Su Xuening looked at them and explained, "My mother sent it to pick up Yun'an and me. It just so happened that Xuan Yuan Yu and his men were chasing us, so I thought we should go to Xiliang together to avoid them. No matter how powerful Xuan Yuan Yu and his men are, they can't catch up to Xiliang."
Pei Luo and the others exchanged glances.
Temporarily avoiding Xiliang is indeed a solution; otherwise, given Xuanyuan Yu's power, even if they manage to escape this time, they will likely continue to be hunted down by them.
If it were just the few of them, there would be no need to be afraid. They could just fight those people. But there are also the girls, especially the girl who is about to give birth. If she gives birth while being chased, not only will the girl suffer, but the child will also suffer.
Therefore, temporarily avoiding Xiliang is definitely a good idea. Anyway, they have nothing else to do. They were just looking after the girl. Since the girl wants to go to Xiliang, they will go with her.
However, Dao Yi, as the abbot of Bailong Temple, is it really appropriate for him to go to Xiliang with them?
Pei Luo and You Yi both looked at Dao Yi.
Dao Yi gave a helpless bitter smile: "Let's go to Xiliang then, just consider it a trip!"
That was what he had originally told the people in the temple. Now he's really going on a journey. He's already gone to Xiliang. How could he not go on a journey?
However, Xiliang is the only matriarchal kingdom in Xuantian, so there's nothing wrong with going there to see it for yourself.
Seeing that they had no objections, Su Xuening moved closer to Pei Luo, hugged his arm, and said, "Thank goodness Master is alright this time!"
The events of the past life ultimately did not occur; her master was not killed. Does this mean that her master has escaped that calamity from the past life?
Moreover, they are about to go to Xiliang, and should be away from Dongchu for a while. Master should no longer die in the palace or at the hands of the Dongchu Imperial Guards.
"It's good that you're alright." Pei Luo affectionately rubbed Su Xuening's head, also feeling relieved.
He was extremely worried about the girl being trapped in the palace for the past few days, fearing that something might happen to her.
Thankfully, the girl is alright, and the baby in her womb is safe too.
Bai said with a smile, "It's so good that we're all alright!"
Now that they've left Dongchu, they're all safe for the time being. They're really lucky that they were all able to leave Dongchu safely this time.
Recalling the hardships of the past few days, the feeling of surviving a disaster made them smile at each other.
Yes, it's great that everyone is alright!
Suddenly remembering something, Bai slapped his thigh and said, "Have we forgotten someone?"
The group all looked at Bai Shi, wondering who she was talking about.
Bai hurriedly explained, "We just ran off to Xiliang without even informing Zhan'er. What if Zhan'er can't find us when he returns to the capital?"
Su Xuening thought they had forgotten someone, so she smiled and comforted them, "It's alright. As soon as we arrive in Xiliang, we'll write to Xuanyuan Zhan and tell him where we are so he won't worry about us."
Bai glanced at their current position in the clouds, so high up that sending a letter was obviously impossible: "This is the only way."
Bai then looked at Jinzhu and asked, "How long would it take us to get to the capital of Xiliang like this?"
If you were to take a horse-drawn carriage to the capital of Xiliang, it would take at least two or three months, if not half a year. It would take at least a month and a half to get to Xiguan, and then another month and a half to get from Xiguan to the capital of Xiliang.
They're fine, but Ning'er's belly can't wait that long.
This fire phoenix looks very fast; I wonder how long it would take to get to the capital of Xiliang by riding it.
Jinzhu smiled and patted the fire phoenix's neck: "The Vermilion Bird divine beast can travel a thousand miles a day, so we can reach the capital of Xiliang in a day."
"So fast!" Everyone was somewhat surprised.
I never expected this big bird to be so fast!
"Huff!" Fire Phoenix, its speed questioned, huffed again in dissatisfaction and sped up as if to show off.
Fortunately, its wings could protect it from the wind; otherwise, with its speed, they would have been blown away by the strong wind long ago.
Madam Bai was relieved: "That's wonderful. It should arrive in a day and won't delay Ning'er's delivery."
As soon as Bai finished speaking, she saw Su Xuening holding her big belly, her expression not quite right.
Seeing this, Bai frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Xuening held her belly and said stiffly, "I think... I'm going into labor."
"What?" Everyone panicked instantly and looked at Su Xuening with tension.
Pei Luo immediately grabbed Su Xuening's wrist and took her pulse.
Bai asked anxiously from the side, "What exactly happened? Did you have a miscarriage because you were chased by Xuan Yuan Yu and his men?"
Ning'er's due date hasn't arrived yet, there's still more than half a month left, how come she's going to give birth so soon?
After taking Su Xuening's pulse, Pei Luo's expression turned solemn: "The girl is indeed about to give birth, and it's premature."
Upon hearing this, Madam Bai panicked completely: "What should we do? We've already left the two midwives we hired in the capital. What do we do now?"
She had previously found two reliable midwives, but since they were on their way and the carriage couldn't accommodate so many people, they had to find a place to settle the midwives and Granny Shang first.
Now Ning'er is suddenly going into labor, and not only is there no midwife by her side, but even Granny Shang is not here. What are we going to do?
Seeing Bai Shi's anxiety, Su Xuening quickly comforted her: "I think I was so worried a few days ago that I had a miscarriage. Now that I'm safe, I suddenly lost my strength and couldn't hold on any longer to give birth. Mother, don't panic. The midwife isn't here, so please deliver the baby for me."
"Me?" Su Xuening told her not to panic, but Bai Shi was completely flustered.
How did she deliver the baby?
She's never delivered a baby before?
She doesn't understand anything!
Seeing Bai Shi's pale face, Su Xuening grabbed Bai Shi's hand: "Don't panic, with Master and the others here, nothing will happen. Besides, the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast is very fast. Maybe I'll reach the capital of Xiliang as soon as I start to act up. So don't rush, let's take it slow, nothing will happen."
Seeing this, Pei Luo comforted Bai Shi: "The girl is right. You should help her give birth. Maybe we'll reach the capital of Xiliang soon, where there will be midwives. Even if we don't reach the capital, there are still a few of us. We will make sure nothing happens to the girl."
Seeing Su Xuening's pale face and beads of sweat on her forehead, Su Yun'an hurriedly grabbed Bai Shi's hand: "Your Highness, please help my sister give birth quickly!"
Seeing that Su Xuening's labor had already begun, Bai gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll deliver the baby."
These are extraordinary times, and being on the back of this fiery phoenix, she can't care about anything else anymore.
Besides her, there was no one else here with experience in childbirth.
Bai looked at Jinzhu: "You come and help me."
"Yes." Jinzhu was also worried about Su Xuening, so she immediately agreed.
