"You've been away for quite long this time," said the Lord of Wu'an Army, his tone laden with concern. "Regardless of the difficulties, one must always face what ought to be faced. Avoiding it is not the best solution."
"If I could, I'd like to stay with Uncle Xing my entire life, at least I'll be very happy," said Zi Xuan in a low voice.
"Staying with me, or staying at Luoxue Peak?" The Lord of Wu'an Army asked with a slight smile.
"Of course it's... it's with Uncle Xing," Zi Xuan replied, bowing her head somewhat shyly.
"Alright, Uncle Xing won't make things difficult for you anymore," the Lord of Wu'an Army laughed.
"How much longer do I have?" Zi Xuan asked.
"Long Xiao has gone to Qing and Ji provinces, and he'll come to pick you up after meeting with Lord Shenjian and Marquis Dingwu." After a pause, the Lord of Wu'an Army added, "At most... a month."
