After taking the medicine for a few days, Yi'er's health has almost fully recovered.
At that moment, he and his master were having dinner at the only inn in town.
Having learned from his previous experience, and now that he is still in the territory of Bei Li, where dangers lurk everywhere, Qin Buyu dares not let Yi'er out of his sight for even a moment.
"Master, when will Imperial Uncle and Sister Jin be able to return to Great Chu?" Yi'er asked. He had only seen Sister Jin once before they parted ways.
"Once they finish their business, they will return to Da Chu. Judging by the time it takes, it should be soon."
It's already November, and Xiao Jin and the others will definitely be heading back to Da Chu to celebrate the New Year.
"Yes, Master, let's go back to the capital together for the New Year," Yi'er sincerely invited.
In a child's mind, the more people there are during the Lunar New Year, the more lively it is.
He missed not only his uncle and Sister Jin, but also his grandmother and the others.
"We disciples of Qingyue Mountain do not..." Qin Buyu stopped speaking as if listening to something.
Seeing her master like this, Yi'er wisely stopped talking, quietly ate her meal, and pricked up her little ears to imitate him, trying to hear something.
But after listening for a long time, he couldn't understand anything. Seeing his master's serious expression, he didn't dare to ask.
"Yi'er, eat quickly," Qin Buyu urged.
Yi'er immediately picked up the bowl and ate all the rice in two gulps. She then took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and said, "Master, I'm done eating."
"Let's go!" Qin Buyu no longer hesitated, took Yi'er's hand, and walked out of the inn.
As soon as they stepped out of the inn, the two were blocked at the entrance by a group of people.
Wuyan Town is not a large town, and when the townspeople saw this scene, they all hid.
The group that blocked Qin Buyu and his apprentice were dressed in the uniforms of the Northern Li Imperial Palace guards; who would dare to provoke them if they were ordinary people?
The leader, mounted on horseback, looked down at the master and disciple. "Sect Leader Qin, I have long admired your name. I have never had the chance to meet you before. I never expected to meet you in Bei Li today. It is truly an honor."
"Such a rare opportunity! How about we, Sect Leader Qin, visit Jingqiang together?"
The speaker was none other than Prince Qin, who had been chasing after Qin Buyu all the way here.
Qin Buyu coldly looked at Prince Qin, "There are many affairs at Qingyue Mountain, and I should return as soon as possible. I can only regret that I cannot repay Prince Qin's kindness. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit you in person."
Despite being rejected, Qin Wang was not angry and said with a smile, "Sect Leader Qin, the journey to Great Chu is long and the weather is cold. Wouldn't it be better to return to Jing Qiang with me and go back to Great Chu next spring?"
Qin Buyu pulled Yi'er along, saying, "There's no need for Prince Qin to worry about this. Farewell."
Upon hearing this, all of the loyalist men drew their swords and blocked the two men's path.
Qin Buyu glanced at Qin Wang, "What does Qin Wang mean by this?"
"Sect Leader Qin, I am merely extending a sincere invitation to you to visit Jingqiang. Sect Leader Qin should be a courteous person, so please don't refuse a polite invitation and end up making a mistake." The Prince's voice turned cold.
Qin Buyu looked around at the people surrounding them. There weren't many, but there were also quite a few, about thirty people.
Qin Buyu lowered his head and looked at Yi'er, asking, "Yi'er, are you scared?"
Yi'er shook her head, her big eyes shining brightly, "Master, Yi'er isn't afraid!"
After being kidnapped and imprisoned in a dark underground room, Yi'er's courage grew considerably.
He wasn't afraid before, but now that his master is by his side, he feels even less scared.
Qin Buya let go of Yi'er's hand and gently patted his head. "Yi'er, hide to the side later, be careful not to hurt yourself."
“Okay!” Yi’er nodded emphatically.
He knew very well that he was still young and no match for these adults. He had to protect himself and not distract his master.
