It took them another half a month to travel from the border to the capital. During this time, they faced the same scene every day.
Wherever they went, the local people would always welcome them with the utmost enthusiasm.
All I heard along the way were shouts of gratitude and admiration.
"Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!"
When they finally returned to the capital, the Empress, who had fully recovered, led her senior officials to wait outside the city to welcome them.
This honor once again filled the Nie family members with emotion.
"Wushuang greets Master!"
Upon seeing Jun Feijue and his entourage, Zhan Wushuang, who was following behind the Empress, immediately flew out and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.
Before she met Jun Feijue, she was already used to living alone as a hostage.
But now, after only a month apart, she misses him terribly.
The days that the master and his disciples spent together were so memorable and warm. If she weren't afraid of missing out on Jun Feijue and the others, she would have set off to find them long ago.
Without realizing it, she had completely integrated into the group.
She was also very certain that she would follow Jun Feijue wherever he went and would never leave him!
"Um."
Having not seen each other for many days, Jun Feijue was very happy to see Zhan Wushuang. With a blank expression, he reached out and gently touched her head.
"Master..."
When Jun Feijue's head was touched like that, Zhan Wushuang's heart melted instantly. If it weren't for Di Moyu's presence, she would have wanted to hug Jun Feijue tightly and kiss him passionately.
My master is so...warm and adorable!!!
"Imperial Advisor, who are these gentlemen?"
After the master and his disciples finished speaking, the Empress stepped forward and asked the Nie family members.
"Xiaoya's great-grandfather's house."
Jun Feijue said calmly, "Arrange this accommodation for you."
"Cough cough..."
Originally, Old Master Nie was looking on nervously, preparing to step forward and pay his respects to the Empress, but after hearing Jun Feijue's words, he choked on his own saliva.
Even though you are the Imperial Advisor, isn't it a bit too impolite of you to speak to the Empress like that?
The tone wasn't one of discussion; it sounded more like an order.
I heard this empress is already a celestial being, is it really okay for her to be so arrogant?
"So you are the great-grandfather of the Goddess of War, it's a pleasure to meet you."
However, the Empress's behavior completely baffled Old Master Nie. She didn't mind at all and instead greeted him with great enthusiasm.
"There just happens to be an empty house next to the women's residence of the Ji family. It's a three-courtyard house. How about you make do with it for now, sir?"
"ah?"
Grandpa Nie had never seen such a kind and unpretentious monarch before. He was momentarily stunned and hesitated for a long time before nodding somewhat blankly and saying, "Anything...anything is fine."
"If the old man is willing, that's good."
The Empress didn't mind Old Master Nie's lapse in composure. She smiled and nodded, then ordered someone to lead the Nie family members, who were also in a daze, away.
After settling the Nie family, the master and his disciples went to the Imperial Preceptor's residence with the Empress.
At first, Jun Feijue refused to rebuild the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, since they were going to the Empire soon and wouldn't be living there anymore.
However, the Empress insisted that the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was a symbol, and it had to be built even if they didn't live there. Besides, if Zhan Wushuang wanted to come back and visit in the future, it would be good to provide them with a place to stay.
Jun Feijue thought it made sense and finally agreed.
"My lord!"
As soon as Jun Feijue and his group arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, they saw Zhen Yun waving at them with a fawning smile, accompanied by Yu Xu.
