442 Departure
Jingzhai gently shook his head and said softly, "Please keep this item safe, Elder Hua. If Elder Hua is willing, I will take your grandson and granddaughter away from the royal city to the border city soon, and I will take good care of them. Elder Hua, please rest assured."
For some reason, I thought of my lover. I wonder how the barbecue tastes.
He added softly, "If Elder Hua is willing, he may leave with us. This matter may not end here."
With wise eyes, Grandpa Hua looked lovingly at his grandchildren. His gaze was filled with warmth and affection, as if time had stood still, and only he and his grandchildren existed in that moment.
A gentle smile appeared on his lips.
The siblings walked over quietly and looked at their grandfather.
She gently stroked her grandchildren's heads, her eyes filled with expectations and hopes for them. She hoped they would grow up healthy and happy, and that they would have a bright future.
She nodded gently and asked softly, "In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness."
He then took out a box slightly larger than the books, which was a bit old, and gently presented both of them, bowing and saying, "These are the only two things I still have some value. They are some insights I have recorded over the years. Your Highness may refer to them."
Keeping him around now would be a disaster. Please, Your Highness, accept this; otherwise, Your Highness would indeed be placed in danger.
Jingzhai no longer refused, gently put them away, and said softly, "Okay, I will keep these two items for Elder Hua. These insights will be of great use to me. I can exchange them for corresponding resources."
This gentian root possesses miraculous and immeasurable effects; its value can be realized through future exchanges.
Elder Hua nodded. This item was indeed difficult to handle, and it was also a secret that he possessed it, as his previous alchemy had driven him out of the Pill Hall.
It seems that Elder Wang's visit now is all a test to confirm whether he truly possesses this treasure.
Since there was no direct robbery, it seems the reputation of the Pill Hall still played a role. Furthermore, this person's background is probably not as powerful as one might imagine.
As for why he revealed his skills, could it be that he hadn't paid much attention to certain toxic substances in his daily life, which led people to make that connection?
Gently dismiss these thoughts; this matter will be irrelevant to me from now on. My only wish is to live a little longer and take care of my grandchildren for a little longer.
Jingzhai, seeing that the matter was settled, rose to take his leave, saying, "Elder Hua, please pack your things today, and we will leave today or tomorrow."
You don't need to bring too many things, and you don't need to bring these medicinal herbs either; they have plenty there.
She then bowed slightly to General Yun and said, "Is there anything you would like to tell them, General Yun?"
General Yun shook his head, a hint of longing in his voice, and said softly, "Tell them I'm fine. They don't need to worry. Just take good care of themselves."
"Okay." Jingzhai nodded gently. She and Granny Hong turned and left.
General Yun nodded gently, watching the two leave, and said softly, "It's a good thing that Elder Hua is going to the border city. After that, you can look for my daughter. I will send a message to inform you in advance."
Old Hua prepared to bow and say, "Thank you very much, old friend."
Elder Yun gently helped them up and said in a low voice, "Don't leave the courtyard today. Pack your things simply. I'll stay here for the next two days and wait for you to leave."
Hua Lao nodded slightly and thanked him in a low voice. Then, he said softly to the two children who were still in his eyes, "Don't leave the courtyard today. Don't open the door for anyone except His Highness just now."
Let's tidy up the house quickly; we'll be leaving in the next couple of days.
"Okay, Grandpa." The granddaughter nodded obediently, while her slightly bewildered younger brother went inside to tidy up.
Yesterday, Lian Xiuxiu entered cultivation in an instant, making rapid progress. After breakfast this morning, she quietly bid farewell to her lover and took Ji Xixi to the spiritual land to cultivate. With Ji Xixi there, there would be no problems with her cultivation.
Fanghua, Huayu, Weilan, Huifu, Bairong, and several others also rushed over. Cultivation makes one oblivious to time; these individuals had broken through yesterday, and today was a rare opportunity for further cultivation.
Wanqing and Rourou had to take care of the spiritual plants and refine pills, so naturally they didn't have time.
Han Linling has already led Yan Zhanyi and the others to select a site for the workshop and has temporarily disappeared.
Liu Qianqian, relieved of her lovesickness, returned home before dawn, while Wei Qinghui went back to the gathering place in Weijia Village.
They left without the slightest hesitation, but since they were all in the city, it shouldn't be anything serious.
Just as Yun Qing was about to leave, a large hand gently pulled her back.
Yun Shuni and Yun Su smiled softly, and quietly prepared to leave.
But in the blink of an eye, he was nestled in a broad, warm embrace.
Yun Qing, her face flushed, whispered, "My love, grab them both."
A long, flowing dress, a delicate face, and a slender waist.
He said in a low voice, "Are your two younger sisters doing well at home? It rained heavily yesterday; I'm going back to check on them."
Yun Su chuckled softly, "Sister, you don't need to go back. With Blackie and Whiteie there, you'll be fine. However, Ghost Three was late yesterday; something must have happened."
Yun Shuni leaned against him, enjoying the warm breath, and closed her eyes comfortably.
The vast inner courtyard was now empty; no one else had come. The deep mansion was eerily quiet.
They whispered softly in Yun Qing's ear, and all three of them blushed.
Yunqing's boudoir was decorated in pink, resembling peach blossoms in spring.
Three mini skirts in different colors.
She whispered something softly in Yunqing's ear, and Yunqing nodded gently as she left.
A disturbing sound arose.
It took two hours for things to quiet down.
In the territory of the Red King, by the small pond, She Yunqin stood lost in thought, surrounded by a scene of decay.
A bleak wind blows, carrying the faint fragrance of withered lotus leaves. Although they are all withered and yellow, the veins of the leaves are clearly visible. They were once as green as jade, as if it were just yesterday. Next year, the cycle will come again, and the pond will be full of lotus leaves, but not the people of this year.
The quiet cottage is rustic and serene. The wooden door is tightly closed, waiting to be opened by its owner. The pond water is crystal clear, with a few small fish swimming around, a touch of vitality amidst the tranquility.
At this moment, it seems as if I have forgotten the hazy memories and the beautiful times of the past. Now, only the sound of the piano can soothe my empty soul. Some people are willing to dream, while others are unwilling to recall the past.
It's rare to have a few days when a few casual friends play the piano together. The strings leap and dance, as lively as a mountain stream, and the music is melodious, like the tapping of a clear spring on a rock, or the howling of the wind in the mountains, vigorous and powerful.
It is beyond words, and need not be said. A single glance is enough to convey the feeling of having known each other for a thousand years. No words are required; the music fades away, and it is time to leave.
The brief moment of liveliness has left me with a sense of longing.
Birds flew away in fright, leaves rustled even in the still air, and a figure in red appeared, wielding a large Guan Dao (a type of halberd).
