An Moxue stood still in the night, watching Fifty-Eight's departing figure. Her gaze was distant, as if bidding farewell, reminiscing, or offering blessings... until he disappeared from sight and only darkness remained before her, she turned and left, only the smile on her lips betraying her good mood.
In the darkness, An Moxue used her lightness technique to fly back, but a gust of wind swept by and she disappeared without a trace.
Back in the car, she started it and drove off. By the time she was out of the border area, it was already broad daylight. She found a secluded spot and sent a message to Xu Qingfeng—"Safe crossing." After waiting a while without receiving a reply, she put away the radio.
She was overjoyed when she drove up to the courtyard.
"Sister Jido!"
"Sister Jido!"
They all vied to give her a warm hug.
"Wow! You're all a head taller than me! You didn't mention it on the phone! You're all so tall! You've all grown into handsome guys! Are any girls pursuing you? Do you have a girl you like? If you do, just say so! I'll give you dating expenses."
The group of people all looked at her with a helpless and resigned expression.
She felt a great sense of accomplishment looking at the handsome men in front of her, all of whom were taller than her. Who would have thought that they were just little kids a few years ago?
"Come on, let's go inside and talk!" They embraced and went into the living room.
After sitting down, Xia poured her a cup of hot tea, placed it in her hand, smiled, and returned to her seat.
An Moxue praised, "Our little brother Xia is getting more and more thoughtful. He's just the right amount of warm water for your hands." Then she held up the cup in her hand.
"Xia, you'll graduate from university in a year. What are your plans?"
A-Xia answered without hesitation, "I will follow my sister's arrangements."
An Moxue laughed and scolded, "Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out? Alright, then just wait! I heard there's going to be political reforms in Lan Kingdom, which might reopen border trade. I'm thinking of setting up a border trade company then, and you can be in charge. What do you think? But the exact timing is hard to say; we have to follow the policies. If you graduate by then and the policy isn't right, I'll arrange for you to go to other places to gain experience first. What do you think?"
As for Ah Xia, she still said the same thing: "I'll listen to my sister."
An Moxue said to A Xia, "Your matter is settled."
She turned to look at them and said, "I heard from A-Jia's master that he's very good at cooking. You don't need to worry. Once he's finished his apprenticeship, I'll open a restaurant or something, and he can manage it."
"Gera, Natosha, Kima, how are your studies going?"
"Copula University is no problem!" the three answered in unison.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. I hope you'll become my junior soon. That day is just around the corner."
A-Xia asked, "Sister, did you come back at this time because of the food?"
"That's true, and that's not it either. Seeing you is one reason, but these three have exams coming up! As parents, we have to come and check on them, right?"
Several people couldn't hide their smiles. "Wow! You're so happy! Your mouths are practically stretched to your eyes."
"Of course I'm happy! Seeing my sister is the happiest thing. Sister, are you alright?" Gela asked cautiously at the end.
"Are you talking about bidding for oil wells?" An Moxue asked.
"Mmm," he responded softly.
Several people looked at her nervously.
"Don't worry, do I look like I'm in trouble? How's your kung fu practice going lately? Have you been neglecting it?" She scanned them with her eyes.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm watching them! None of them are slacking off," Xia said.
She looked at them and asked, "Shall we practice for a bit?" An Moxue rubbed her hands together, eager to try.
"Hmm...okay!" Everyone was on tenterhooks; their older sister really didn't hold back when she hit people, and it hurt a lot.
Seeing their expressions, An Moxue burst out laughing, each laugh louder than the last, until she was laughing uncontrollably.
"Sister hasn't eaten yet! I'll go cook!" Xia was the first to run away.
"I'll go help."
"I'll go too."
Natosha and Kima left with a single sentence and then disappeared.
Leguer was left sitting there awkwardly, wanting to leave but feeling she had missed the best opportunity. If she didn't leave, she was afraid her sister would continue to laugh at her. She was really at a loss!
An Moxue's Tea Talk: "This is boring. You're still the best, Gela."
What could Gela say? She could only endure it.
"Sister, after so many assassination attempts, you really weren't injured!" Grala was still worried.
"No, there were some close calls, but no serious injuries. However, some members of my guard did lose their lives. As the people I trust most, you will all be able to stand on your own and do great things for me in the future, so you must hone your skills to better protect yourselves from harm. Do you understand?"
"I know, please don't worry, sister, I will."
"We should also tell them that living well is the foundation, and everything else is secondary."
"We've always known that."
"That's good. No girls are really pursuing you?" An Moxue looked at him and asked again jokingly.
She noticed that Gela shifted her eyes somewhat awkwardly, and then stopped asking further questions.
She knew it! These kids have grown up to be incredibly handsome, how could no one like them!
Gela didn't want to talk about this topic, so she changed the subject and asked, "Sister, what major do you think we should choose in college?"
"Is there anything you like?"
"I just want to grow up so I won't be poor anymore, and I can make money."
“Great, very practical. Then choose the business school. It has many programs, such as managerial economics, finance, economic law, business administration, and financial management. You can go to the school in advance to inquire and choose the one you want to study the most as a required course, and there are also elective courses available.”
"If I listen to my sister, can I go with her this time?"
An Moxue thought about her recent situation and said, "No, it's too dangerous. Even if you go to Puda University, don't say you know me, and don't contact me. It will bring you danger. Before you have the ability to protect yourselves, it's best not to let anyone know that we are related, as that will bring you unimaginable danger. However, I will ask the professors and teachers at the school who are on good terms with me to take care of you."
Why did Gela have a bad feeling after hearing Sister Jido's last sentence?
"Sister Jido! Gela! The food is almost ready! Come out and eat!" A-Xia's voice came from the kitchen.
An Moxue stood up and pulled Gela outside. "Come on, let's go eat. I haven't had a proper meal in days. All I want now is a bowl of hot soup and a hot meal!"
