After returning home, Xia He told his wife Li Huilan and sister Li Huiying the news that he had become the chief disciple in Xuanfeng.

The family members were a little confused at first and didn’t quite understand what “Chief’s True Instruction” meant.

"Brother He, does this mean you got promoted again?"

Xia He smiled and was about to explain when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

The innkeeper walked in with a big smile on his face and said in a flattering tone:

"Master Xia, congratulations!"

"It's so late, I'm sorry to bother you, but the camp asked me to tell you something. You are now a true disciple, your status is very important, and you can move in tomorrow!"

"Inner disciples and above all have their own courtyards, and true disciples enjoy the treatment of commanders. Your whole family can move to the big courtyard over on South Street!"

Li Huilan and Xia Yun were stunned when they heard this. Li Huilan asked in disbelief:

"South Street? A big courtyard? Can we...really move to a place like that?"

They have been asking around in Yunzhou these days.

South Street is the most prosperous place in Yunzhou, and those who can live there are all dignitaries.

How could ordinary people like them ever think that they could live there! It was like a dream for a moment!

The innkeeper nodded repeatedly, his tone respectful and almost humble:

"Of course! Lord Xia is now the last disciple of Li Dushi, and has a noble status. How can he live in this small courtyard? Don't worry, I will send someone to help you move tomorrow morning, and everything will be arranged!"

"Thank you very much."

Xia He smiled and sent the boss away.

Li Huiying finally reacted, a look of surprise appeared on her face, she turned around, took Li Huilan's hand and said:

"Girl, pinch me, am I dreaming?"

Li Huilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Xiaowen went up and twisted Li Huiying's thigh.

"Mom, does it hurt?"

"Ouch, that hurts! You kid!"

Li Huiying glared at Xiaowen, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her face!

"Xiao Wen, let's go pack our things quickly. We're going to live in the big yard tomorrow!"

Although Xiaowen was young, he understood and jumped up excitedly:

"Great! We're going to live in a big yard!"

Li Huilan recalled the respectful look of the inn owner just now, and felt excited but a little embarrassed.

She never thought that one day she would be able to enjoy such treatment.

She turned to look at Xia He, her eyes full of relief and pride.

After nightfall, Xia He held Li Huilan in his arms and lay on the bed. After a period of rain and clouds, his wife panted slightly and buried her head in his chest, and the two chatted softly.

Xia He gently stroked Li Huilan's soft belly and asked in a low voice:

"You haven't been to the temple by yourself these days, have you?"

Li Huilan shook her head and said softly:

"No. I heard from the aunt next door that the temple said it would be closed for worship these days and would not even earn money from incense offerings. It's very strange."

Upon hearing this, Xia He frowned slightly, feeling a little confused, but didn't take it too seriously.

He patted Li Huilan's back gently and said:

"It's good that you're fine. It's better not to go to that kind of place. If you're bored, you can find a hobby, like needlework, calligraphy or painting."

"I understand, brother He. I'll do as you say."

Li Huilan nodded and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Xia He was originally planning to take a rest when he suddenly heard a sharp eagle cry coming from outside the door.

He was startled, stood up gently, put on his coat and walked out of the room.

Baimei fell from mid-air and landed steadily on his arm.

Outside the yard, a figure was standing lightly in the moonlight. It was Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang glanced at him, her eyes fell on the mountain eagle on his arm, and her tone was filled with a hint of surprise:

"Did you raise this mountain eagle?"

Xia He was a little surprised when he found out it was her.

"Miss Liu, why are you here so late?"

Ever since that day when they had "intimate contact" and "being honest with each other", the two felt quite awkward and unnatural when they met again.

But Xia He promised her afterwards.

"Don't worry, Miss Liu. I won't tell anyone what happened in the secret passage in the cave."

Liu Rushuang took a deep breath to calm her violent heartbeat, nodded slightly, and then said seriously:

"Recently, barbarian assassins have been appearing frequently in Yunzhou. As soon as the mountain eagles and carrier pigeons that carry messages appear, they will be captured. I came here to ask you if you have found anything unusual, and by the way, to remind you to be careful."

Xia He shook his head and said:

"Everything is normal on my side, nothing unusual. But why is the barbarian assassin so arrogant?"

Commander Li is still in the city!

Liu Rushuang said calmly:

"Barbarians are always cunning. You are now a true disciple with a special status. They may target you. You should be careful."

Xia He nodded and said:

"Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention to it."

Seeing that he was fine, Liu Rushuang said no more and turned to leave.

Xia He watched her back disappear into the night. He returned to the room, took down the letter box from the eagle's sharp claws, opened it, and was stunned.

The letter read: "I have arrived in Yunzhou. - Yang Qing'er."

Xia He was surprised.

Yang Qing'er was a spy for Yanyu Tower. The information she provided had helped him a lot in Liangzhou before.

When I left Liangzhou, I told her that I came to Yunzhou, but I didn't expect that she would come too.

"What is she doing in Yunzhou?"

"Did you come to me specifically to ask for the antidote?"

However, on second thought, he felt something was not right.
