"Hao, why do you want to go to the barracks?" I asked in a low voice, looking down. "The barracks are tough, you know. Isn't it better to stay in the palace with your sister?"
Hao blinked his big eyes and said, "But I also want to be as handsome as Feng Su." Hao then turned to look at You and said, "Brother You Yuan, I will definitely not be bewitched. Please let me stay in the barracks."
"Let me think about it." You didn't immediately agree to Hao's request.
"good."
As soon as their conversation ended, I turned to look at Feng Su, whose sparring session had also concluded.
"Let's go over there."
Feng Su looked at the three of us with delight, "Master, why are you all here?"
"I've come to see you." I flashed a bright smile.
Feng Su scratched his head sheepishly, "Master, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"
"No." I touched Feng Su's golden hair and looked at her with satisfaction. "You're amazing."
"Master, I will definitely protect you this time." Feng Su was a head taller than me, looking down at me with a firm gaze.
Looking at Feng Su, who had matured considerably, I felt a warmth in my heart. Feng Su had done all this for me. "Feng Su, thank you."
"This is what I should do."
"Xin'er, I'll go take care of my work first. You and Feng Su stay here for now."
"Go ahead."
After You left, Feng Su led Hao and me to wander around the military camp.
The barracks were much larger than I had imagined; it stretched as far as the eye could see, and soldiers were training everywhere.
"This is just the most elite corps belonging to Sun and Moon City. There are also local troops of all sizes in other cities in the Abyss," Feng Su explained as she led us on a tour of the barracks.
"Is Yu usually busy here?"
Feng Su shook her head, "Besides inspecting this place, You Yuan also needs to inspect the military camps in the other cities one by one."
Is it that hard?
"Why didn't You just send his men to patrol?"
I remember that Liu Lieyu and You had never cared so much about things in the barracks before; they always gave orders to others to do.
"You Yuan is being extra cautious this time, fearing that something might go wrong and all his efforts would be in vain."
It turns out that although You seemed calm and confident in front of me, she was actually quite cautious in private.
In contrast to my heavy heart, Hao became more and more excited as he watched.
Looking into Hao's bright eyes, I thought to myself, Hao's determination to come to the barracks is even stronger this time.
"Brother Feng Su~"
Hao actually called Feng Su "brother"? I looked at Hao in surprise as his little hand tugged at Feng Su's clothes.
Feng Su was equally shocked. Hao rarely called Feng Su "brother," usually addressing her by her given name.
What are you going to do?
"Brother Feng Su, could you please ask Brother You Yuan if I could come to the military camp as well?"
"So you wanted something from me." Feng Su ruffled Hao's hair. "Want to come to the barracks?"
Hao nodded emphatically, looking at Feng Su with anticipation, "I want to come."
Feng Su pondered for a moment before speaking, "It's not impossible for you to come. We're in need of manpower right now. Let me tell You Yuan that you can start as a lowly soldier, how about that?"
"Thank you, Brother Feng Su." Hao was overjoyed at the prospect of a chance, not caring that he was just a lowly soldier.
Sigh, now I'm completely alone in the palace. I sighed and started looking around, wondering when You would return.
Feng Su looked up and saw that I was absent-minded, so she said, "Master, You Yuan will probably be gone for a while. Should I take you to rest for a bit first?"
"good."
Feng Su led me to a simple tent. "Master, this is my resting place in the barracks. Let's wait for You Yuan here."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Feng Su's resting place was not only simple on the outside, but also very minimalist inside, with only a bed, a table and a few stools as the furniture.
We had barely sat down when You arrived.
"So fast, are you all done?" I heard from Feng Su that You not only had to check this military camp but also other military camps in the Abyss. Did you finish so many things so quickly?
"I'm done with work." You stopped behind me and placed her hands on my shoulders. "Didn't I promise to go to Sun and Moon City with you?"
I turned back to look at You's still handsome face and said, "I'd better not go."
"What's wrong?"
I looked away. You wasn't as nonchalant as she appeared in front of me. It seemed that Liu Lieyu's matter had put a lot of pressure on You. How could I bear to let You accompany me on a trip?
"I'm tired, let's go back and rest."
You was behind me, so I couldn't see her face, but I heard her reply "okay".
Strangely enough, as the days passed and You said that all the preparations for the Abyss were quite complete, there was not a single movement from Liu Lieyu's side.
Even You can't figure out what Liu Lieyu is planning. Has Liu Lieyu really come to his senses and decided to let us go?
During this time, I've been secretly calculating how likely Liu Lieyu is to give up. You is much more relaxed now than before. In his words, since we don't know what Liu Lieyu is planning anyway, we should just do what we need to do now that we've made the necessary preparations. We can't let this matter make us anxious all the time.
When she had some free time, You accompanied me to explore the entire Sun and Moon City. Once, we even met Man Jiao'er.
When Jiao'er saw us, she didn't recognize me. She was just wondering what was going on. It was only after I went up to her and greeted her that she recognized me.
Yue Jiao still clung to Man Jiao'er all day long, but because the Man family had You looking after them, Yue Jiao wouldn't make any rash moves. You had also spoken with Yue Jiao, telling him to take it slow and not rush things.
After I reunited with my beloved daughter, this vast palace gained another regular visitor.
A few more uneventful days passed. One day, You was having a meal with me when Feng Su rushed in in a hurry.
"Feng Su, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Seeing Feng Su's flustered expression, I quickly pulled her over and served her a bowl of soup.
Feng Su picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, and said after a moment, "Liu Lieyu has sent someone."
"What?" I almost choked on the news. Liu Lieyu had been silent for a long time, so why did he suddenly reappear?
"What happened?" You reached out a hand and gently patted my back to help me catch my breath, asking softly.
Feng Su has now become You's most important helper, and You has entrusted Feng Su with many tasks.
Feng Su took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to You, saying, "This is a letter from Liu Lieyu."
You glanced at it briefly, then put it away.
"You, what did it say up there?"
"Liu Lieyu said that the Abyss is no longer what it used to be and has a good order, so he specially invited representatives from all sides to visit the Abyss."
"Liu Lieyu is coming here?" Sure enough, Liu Lieyu wouldn't let us off so easily.
They say they're coming to visit, but it's probably not that simple.
