She gently took a cloak from the person behind her and carefully draped it over Yuan Qingling's thin shoulders.

Then, Xuezhi turned to the old man and said softly, "Uncle, I'm so sorry, our young lady has been in poor health since childhood and can't withstand such exertion, so we won't chat with you any longer today. I'll take her back to the manor to rest and recuperate, and we'll meet you again another day if there's an opportunity."

After saying that, Xuezhi turned her head and winked at Xueyin behind her.

Understanding immediately, Xueyin quickly came forward, and the two of them reached out and steadily supported Yuan Qingling's slender arm, walking slowly step by step towards the carriage parked not far away.

Yuan Qingling leaned obediently against the two of them, each step she took seemed somewhat difficult.

When Yuan Qingling turned around, the crowded people seemed to be driven by some invisible force, and automatically made way for her.

People cast admiring and appreciative glances, uttering heartfelt praises and expressing their respect and gratitude for Yuan Qingling's heroic act of risking her life to save others.

Upon hearing these words of praise, a faint smile appeared on Yuan Qingling's pale face.

That smile was like a peach blossom blooming in spring, beautiful and charming yet gentle and serene.

At this moment, she deeply felt that the sense of satisfaction and joy brought by practicing medicine and saving lives was so strong and pure, as if it could dispel all pain and sorrow.

"Pretty sister, pretty sister?" A clear and childish voice suddenly rang out.

Yuan Qingling, who was walking forward, paused for a moment upon hearing the shout and pulled her foot back.

Immediately afterwards, she looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Not far away, a small figure was blinking its big eyes, looking at him with curiosity.

Yuan Qingling couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked softly, "Who are you?" As she spoke, she turned around to face the little guy.

At this moment, the little one revealed an innocent smile, and then said with a grin, "Sister, you're so amazing! Just as amazing as my mother!"

Before he could finish speaking, a soft laugh came from the side.

It turned out that Yun Ziyu, who had been standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He chuckled as he reached out and gently patted the little guy's head, teasing, "Hey, you little rascal, have you ever seen your mother practice medicine and save lives? How come you're saying this lady is just as amazing as your mother?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingling's gaze involuntarily turned toward the source of the sound.

Only then did she realize that there was another person standing in the shadows.

As Yun Ziyu finished speaking, the figure emerged from the shadows.

The light from the surrounding lanterns fell on him, outlining a clear silhouette.

Yuan Qingling looked closely and was startled.

The man before me had striking features, a tall and straight figure, and a white robe that fluttered in the wind, which further accentuated his outstanding temperament and elegant demeanor.

However, at this moment, he was bowing apologetically to Yuan Qingling and said, "Miss Yuan, please forgive me. The child is naughty and ignorant, and has bothered you."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingling quickly shook her head, "Young Master Yun, you're too kind. I just didn't expect to meet you here. I wonder..."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted back and forth between Yun Ziyu and the two exquisitely beautiful little ones.

Yun Ziyu stood there, while the two little ones nestled close to his side, looking incredibly cute and well-behaved.

Yuan Qingling only needed to think for a moment to understand the identities of the two children.

However, just as she was about to speak, Yun Ziyu suddenly interrupted her.

Yun Ziyu's expression tightened, and she quickly lowered her voice, saying, "Shh, Miss Yuan, please be careful what you say!"

Yuan Qingling was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was going on and looked around. She understood immediately.

Then, she smiled and nodded to Yun Ziyu, saying softly, "It was my rudeness that caused this, please forgive me, Second Young Master Yun. I wonder if you, Second Young Master Yun, have come with the little princess and young lady to admire the beautiful lanterns as well?"

Yun Ziyu nodded slightly in agreement: "That's right. Today I was taking this little girl to the General's Mansion to visit her maternal grandmother. When we passed by this street, we saw all kinds of lanterns hanging along the way, so in the evening I thought I'd bring these two little ones here to take a look."

Yuan Qingling moved gracefully, slowly raising her eyes to gaze at the dazzling lanterns lining both sides of the street.

The lanterns, each with its own unique shape and vibrant colors, twinkled like stars, adorning the entire long street and creating a breathtaking scene.

She couldn't help but smile slightly, a beautiful smile playing on her lips, and murmured softly, "This year's lanterns are truly extraordinary, absolutely magnificent. Thinking back to the past, wars were frequent, and people suffered greatly. Now, the world is united, and peace reigns. Everywhere you look, you see people's faces beaming with joy. Such a scene is truly a rare and beautiful sight."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ziyu, who was standing to the side, trembled slightly and sighed inwardly.

In that instant, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, he understood the Grand Tutor's good intentions.

No matter how the external situation changes or fluctuates, this world will ultimately maintain a peaceful and prosperous era.

Such a peaceful and tranquil living environment is not only what ordinary people yearn for, but also what those who have the world in their hearts and hold power dream of protecting.

Therefore, every decree issued by the Grand Tutor was carried out secretly and quietly.

Even when conveying important information to Xiao Jue, it was done secretly by mobilizing troops and making careful arrangements, without disturbing the peaceful lives of ordinary people in the slightest.

Yun Ziyu also laughed and said, "Yes, this is the best kind of life."

"Ah, Uncle, I see Uncle! Brother, Second Uncle, look over there, Uncle is here!" Mo Zhiyuan's eyes darted left and right while Yun Ziyu and Yuan Qingling were talking, and she was surprised to see a familiar face.

Yun Ziyu looked in the direction Mo Zhiyuan was pointing and said, "Hey, it really is! How could Big Brother suddenly come back? This is really strange."

Mo Junye held Mo Zhiyuan's hand and said, "Don't run around. Just wait for your uncle to come. If you get lost, we'll all have to look for you everywhere."

Mo Zhiyuan grinned at her brother and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother, hehe."
