The journey from Baixing Gully Village to the old lady's straw cottage was not close.
Just yesterday, Lin Ruoxue had experienced an avalanche, and she really should have taken a good rest both ntally and physically, but Su Chen did not want to disappoint her, so he agreed to her request.
Along the way, Su Chen and his companions walked and stopped intermittently, only reaching the straw cottage in the afternoon.
"It's unexpected to find such a place at the foot of Tianshan."
Looking at the straw cottage surrounded by a wooden fence, including so vegetable gardens and fruit trees in the yard, Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but exclaim.
Su Chen smiled and pushed open the gate of the courtyard. He had felt a similar feeling the first ti he had co here.
Although the old lady did not seem extraordinary, she always gave him a very peculiar feeling. As for what it was precisely, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
When they entered the straw cottage, the old lady did not show any surprise on her face, as if she had guessed that they would co back.
However, when she saw Lin Ruoxue standing by Su Chen, her sleepy eyes suddenly emitted a sharp light, and her body shook violently!
"Old lady, this is my wife, Lin Ruoxue. We are planning to leave, so before we go, I brought Xiaoxun to see you."
Su Chen said with a smile, not paying much attention to the old lady's unusual reaction.
"What's so great about an old woman?" The old lady curled her lips, then looked at Su Chen, "So this is your wife?"
"Yes, she also wanted to et you, so we ca together."
"Old lady, it's a pleasure to et you."
Lin Ruoxue smiled warmly and reached out a tender hand.
The old lady did not reach out to shake her hand but thoroughly scrutinized her, as if trying to see through her as one would a flower.
Being stared at like this by a stranger made Lin Ruoxue feel quite uncomfortable, even though it was by an old lady.
"Old lady, why are you staring at like this? Is there sothing special about ?"
Lin Ruoxue withdrew her hand a little displeased and asked curiously.
"Special, very special indeed, only that you yourself are unaware!"
The old lady muttered aningfully.
Lin Ruoxue, including Su Chen at this mont, could not imagine how shocked the old woman was inside!
But she hid the shock very well.
"No wonder that old fellow told his precious disciple to get married. So this is why!"
The old lady thought to herself:
"Although his cultivation is diocre now, in the future... it's unimaginable!"
Su Chen also felt that the old lady was acting strangely today, not only staring weirdly at Lin Ruoxue before but now even her gaze towards him seed peculiar.
"Well, old lady, you've seen them, now hurry on."

Without giving Su Chen much ti to think further, the old lady had already started giving them the eviction order.
"Xiaoxun, make sure you listen to Uncle after you go back, hear ?"
Then the old lady looked at the little girl, her expression suddenly much softer.
"Xiaoxun will behave."
The little girl obediently nodded her head.
"Okay, it's getting late, you guys should hurry on your way!"
The old lady urged them again, seemingly not wanting them to disturb her peace.
Since the old lady said so, Su Chen and the others felt it was not appropriate to stay further:
"Old lady, we'll be leaving then. Please take care of yourself."
"Go on, go on!"
The old lady waved her hand sowhat impatiently.
Su Chen had no choice but to lead Lin Ruoxue and the little girl out, heading back the way they had co.
The old lady also stepped out of the thatched hut to see them off. As the little girl had just walked not far from the yard, she looked back and saw the old lady, suddenly rushing back and throwing herself into her arms:
"Grandma, Xiao Xun doesn't want to leave, Xiao Xun wants to stay with grandma!"
"Good child, this place does not belong to you, and you do not belong here, you should leave!"
The old lady, stroking her enchanting purple hair, sighed and then looked solemnly into her big, watery eyes:
"If you still listen to grandma, go with uncle!"
"But grandma, what will you do by yourself?"
The little girl asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, grandma will be alright, if grandma misses you, she will co to see you."
"Really? Grandma, will you really co to see Xiao Xun?"
"When has grandma ever lied to you? Go now, or grandma will get angry!"
"Grandma, don't be angry, Xiao Xun will go with uncle!"
"That's my good child! Go now! They are waiting for you!"
Watching the little girl walk towards Su Chen and another person, the old lady said contemplatively:
"A peacock must eventually unfold its most beautiful feathers!"
"I should also make a trip to Kunlun Mountains now."
......
Truly separating from the old lady made the little girl's mood sowhat somber, remaining silent all the way to Baixing Gully.
When they arrived at Baixing Gully, they quickly packed up, ready to leave, as they didn't have much stuff and had mostly packed it up in the morning.
As they dragged their suitcases and shouldered their backpacks out of the village chief's felt tent, the outside was already crowded with people who had co to see them off.
The emotion of parting is always sowhat lancholic, so after saying goodbye to everyone and promising to return next year, the two adults finally took the little girl towards where the car was parked.
By the ti they arrived at the airport, it was already past 8 PM, but luckily Lin Ruoxue had changed her flight to 10 PM, so there was still plenty of ti.
This ti the plane was quite reliable, only delayed by 20 minutes, which could be considered very punctual in Huaxia.
The little girl was clearly on a plane for the first ti, she was amazed by the clouds from high above, and the hurt from leaving the old lady gradually faded.
When the airplane landed at Jianghai airport, it was almost 3 AM. Although it was so late, Jianghai, as a big city, still had many shops brightly lit, and the street lights on both sides made the road look almost like dayti.
Sitting in the taxi, the little girl looked at all this in awe, wondering how it could be so bright at night. Is this the city?
And those buildings were also sothing she had never seen before, so tall and beautiful!
However, her introverted nature and poor communication skills ant she just silently observed and absorbed the scene...
"Xiao Xun, do you like it here?"
Lin Ruoxue asked with a smile.
"Yes."
The little girl nodded slightly. Coming to such a strange place, she felt amazed but still sowhat scared and apprehensive.
The car soon stopped in front of Grand Epoch Court. The three of them got out and walked towards Lin Ruoxue's villa.
Upon opening the door and entering inside, Su Chen imdiately sprawled out on the sofa:
"There's no place like ho!"
"Indeed!"
Lin Ruoxue also sat down beside Su Chen, then called out to the little girl:
"Xiao Xun, co sit here and rest for a while."
"Oh."
The little girl shifted over sowhat awkwardly, by then she was completely amazed by the spaciousness, beauty, and elegance of the house!
She marveled to herself, so a house can be like this too!
