Xiao Ning took Nangong Luoyu's hand with a smile on his face and slowly walked in front of everyone. He looked at Nangong Luoyu gently and said softly:
"Master Nangong, it's getting late today. How about staying here for one night and then setting off back to the capital tomorrow?"
Nangong Luoyu shook her head slightly, with a smile on her lips, and responded softly:
"No, Ning'er, the eldest princess in your family must be extremely worried right now, so I'd better go back early. Besides, this place is not too far from the capital."
Xiao Ning nodded after hearing this, showing his understanding. He gently opened his arms, hugged Nangong Luoyu's delicate body tightly in his arms, then gently leaned his head on her shoulder that exuded a faint fragrance, and murmured:
"Well, in that case, Master, you must be more careful along the way and don't make me worry."
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the two of them just hugged each other quietly, enjoying this moment of warmth and tranquility. After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Luoyu finally reluctantly let go of Xiao Ning's hands, turned around, and her eyes swept over everyone present one by one, finally stopping at Yourong Rouxue.
She solemnly told Yourong Rouxue, "Sect Master, you must protect Ning'er well! Don't let him suffer any injustice or harm."
Rong Rouxue heard this and waved her hand without hesitation, answering with a solemn oath: "Don't worry! As long as I am here, no one will touch Ning Er's hair. If anyone dares to offend him, even if that person has ten heads, it will not be enough to lose them!"
Nangong Luoyu felt relieved when she heard Yourong Rouxue's decisive words, and couldn't help but chuckle. Then, she moved to Chu Qian's side, opened her arms again, gave Chu Qian a warm hug, and said with concern:
"Qian'er, you have to take good care of yourself, pay more attention to your physical condition, and don't overwork yourself."
Chu Qian reached out and patted her on the back, smiling and saying, "Okay, it's not like we won't see each other again in the future, so go ahead and don't worry!"
Nangong Luoyu slowly loosened her tightly clenched arms, as if she had let go of a huge rock in her heart. Then, she whispered a few words to the people around her, and then she flashed away from the Xiao Mansion like a light swallow.
Xiao Ning stood there quietly, his eyes closely following Nangong Luoyu's figure that gradually went away until it finally disappeared into the vast night. His eyes revealed a trace of indescribable complex emotions, some reluctance, some concern, but more of it was perhaps helplessness.
After Nangong Luoyu completely disappeared from his sight, Xiao Ning slowly turned around and shifted his attention to Er Ning who was held by Chu Qian. At this time, Er Ning was staring at everyone with wide eyes and an innocent face.
"Mother, Sister Rouxue, how could you do this? Haven't you ever considered Erning's feelings?" Xiao Ning frowned and said to Chu Qian and the others with a little dissatisfaction.
After hearing Xiao Ning's words, Chu Qian and Rou Xue suddenly woke up from their dreams and realized that they had actually forgotten Er Ning. Especially when they saw Er Ning's pitiful appearance, they couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Oh my, look at my memory. I actually forgot about the little guy!"
Chu Qian slapped her forehead and said with regret.
"How about...let's give it another bath?"
However, before Chu Qian finished speaking, Er Ning, who had been quietly in her hands, seemed to suddenly understand her intention. Er Ning struggled desperately, trying to break free from Chu Qian's restraints. Finally, it successfully escaped Chu Qian's control and ran into Xiao Ning's arms, where it hid and trembled, as if it was afraid of being caught and taken to the bath again.
Seeing this, Xiao Ning couldn't help but smile awkwardly, then gently stroked Er Ning's head and comforted him:
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother won't give you a bath again."
As he spoke, he looked up at Chu Qian and the others, and then said,
"It's getting late. Let's get some rest. We have to set off for Yaochi tomorrow."
When everyone heard this, they all agreed in unison. Then they turned around and walked towards their own houses. Under the cover of night, everything was silent, but everyone's heart was full of expectations for tomorrow, as if the upcoming new day would bring endless surprises and possibilities.
In the sacred place of Yaochi, there is a magnificent palace. Beside the palace, there grows a fiery red and lush phoenix tree. Its gorgeous flowers and emerald green leaves set off each other, making it particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, a delicate and graceful figure was standing under the tree. She was wearing a light pink dress, and her figure was graceful, like a fairy descending from the earth. She raised her jade hand lightly, chanted something, and cast a spell. As she moved, the water in a clear stream not far away seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, flowing continuously to the roots of the phoenix tree, nourishing the land.
After watering, Qing Ge stopped what she was doing and gazed tenderly at the growing tree in front of her. Seeing it grow vigorously under her careful care, Qing Ge couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile on her face, and that smile was as warm as the warm spring sun.
You know, it's been nearly a year since this Fengzhi tree was planted. Recently, Qing Ge has come to take care of it almost every day, watering, fertilizing, pruning branches and leaves... She does every job meticulously.
It is for this reason that this Phoenix Tree can grow so vigorously. Judging from the current situation, it will surely bloom with beautiful flowers and produce rich and sweet fruits in the near future.
