“He’s about to disappear,” Xia Xiang said. “First his memories, then his whole being.”

Wang Arthur, Ding Xiaoyu, Rex, and the others were all taken aback.

"What are you saying?" Wang Dadong got up and looked at Xia Xiang warily, then turned to look at his brothers, whose faces were full of sadness.

"To prevent this from happening every day before he disappears, I may have to go now." Xia Xiang's expression was indifferent, her eyes lowered, making it impossible to discern her emotions.

Wang Dadong stared intently at Xia Xiang, his expression blank, seemingly lost in thought.

"Goodbye," Xia Xiang said solemnly as she squatted down in front of Wang Dadong, patted his shoulder.

The happiness of Wang Dadong in front of her has nothing to do with her. Her presence will only remind him of those painful memories time and time again.

Wang Yase and the others had also thought of this, so they didn't try to persuade Xia Xiang.

Wang Dadong's lips moved slightly, Xia Xiang's name was on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

After Xia Xiang came down the mountain, she saw Jiu Wu standing at the crossroads waiting for her with a smile on his face, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She laughed and strode forward, throwing herself into his arms and hugging him tightly.

"Going home?" Jiu Wu asked softly, hugging Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang nestled quietly in Jiu Wu's arms, nuzzled against him, then looked up at him, asking in confusion.

"Jiuwu, how did you find me? Did you plant a tracker on me?"

"I won't tell you~" Jiu Wu smiled and looked at her with doting eyes. Then he put his arm around her shoulder and the two of them slowly walked out.

The people behind them stood in a row, watching the two leave.

——

The two arrived in the Silver Dimension a moment later.

"I'm still going to stay in the Silver Dimension. Are you going back to the Iron Dimension?" Xia Xiang stood in front of the Time Gate, hugging Jiu Wu tightly and acting coquettishly, clearly reluctant to leave.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Jiu Wu hugged Xia Xiang tightly, feeling equally reluctant to part. He patted her head and then reluctantly separated from her.

——

When Xia Xiang arrived at the entrance of Dong Han Academy, all she saw was ruins.

"What's going on?" Xia Xiang asked, bewildered. "Where did they move to?"

A kind passerby said, "The Eastern Han Academy was abolished. It is said that Cao Cao took the remaining students to Jiangdong."

Xia Xiang: Thank you

A moment later, Xia Xiang teleported directly to Jiangdong—where she found the Dongcheng Guards and her grandfather.

"Everyone, what's going on here???" Xia Xiang asked in confusion, "The plot is changing too fast!"

“No, it’s because you’ve been gone for a long time,” Jie interjected.

"Um..." Xia Xiang scratched her temples awkwardly. "I had something very important to do, so I was delayed for a little while."

"The problem now is that Sun Jian hasn't woken up yet, so we can only proceed according to their development sequence," Ming said.

"Xiu followed them to maintain the last vestige of dignity for the Dong Han Academy at the Jingzhou Building in Jiangdong."

"How is Liu Bei?" Deng asked with a somewhat resentful expression.

"She's recovering and still in rehabilitation. I believe she'll be back soon," Xia Xiang said.

"That's great! I really never want to come to this godforsaken place, the Silver Dimension, again!" Deng said pitifully.

"I'll go back and apply for extended leave for you," Xia Xiang said.

"And me?" Grandpa asked, pointing to his own nose.

"You're the biggest contributor, so of course you get unlimited pizza and milk tea!" Xia Xiang coaxed.

"Yay!" Ah Gong clapped his hands happily, probably the happiest person among them.

Xia Xiang then pulled out a stack of letters, "You can continue sending these letters."

Jie took it and nodded.

"If you get a reply, contact me. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, I will stay in the Silver Dimension until things are resolved."

Jie nodded and said, "Okay."

"I need to see Xiu about something, and I'll also check on how they are doing. You guys keep up the good work, bye-bye~" After giving her instructions, Xia Xiang went to the Jingzhou Building to quietly visit her old friends.
