Yi Mu’er smiled, “I’m not as busy as you. Even if I have nothing to do, I have plenty of time. Is there something?”
“I’ll take you out,” Yun Qi’s tone was slightly unnatural, and he added, “I happen to be free tomorrow, and I’ll also look for an old friend.”
“An old friend?” Yi Mu’er’s smile stiffened. Who could this old friend be?
Yun Qi understood her thoughts and explained, “Just my master.”
“Oh, I see!” Yi Mu’er seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, joking, “I’d like to see what kind of master could teach such an excellent disciple. I’ll go with you.”
Yun Qi heard the teasing in her voice and laughed, “We might not even be able to see him.”
“Why?” Yi Mu’er asked.
“You’ll know tomorrow,” Yun Qi didn’t want to elaborate further. He now felt tired again and simply said, “I’m tired, you should rest early too.”
Yi Mu’er looked a bit disappointed, “Okay, good night.”
Yun Qi dragged his weary steps to the hall door, stopped, and after much hesitation, turned back to Yi Mu’er, “Thank you today. After all these years, I felt a sense of home again.”
In five years, this was the first time he felt a sense of belonging, and this warm feeling was given to him by Yi Mu’er. This made him feel complex emotions.
“I should thank you too! At least this opportunity is one we gave each other,” Yi Mu’er tilted her head with a playful smile, hiding her glistening tears in her cascading hair.
Yun Qi’s hearing was excellent, and he heard the sentence clearly, but for some reason, when he heard it, his heart inexplicably panicked.
“Come back quickly!” Yun Qi had been sharp-edged in these five years, having encountered numerous assassination attempts. He suddenly felt there might be an ambush ahead and shouted, “Mu’er, come back quickly!”
However, Yi Mu’er had already turned the corner and disappeared from Yun Qi’s sight.
Yun Qi’s unease grew increasingly strong, and he rode his horse in pursuit like a madman.
“Qi, you’re so slow!” Yi Mu’er heard horse hooves approaching from far to near, and turned back to say.
