This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Cui’er spoke for a long time, but seeing that Jun Shiling did not react at all, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. “Are you not interested in our life here? What does your place look like? Can you tell me?”

Jun Shiling turned to look at Cui’er. Her clear eyes were filled with curiosity. Jun Shiling shook his head slightly. “I’m sorry, I’m a little sleepy and want to rest.”

“Alright.” Jun Shiling was unwilling to talk to her, so Cui’er did not pester him anymore. She packed her things and walked out the door.

This small courtyard was located in a lush bamboo forest. The lingering clouds pounced on her face, bringing a moment of clarity, blurring the sadness on Cui’er’s face.

Not far away, Old Master was sitting on the big rock he often sat on and smoking a tobacco pipe. He looked up at Cui’er and waved at her.

“Cui’er, come here.”

Cui’er walked towards Old Master. “Grandpa, do you need me to roll tobacco?”

Old Master shook his head and pointed at the seat beside him. “Come and sit.”

Cui’er sat beside Old Master. She had grown up beside Old Master since she was young and her every move could not escape Old Master’s eyes. Now, Old Master could naturally see the sadness in her eyes.

“You like that handsome young master??”

Hearing Old Master’s words, Cui’er blushed and looked at Old Master shyly. “Grandpa, what are you saying? I don’t.”

The old master knocked on the cigarette butt at the side. “What can you hide from me? I’m old, but my thoughts aren’t old. It’s normal to like someone.”

As Old Master spoke, he seemed to have thought of the girl who had smiled shyly at him back then. A smile appeared on his wrinkled face. He had been through it before and naturally knew how fatally attractive a man like Jun Shiling was to young ladies.

This was normal, but Old Master looked at Cui’er. “Granddaughter, in all fairness, even if we forcefully leave him in this mountain, will he like you?”

Cui’er was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, looking like she was about to cry. When facing Jun Shiling, she would look up to him from the bottom of her heart. She could clearly feel that Jun Shiling was not from the same world as her.

“Then that’s it.” Old Master patted his granddaughter’s shoulder. “I’m afraid a man like him can only…”

As the old master spoke, he suddenly thought of the most favored little princess of the Great Xia Dynasty that he had glimpsed on the street a few years ago.

For some reason, at this moment, the little princess’s cold eyes that would always look down on the world matched the ambition in Jun Shiling’s deep eyes.

The girl’s thoughts came and went quickly. At this moment, Cui’er was more curious about what Grandpa had not finished saying. She widened her eyes and looked at Old Master. “Grandpa, who did you say was the most compatible with him?”

Thinking of the destroyed Great Xia Dynasty, the old master was a little helpless about his thoughts just now. He waved his hand. “It’s nothing. Go and do your work.”

Cui’er nodded. After rolling the cigarette for Old Master, she skipped off to do her own things.

Jun Shiling’s recovery speed was considered very fast. In order to recover early, he cooperated with the old man’s treatment.

Seeing that eight to nine days had passed in the mountains, Jun Shiling roughly estimated that the Longguan Uprising would be in the next few days.

ver the past few days, he had also asked the old man if he knew about Longguan.

Fortunately, the old man waved his hand. “How can I not know? Our largest town. Are you from Longguan??”

Knowing that this place existed, Jun Shiling relaxed a lot.

Now, Jun Shiling was holding a simple walking stick and slowly practicing walking.

Cui’er looked at Jun Shiling. “Are you leaving?”

“Mm.” Cui’er had grown up in the mountains and did not have any distracting thoughts. All her emotions were engraved in her eyes, so Jun Shiling could naturally tell. He looked at Cui’er. “I’m going to find my wife.”

Hearing that Jun Shiling had a wife, Cui’er’s eyes revealed obvious sadness, but she did not indulge in it. She quickly perked up. “Is she as good-looking as described in the story??”

“Mm.”

Cui’er blinked. “Why don’t I accompany you down the mountain to look for your wife? You definitely can’t get off your leg yourself.”

Cui’er’s main thought was to slip down the mountain and take a look.

Previously, she thought that her grandfather had fabricated the story to lie to her. However, when she saw Jun Shiling and heard about his legendary fiancée, Cui’er suddenly felt that the story was true. The outside world must be especially exciting.

“Your grandfather won’t agree.”

“Then let’s sneak down the mountain.”

Cui’er waved at Jun Shiling. “I know a shortcut down the mountain. I’ll bring you down. Can you bring me out to play?”

Jun Shiling’s eyes flickered. “Where is the shortcut?? Why haven’t I seen it before?”

“It’s right there. I’ll bring you over to take a look first.” With that, Cui’er brought Jun Shiling to a very hidden valley at the side. There was a narrow aisle there. If one was not very familiar with this place, it was really impossible to know that someone could pass through here.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you here tonight.”

“That’s a deal!!” Cui’er ran home happily and began to prepare to explore the world.

When the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, Cui’er secretly slipped out of the wooden house. However, no matter how she looked, she could not find any traces of Jun Shiling.

“He’s already gone.” The old man had stepped forward at some point. He glanced at his granddaughter. “He’s a good person.”

“But Grandpa, the outside world is very exciting.” Cui’er’s eyes were filled with yearning.

The old man slowly shook his head, his eyes filled with a deepness that Cui’er could not understand. “It’s exciting, but how can it be so easy to taint the mortal world? The price to pay is very high.”

Cui’er did not understand what her grandfather meant. She looked at the mountain path again with obvious disappointment.

At this moment, on a quiet mountain path, Jun Shiling was walking down the mountain with his walking stick.

It was not until the next morning that a tall figure walked out of the mountains surrounded by clouds.

Not far away, there were already vendors hawking. Jun Shiling looked up. Two majestic words were carved on the city gate not far away.

“Long Guan.”

Jun Shiling tidied his clothes and slowly walked into the city.

At this moment, on the south street of Longguan City, the fragrance of porridge had already floated up from a small courtyard.

“Royal Sister, your food is so delicious.”
