"Once the war is over, you can go back whenever you want."
Qiu Yanling, along with Ma Yi, entered at the same time.
They followed Qin Susu and sat down at the next table.
Ling Ba's gaze was fixed on Han Jin's single leg as soon as he entered.
Mayi is also one of them.
She paused slightly, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural, but she managed to maintain her composure.
"You're all alright, that's wonderful." Jiang Nian'er's face lit up with joy upon seeing Qiu Yan and the other two safe and sound.
Jiang Cai'er and Han Jin, the couple, also thought that Qiu Yan and the other two had been arrested and imprisoned by Lu Shijun.
Han Jin and Ling Ba exchanged glances, both lost in thought.
Jiang Nian'er looked at Mayi, whose face was veiled in white gauze.
"This person is..." Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be from the Central Plains.
Mayi placed one hand on her chest and bowed slightly towards Jiang Nian'er and the other two.
"My name is Mayi, and I'm Xiaoyan's friend."
Mayi smiled, and Jiang Nian'er and the other two smiled back.
Jiang Cai'er and her husband both glanced at Mayi with curiosity. Jiang Cai'er asked with a smile:
"Miss Qiu, when did you meet a girl from the Western Regions?"
Qiu Yan replied, "We just met yesterday."
Mayi nodded to the three of them, then smiled at Qiu Yan:
"So, your surname is Qiu."
In the Western Regions, people don't have surnames. She called Xiaoyan the same way she called Qin Susu.
Qin Susu thought to herself, "Princess Mayi's memory is worrying."
"Where did you go last night?" Jiang Cai'er asked Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan: "We've been playing hide-and-seek with Lu Shijun."
"Sigh, you've all suffered." Jiang Cai'er sighed, looking utterly helpless.
Then, she looked at Qin Susu:
"What did you mean when you said we could go back whenever we wanted?"
Qin Susu: "Our arrival went smoothly, so if you want to go home, you can do so now. However, it's better to forget it now, as things are in chaos."
Speaking of the chaos of war, Han Jin glanced at Ling Ba.
"Brother, you have an extraordinary appearance. Have you ever served in the military?"
"Good eye." Qin Susu looked incredulous.
Qiu Yan stopped chatting and went to the guest room on the second floor.
Ling Ba nodded.
How do you know that?
“People who have served in the military have a steady, strong gait; their way of walking is different.” Han Jin’s eyes were full of envy and regret.
"Either Northern Qi or Dongjin will win. Our homeland is gone, and things have changed. No matter what, we in Western Qin can never go back to what we were before. We can never go back."
Ling Ba: "Don't be so pessimistic. Once the war is over, you can go home."
Han Jin looked at his single leg and silently shook his head.
He wondered, given how he had come to this, was there any way he could go back?
Even if I go back, will my old relatives still be there?
Would they be frightened if they saw themselves?
"I heard that a large number of soldiers have been discovered outside the borders of Lu Shi. Have you heard about this?" Han Jin asked Ling Ba.
Ling Ba chuckled inwardly: "I've heard about it."
Qin Susu: "How could I not have heard? You don't know, it was because of those soldiers that the three of us barely escaped death last night..."
Qin Susu began to talk incessantly... Mayi listened from the side, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking her head, her little face turning red and white in turns.
On the second floor, Qiu Yan glanced around and knocked on Vera's door.
Receiving no response, she knocked on the door of Ap's room.
Still no response.
Qiu Yan couldn't help but wonder, with the world in chaos outside, where could Master Vera have gone?
