"I'm glad my master likes it!" she said, her eyes welling up with tears.

Seeing his expression, Leng Fengmei knew something was wrong. "Come with me!"

Xiao Zhiqiang followed his master into the master's room.

As soon as she entered the room, Leng Fengmei asked in a cold voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Zhiqiang knelt down with a "plop" on the ground. "Master, Zhiqiang dares not complain. Zhiqiang just wants to know if I am still that scumbag Xiao Zhiqiang in your heart." As he spoke, his face was covered with tears.

"Xiao Zhiqiang, remember this: from the moment I made a contract with you, I treated you as a blank sheet of paper. What you become depends on what you do."

"Master!" Xiao Zhiqiang looked at Leng Fengmei pleadingly, "I don't want to be separated from you!"

Leng Fengmei originally didn't intend to tell anyone, because the more people who knew, the more dangerous it would be.

He reached out and helped him up. "Now that you know, I won't hide it from you. The reason I didn't make it public is because I was afraid that once I left, this place would attract the attention of petty people! Especially the people from Kyoto..."

Xiao Zhiqiang stared blankly at his master, "Master, how long are you going to be gone?"

Leng Fengmei said helplessly, "I don't know either, maybe a few days, maybe a month..."

Then, looking directly at Xiao Zhiqiang with a solemn expression, she said, "So, I can't take you with me. You need to take good care of the house, especially the children!"

"Master, please rest assured, I guarantee with my life that they will be alright!" Xiao Zhiqiang said firmly. The gloom in his heart slowly dissipated.

"I'll have the Flying Eagles team leave some members behind to follow your instructions. Contact me if anything happens!" Leng Fengmei said, then took out a bottle of essence water. "Go back and soak your face in it!"

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Zhiqiang didn't take it too seriously, but he still carefully treasured what his master had given him.
