The luggage in the room had been moved to the front yard. Xu Bai and Chen Yuyuan were saying their final goodbyes to some classmates. This farewell might mean they would meet again in the future, or they might never see each other again. Some of the classmates who were close to each other even had tears in their eyes.

Seeing Xu Di approach, Xu Bai, with tears in his eyes, said, "My fellow classmates, I wish you all great success in your studies and that you will meet again in the future. We will still be good brothers."

Xu Di led Xu Bai and Chen Yuyuan to the small kitchen in the front yard.

Li Yuexi had already finished making dumplings with the chef in the kitchen and put them on the table. Wu Muyue was sitting at the table eating dumplings when he saw Xu Bai and Chen Yuyuan come in. He smiled and said, "You two hurry up and eat. We're leaving after you finish eating."

Xu Bai agreed and happily sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Chen Yuyuan, on the other hand, looked sad. Xu Di sat down next to him and said, "Yuyuan, you must study hard with your uncle and learn skills well. When you have learned everything, you can go back to the capital."

Chen Yuyuan naturally understood what Xu Di meant, and he also understood the weight of his fate on Xu Di's shoulders. He nodded very seriously and said, "Cousin, I understand."

Xu Di felt a pity for the child, who had to shoulder such a responsibility at such a young age. But given his background, this was the only way; otherwise, he would only become cannon fodder for others.

Xu Bai took a bite of the dumpling and exclaimed with delight, "Yu Yuan, look! It's my favorite chive filling! My sister-in-law usually complains that chive filling is too strong and won't make it for us, but she made it for us today."

Chive and egg dumplings are not only a favorite of Xu Bai, but also of Chen Yuyuan. After eating two, his mood immediately improved.

After the meal, the group was escorted to Shili Pavilion outside Tai'an City before the trip ended. Chen Yuyuan, riding his horse, looked back and could still see his cousin-in-law waving to him from the roadside, as well as his cousin standing next to her.

Li Yuexi watched the group walk further and further away in the morning light, sighed, and said to Xu Di, "I really hate to part with them."

Xu Di said, "They grow up day by day, and when they grow up, they will have their own world. This is true for them, and it will be true for our children in the future."

Hearing Xu Di mention the child, Li Yuexi felt she should think of something, but couldn't quite recall it. Xu Di took Li Yuexi's hand and said, "Let's go too."

Xu Ru and Yue Qingchuan had already boarded the carriage, which had turned around and was preparing to return. Li Yuexi nodded and said, "I hope they have a safe journey and arrive in Ganzhou safely."

Xu Di looked at the group that had already turned the corner and disappeared from sight, and he was actually quite unsure of himself. Although no one had come to assassinate Chen Yuyuan in all these years, who could guarantee that it wouldn't happen this time?

However, these are all things that Chen Yuyuan must face. Over the years, Chen Yuyuan has diligently practiced martial arts with his brothers in the Chen family, and now he has at least the ability to protect himself.

After Xu Di and Li Yuexi got into the carriage, they followed Xu Ru's carriage into the city. Xu Bai saw Chen Yuyuan walking and looking back, and said, "Yuyuan, we have to part ways after seeing you off for a thousand miles. Today's parting is for our reunion in the future."

Sitting in the carriage, Wu Muyue couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xu Bai comforting Chen Yuyuan. Then he heard Xu Bai whisper to Chen Yuyuan, "Yuyuan, take this and make sure you take it safe."

Wu Muyue was very curious about what Xu Bai had given Chen Yuyuan. He gently lifted the carriage curtain and saw that Xu Bai had given Chen Yuyuan several small packets. Wu Muyue was wondering what was inside these packets when he heard Xu Bai say in an even softer voice, "Yuyuan, let me tell you, this contains lime powder mixed with chili powder. It must not get wet. Also, you must keep it safe. This is our life-saving stuff. If we encounter someone we can't beat, we can throw one at their face and guarantee that their fighting ability will instantly become zero."

Chen Yuyuan said hesitantly, "Brother Bai, I know about lime powder. Using that isn't something a hero would do, is it?"

Xu Bai said, "We haven't provoked anyone. Anyone who comes looking for trouble is no good. We can't beat them, so are we just going to wait to be killed?"

Chen Yuyuan remained silent, but Xu Bai continued to persuade her, "Yuyuan, you must remember this: whatever method works, it's a good method. Whether it's a white cat or a black cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat, don't you agree?"
