Chapter 401: Chapter 399: Arrangements Before Departure_1
The Master is the descendant of the national hero of Duke of Zhen’s mansion. Wang Meng and Shitou were thrilled and proud. They held their heads high wherever they went, with their backs straight. They were so proud, they wished they could write the word “disciple” on their faces.
Seeing this, Su Qingluo found it amusing. She assigned tasks to them, asked them to inform her classmates and friends about her return, so as to avoid guests coming to visit in vain.
The two disciples joyfully accepted the task, each riding a horse, one named Black Wind and the other Soybean, and galloped away like the wind.
With the company of her biological daughter, Ye Xue’e’s health was recovering rapidly. Her complexion was rosy and her eyes were full of joy.
After consulting with her mother, Lin Jinyu decided to set her return in mid-October, so that her younger sister would have enough time to say goodbye to her friends and pack her belongings.
Su Qingluo agreed with all her heart.
Indeed, she had a lot of issues to handle.
The secret transactions with Luo Zhan and others, the purchase and transportation of grain and supplies, were all managed by her without anyone’s knowledge.
Before heading to the Capital City, she had to entrust reliable people to maintain contact with Little Kingfisher so that she could leave with peace of mind.
After much deliberation, she had decided to reveal the secret about Little Kingfisher and Mystic Canyon to Second Uncle Lin.
Second Uncle Lin’s leg injury was not completely healed yet, and it would take some time for him to return to his former glory.
He was resting in the countryside, which was a great excuse to stay in Woniu Village for an extended time.
He would continue her previous method of secretly amassing supplies and covertly supporting the Lin Clan’s army at the front line, while coordinating with Luo Zhan and others and Little Kingfisher.
Second Uncle Lin was meticulous and cautious by nature and was the perfect candidate for this task.
After a half-day secret conversation with her uncle, his performance did not disappoint Su Qingluo.
By the time she left, there was an unspoken understanding between them.
In appreciation of Su Qingluo’s support for the Lin Clan’s soldiers, Second Uncle Lin gave her his personal sword as a token of his gratitude.
The sword was a symbol of the highest honor from the Lin Clan’s army who had been fighting hard in the cold borderlands.
Su Qingluo gladly accepted the sword. Holding it made her blood boil with heroic spirit.
She swore on the spot that one day she would use this sword to uphold the prestige of the Fengqi Empire and decapitate the enemy general, to make the Lin Clan’s soldiers proud.
Upon hearing her declaration, Second Uncle Lin’s eyes dimmed for a moment. He fondly ruffled her head but could not bear to tell her the harsh truth.
The main line of the Lin Clan was not allowed to go to the battlefield.
This sword in her hand might never have the chance to decapitate an enemy general or accompany her on the battlefield in her entire life.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Wan’er, Sun Yuwei, Mu Wanrou, and Tian Qi along with her other companions, they all showed up without any exceptions.
The three girls were wiping their tears with handkerchiefs, sobbing, not wanting to part with her.
On the other hand, Tian Qi and the other boys behaved in a completely opposite manner. Like Wang Meng and Shitou, they were puffed up with pride, boasting to everyone about their close relationship with their boss.
They only stopped short of getting ‘Little Brother’ tattooed on their foreheads.
As Su Qingluo was going to the Capital City, the Little Prince naturally would not stay in the countryside alone and would also go back with her.
Xu Yanru and Zhang Wenlin, the two teachers, regretfully informed the ten elders who accompanied the reading that they have received the Empress’s secret orders to discontinue their tutoring duties.
The two female officials were also about to return to their posts at the Imperial Court.
The ten elder tutors and Su Qingluo had lived together for more than a year, and they had gone from initial disdain to sincere admiration, developing deep friendships with each other.
Naturally, the imminent departure brought sadness and longing.
Being free-spirited, Su Qingluo readily promised to keep in touch with them.
The Little Prince also promised considerately that he would remember every one of them.
Only then did the ten tutors bid farewell to them with contentment, but at the same time reluctant to part.
