As Liu Huan saw An Zhi off, the seemingly indifferent person who had been smiling suddenly couldn't hold back anymore.
She went back to bed and didn't eat. Su Yi first told her to calm down by herself, and only returned to the room when it was almost time.
He hugged the person tightly, blanket and all, and asked, "Did you really cry?"
Liu Huan pulled back the covers and looked at him with annoyance, "Were you faking your crying yesterday?"
Su Yi didn't sleep all night yesterday. In the middle of the night, Liu Huan was awakened by a faint sound and realized that Su Yi was crying.
She hadn't said anything to protect Su Yi's image, but now that she heard him teasing her, Liu Huan didn't hold back.
Sure enough, Su Yi's expression froze, and his ears turned visibly red. "I just got dust in my eyes."
Liu Huan was amused by him, wiped away her tears and told him what was on her mind, "Two ingrates, and I miss them so much."
"They came back in a few years. They've missed so much over the years. How about we have some time without being bothered?"
Liu Huan was persuaded by him, and their long-awaited time alone together began.
Just when she was about to forget about the two children, she received a letter from Anran, telling her that she had arrived at the Xuanzhen Sect and that the people there were very kind, and that she should not worry.
Liu Huan wasn't worried about her daughter's safety. The moment her daughter left, the people protecting her were already on the move. She trusted the people she had invested heavily in training.
One month ago.
On a mountain in the south of Li Kingdom, outside the Xuanzhen Sect.
The Xuanzhen Sect's triennial apprenticeship ceremony was about to end, and two little girls carrying bundles squeezed through the crowd to the front.
"And us too."
The leader looked at her and asked, "How old are you?"
"Ten years old"
After hearing this, the person registering them asked for other information and finally gave them a wooden sign, saying, "Go in, someone will take you to your accommodation."
The two men, holding wooden signs, followed behind a group of people, their eyes wide with astonishment as they looked around at their surroundings.
"Miss, it looks really different here."
An Ran, equally naive, said, "Yes, it feels much more interesting here than in the capital."
"Stop looking, go put your things away first. The sect leader will be here soon, so don't be late."
Many people came to run for office this time, but only a dozen or so will remain.
Therefore, there is a month-long training period, and anyone who fails to meet the requirements, regardless of age or status, cannot stay.
Furthermore, during the initial training period, the accommodation was a shared dormitory; only after officially staying on as trainees would they have their own rooms.
As soon as Anran put her things down, someone came up to greet her, "Hey little sister, what's your name?"
An Ran noticed that the person was dressed in a neat short outfit and had a high ponytail, which looked very nice. In particular, the person's smiling face and crescent-shaped eyes made them seem very approachable.
Without realizing it, she lowered her guard. "My surname is Su. You can call me Anran, sister."
"Su Anran, that's a nice name. Your beaded flower looks really pretty; it must have been expensive."
Seeing that she seemed to really like it, An Ran touched it and said, "It's not anything fancy, I just bought it casually."
The man's smile didn't reach his eyes. Indeed, if she were a rich young lady, why would she come to such a place to suffer?
She wasn't interested in chatting, changed her clothes, and left.
An Ran didn't care at all, changed her clothes, and went out with Xiao Lan.
When they arrived, everyone was already there. A stern-faced man stood in front and gave a speech, “Everyone hurry up. From now on, be there at the appointed time. If you’re late, just leave.”
