"Imperial Advisor, you are truly amazing..."

She wanted to praise the Imperial Advisor, but unexpectedly, everyone's eyes fell on her and the Imperial Advisor.

Especially Lin Kaiji and Nangong Qing, what did they just hear? If they didn't mishear, the Imperial Preceptor just called Su Luo "Junior Sister"?

"Luo Luo, you...you and the Imperial Advisor?"

The Imperial Advisor stood up, raised the cup in front of him, and said, "I haven't told everyone this before, but after I did some divination, I discovered that the Deputy Minister of Agriculture was the last disciple my master took in."

After my master passed away, I never saw my junior sister again, but fate has other plans, and now we've finally met.

The Imperial Preceptor himself possessed extraordinary skills, and his master's origins were unknown. Moreover, when Su Luo spoke to others, she also mentioned that she had a wandering master.

What the Imperial Advisor is saying is basically consistent with what they are saying now. They both have too many secrets, so it's not surprising that they are from the same sect.

"Luo Luo, is what the Imperial Advisor said true?"

Su Luo never expected that her casual lie or excuse would lead to such a coincidence.

The saying that "one lie leads to a thousand lies to cover it up" is absolutely true.

"Yes! I only recently recognized the Imperial Preceptor, so I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

Everyone drank some wine together. Nangong Chiyu served Su Luo a bowl of soup and told her to drink less wine.

The guests enjoyed the meal to the fullest, and when it was time to say goodbye, they didn't leave until very late, until Yi Huan had fallen asleep.

After watching everyone board the carriage, Su Luo turned around and tried to take Yi Huan from Nangong Chiyu's arms, but he refused.

"Prince Yu, please take Yi Huan back with you."

Nangong Chiyu was nine feet tall, and Yi Huan was tiny in his arms.

"He's asleep, I'll carry him. I'll take you to the Du residence first, then I'll go back."

Du Xiuyuan and his family of three rode in one carriage, while A Xu escorted Xie Wanwan in another.

Su Luo was worried about her daughter, so she followed Nangong Chiyu into his carriage to go back.

"Su Luo, when are you leaving tomorrow?"

Everything is packed, everything that needs to be brought is brought, and everything that needs to be bought is bought.

"I'll leave as soon as it's light! What about you? When are you going back to see your family?"

Nangong Chiyu looked down at Yi Huan; her face was chubby and resembled his by about 80%.

"tomorrow!"

"You're leaving tomorrow too? What a coincidence."

"Um!"

After putting Yi Huan on her bed, the two of them left.

Nothing was said that night; the brief separation was only for the next reunion.

...

The next day!

The entire Du family got up even earlier than Su Luo. Su Zuo had fed the horses and prepared everything, just waiting for the mother and daughter to get into the carriage.

Nangong Qing also rushed over before dawn and accompanied them out of the capital city gate.

"We've seen you off for a thousand miles, but we must part ways now. You may go back."

Su Luo stuck her head out of the carriage window and addressed the group behind her.

"Alright, Grandmaster, please be careful."

"Goodbye, Luo Luo!"

Su Luo waved to them, "I understand, you can go back now."

The morning sun shone on the group, but the carriage was no longer visible on the road leading out of the city.

On the way, Su Luo opened the carriage curtain first, and there were only three people in the carriage: herself, Yi Huan, and An An.

"Miss, why do you like big birds like eagles?"

"I've heard there's a kind of bird that's colorful, can talk, and can sing!"

An'an and Yi Huan kept looking at the eagle in the cage. This eagle was the one that Nangong Chiyu gave to Yi Huan.

“An’an, the bird you’re talking about is probably a parrot. I like this eagle not because I like birds, but because it was a gift from Prince Yu.”

An'an nodded: "Oh...is this what Master Xie meant by 'love me, love my dog'?"

Prince Yu treats Miss well, so she cherishes the gifts he gives her.

"I guess so, but I also like animals and I'll treat them well."

"Yes! I like it too."

Su Luo gazed out the window. She didn't concern herself with the children's world; as she embarked on her journey home, her only thought was to return.

An hour later, the carriage that had entered the official road suddenly stopped.

Su Zuo's voice came from outside: "Madam, it's Prince Yu."

Su Luo lifted the carriage curtain and looked out, and sure enough, she saw Nangong Chiyu's large carriage.

There were also thirty armored Akabane soldiers, and several others blocking their vehicle.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, do you take this road home too?"

Nangong Chiyu smiled and walked to their carriage. Today, she was dressed in black.

"Su Luo, what a coincidence, it seems we'll be traveling together again."

Yi Huan also peeked out from the carriage and saw that it was Nangong Chiyu. Her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled.

"Prince Yu, are you coming home with us? Where do you live?"

Yi Huan was surprised by the coincidence and innocently asked Nangong Chiyu.

"Where Huanhuan's home is, that's where my home is."

Su Luo scoffed; this person really knew how to coax children.

"Really? My home is in Changping Village, Yongle County. Is Prince Yu also going to Changping Village?"

Taking two steps closer, Nangong Chiyu reached out and ruffled Yi Huan's hair.

“Then I’ll go to Changping Village too. I’ll protect you and your mother on the way.”

"good!"

Su Luo took it as a joke. This official road would pass through many places, and Nangong Chiyu might just be traveling the same route as them.

"Prince Yu, isn't Chi Yi with you?"

Nangong Chiyu felt that his wife cared about everyone else, but why didn't she care about him?

Su Luo never inquired about his private affairs, nor did she ask him where he lived or about his family.

"I'm leaving. Chi Yi will stay in the capital. He'll be needed to manage military affairs."

"Oh! It's getting late, let's go."

When we arrived, it was covered in ice and snow; on the way back, the trees were green and pine trees, a wonderful time of year when everything comes back to life.

In two days, they stayed at inns and passed through many places.

Su Luo didn't know which stage Nangong Chiyu was going to reach with them, but when she asked him, he always said that the journey was long and they hadn't arrived yet.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I see fish in the river. Can you help me catch them?"

At noon, they parked their vehicle to rest and eat some dry food.

Su Zuo unloaded the horse from the carriage and let it go to the river to drink water and graze.

When Yi Huan and An An went to the river to wash their hands, they saw fish swimming in the river.

After eating dry rations for a few meals, she started to crave something else.

Nangong Chiyu was the most capable person in her eyes; catching a few fish should be a piece of cake for him.

"Huanhuan wants to eat fish?"

"Yes!" Yi Huanlong nodded.

"Okay! Leave it to me."

As he spoke, Nangong Chiyu placed his left little finger between his lips and gently blew, producing a melodious whistle.

Then came two eagles high in the sky.

As if it understood the command, the eagle spread its broad wings and flew low.

It then darted across the river, its talons dipping into the water, and snatched up a carp that was still trying to escape.

Both eagles did the same, and then dropped their spoils in front of Yi Huan.

"Wow... Prince Yu, your eagle is so amazing! It's so obedient and powerful!"

Yi Huan is an indescribable form of worship.
