin State?”
Mo Tu was a native of the Jin State, so he was definitely more familiar with the environment here than she was. The journey would definitely be more smooth-going with him leading the way than if she went alone. However, the Red Demon Sect had just gone through a battle of power struggle, and someone needed to stay behind to clean up the mess.
“No need. Just do what you should do.”
There would come a time to part.
Mo Tu led Que Que out of the horse carriage. Before they left, Mo Tu placed a bag of snacks in Su Ying’s hands. “I know you like this, so I specially went to buy it for you.”
Su Ying accepted it without reservation. “Thank you.”
Su Ying then lowered the carriage curtain, cutting off the sight of the two people sending her off.
The horse carriage soon left Duo City. The night before, Mo Tu had given her a map. This map could help her reach the border of the Jin State faster by taking the lesser-known minor roads.
However, there were fewer people on the minor roads, and there would be unknown dangers. If Su Ying had not expressed the wish that she wanted to return to the Chu State in the shortest time possible, Mo Tu would not have taken out the map.
Su Ying looked at the routes on the map and made markings on the map sequentially. When the horse carriage reached the outskirts of the city, she asked the coachman to stop.
Although riding on the horse carriage was more comfortable, it was too slow. She jumped down from the horse carriage and unharnessed a horse.
“You can go back. I can just ride the horse for the rest of the way.”
“Sect Master, be careful on the road.”
Su Ying nodded slightly, and with a wave of her whip, her figure quickly disappeared into the forest..
