Eastern Chu, bamboo forest in the western suburbs.

On the second day after returning to Dongchu, Su Xuening and Su Yun'an, along with Xuanyuan Zhan and Xiaobao, came to the bamboo forest in the western suburbs to visit Pei Luo and Youyi. Unexpectedly, Dao Yi was also there.

"Master, Uncle-Master!"

As soon as Su Yun'an arrived at the bamboo forest, he ran wildly to Pei Luo and threw himself into his arms.

This delighted Pei Luo. Pei Luo hugged Su Yun'an and looked at Su Xuening and her family of three not far away. She couldn't stop smiling and asked, "When did you get back?"

"I came back yesterday, so of course I came to see you guys as soon as I got back. I missed Master so much!" Su Yun'an said to Pei Luo in a cute and charming way.

Su Yun'an only acts like a real child when he's with Pei Luo.

At other times, he acts like a little adult, and he can't even be this relaxed in front of Duanmu Junyu and Su Renzhong.

You Yi glared at Su Yun'an and said, "You little sycophant!"

Su Yun'an glared at You Yi: "I'm telling the truth!"

The two of them met and started fighting like children, which made everyone laugh.

"Master, Uncle-Master."

Xuanyuan Zhan and Su Xuening also came over and bowed to Pei Luo, Dao Yi, and You Yi.

Pei Luo looked at them and smiled, "It's good that you're back. We've all missed you."

When Youyi saw Xiaobao, it was like seeing a new toy: "Oh my, let your master hug my good disciple."

Youyi snatched Xiaobao from Su Xuening's arms, making him giggle.

Fortunately, Xiao Bao is still an infant and cannot learn martial arts yet. If Xiao Bao could learn martial arts now, You Yi would probably have to teach him martial arts by now.

Xuanyuan Zhan sat down at the table and looked at Dao Yidao: "Why is Master in the bamboo forest? Should we just leave Bailong Temple alone?"

Before Dao could speak, Pei Luo said, "Your master now knows the way through the bamboo forest by himself, and he comes and goes by himself every day!"

Xuan Yuanzhan looked shocked: "Really? Even you know the way?"

His directionally challenged master actually knows the way! What an amazing thing!

"You brat, what's so strange about me knowing the way!" Dao Yi was amused by Xuan Yuanzhan's astonished expression and gave him a light tap on the head. "How far is it from Bailong Temple to the bamboo forest? One is in the eastern suburbs and the other in the western suburbs. I can get there in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea by using my lightness skill."

...Xuanyuan Zhan scratched his head.

That's true, but Master is terrible with directions. He used to get lost after just two miles, but now he can run from the east suburbs to the west suburbs without getting lost. It's really impressive.

Master didn't have many friends to begin with, but now that he's finally gotten to know Ning'er's master and uncle, they've become close friends despite their age difference. It's good for them to keep in touch like this.

As an emperor, he certainly wouldn't be able to visit him often.

However, it's good that he has his master and uncle-master with him.

With Youyi around, Su Xuening couldn't even hold Xiaobao.

Fortunately, Su Xuening was happy to have some free time, so she personally cooked a table full of dishes.

Everyone gathered together, enjoying drinks and a meal in a harmonious atmosphere.

Su Xuening and Su Yun'an also recounted the events that had occurred during their time in Northern Wei to Pei Luo, You Yi, and Dao Yi.

All three of them looked surprised, not expecting that so many things had happened to them.

Hearing that Su Yun'an had summoned the Azure Dragon Divine Beast and had been designated as his successor by the old emperor of Northern Wei, Pei Luo was very happy for him.

She felt a pang of sympathy for Su Xuening: "So, you'll have to go to Northern Wei every three months to help him recuperate?"

Su Xuening nodded: "The old man is getting on in years and his health is failing. If he doesn't get proper care, he won't live much longer."

Pei Luo sighed softly, paused for a moment, and said, "How about this, Yun'an will stay in Northern Wei to study the way of governing the country. I am far away, and it is inconvenient for me to teach him martial arts. Why don't I go to Northern Wei with him? This way, I can personally teach Yun'an and help that old man take care of his health, so you won't have to go back and forth."

Su Xuening and Su Yun'an looked at Pei Luo in shock upon hearing this: "You're going to Northern Wei?"

Pei Luo smiled wryly: "Then what else can we do? Yun'an can't stay in the bamboo forest forever. If I go to Northern Wei with her, wouldn't that solve both Yun'an's problem of learning martial arts and your problem of traveling back and forth?"

It was difficult for Pei Luo, who both missed Su Yun'an and felt sorry for Su Xuening, so he could only reluctantly go to Northern Wei on his own.

Su Xuening looked at Pei Luo with emotion: "Actually, you don't need to do this. I only need to go once every three months. With the help of a divine beast, it's very convenient to go back and forth."

She knew that her master didn't like crowds; he preferred quiet places like the bamboo forest.

She didn't want to, and couldn't bear to, have her master change his lifestyle for her.

Pei Luo smiled and patted Su Xuening's head: "Silly girl, it doesn't matter where I am. Besides, your junior brother's martial arts can't be neglected. It's best if I stay by his side."

Su Yun'an was also deeply moved, even though he didn't understand his master as well as his sister.

But he knew that his master went to Northern Wei for his and his sister's sake.

How fortunate he was to have such a devoted master who cared so much for him and his sister!

Xuanyuan Zhan actually thought Pei Luo's idea was good: "I think Master's idea is quite good. After all, the old man only has three years. After three years, Yun'an's martial arts will be almost complete, and then Master can retire and go back to the bamboo forest of Dongchu to live in seclusion."

In Xuanyuan Zhan's view, it would only take three to five years.

Although Su Xuening was reluctant to let her master go to Northern Wei for her sake, she couldn't dissuade him.

The old lady has made up her mind, and nothing she says can change it!

Although they had decided to go to Northern Wei, Pei Luo and Su Yun'an did not set off for Northern Wei for more than two months.
