Early in the morning, Ruo Xuan told her family she would stay overnight at the mountain villa.
Xuanbao had too much to take care of at the villa, the various bottles and jars she tinkered with were all made there, and the mushrooms she grew were cultivated there as well. Moreover, she had to attend classes at the villa every day.
The villa was safer than the village, and as her whole family was busy with farming and preparing for an enemy attack, the Ruo Family had no objections.
Then, after nightfall, Ruo Xuan quietly made her way to Xuanyuan Que's room.
Xuanyuan Que was meditating, and when Little Xuanhua sneaked in, he didn't bother with her and pretended to be in deep meditation with his eyes closed.
He knew exactly what she was up to by choosing to stay at the villa and not return to the village tonight.
But it was too dangerous.
Nanyu Island was over two hundred li away from Shaxi County, not counting the water journey, after all, there was a sea to cross.
