Chapter 4983: Idea
So she relayed Lady Xuanyuan’s words to the two of them, saying, “Yunxue thinks that if I stay at ho forever, the chance of eting Lady Xuanyuan again in this lifeti is practically zero. It would be better to go out and travel. First, it broadens my horizons; second, I can witness the myriad aspects of the world; and third, who knows—perhaps one day I’ll encounter Lady Xuanyuan out there.”
At this point, she smiled and added, “It’s not that Yunxue is fixated on Lady Xuanyuan’s promise of a future opportunity. Rather, when I saw her stride away so carefree and unrestrained, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.”
She looked at the two of them and said, ” Yunxue doesn’t wish to remain forever within the family’s protection, confined to this small world for her entire life.”
With that, she prostrated herself before them, striking three loud knocks with her forehead: “I implore Grandfather and Father to grant this wish.”
Hearing this, the old master and Huangfu Xiao fell silent. Neither spoke, rely watching Huangfu Yunxue kneeling before them, her forehead striking the ground in supplication.
After a long pause, Huangfu Xiao spoke in a asured tone, “You’ve never traveled far, nor do you understand the dangers of the world. Moreover, your current strength is insufficient for venturing out. If you truly left, you would likely perish within three months.”
“Yunxue isn’t afraid, Father. Yunxue isn’t afraid of death.” She looked at him, her gaze unwavering.
Seeing her such determination, Huangfu Xiao was at a loss for words. Just as he was about to rebuke her, his father spoke up beside him.
“Since you wish to go, I shall grant your request! However, you have only recently attained enlightennt. Now is not the ti to leave. You must wait until you successfully break through to the next stage.”
“Agreed!” Huangfu Yunxue responded, a smile lighting up her face.
With her current state of mind and the benefits gained from her enlightennt, she could achieve advancent within three months.
“Patriarch, a guest has arrived at the gates!” The steward hurried in to report, his expression brimming with excitent.
Noticing the steward’s expression, the Old Patriarch gestured. “Go see who it is.”
“Yes, sir.” Huangfu Xiao responded before heading toward the front courtyard.
“Grandfather, I’ll return to seclude myself for cultivation now.” Huangfu Yunxue said, then followed him out.
anwhile, after leaving the Huangfu residence, Feng Jiu wandered through the city streets. She sat for a while in an inn, confirming that the entire Specter Palace faction had vanished overnight. Only then did she depart from Blazing Sun City, heading toward the Song family’s location…
At the Song residence, Song Mi’er and her brothers had been taking Hao’er and the others sightseeing around the city these past few days. After exploring all the city’s attractions, they stayed ho, though lingering in the sa place grew tedious—especially for the children.
That day, Yue’er trotted over to her two brothers, her voice brimming with excitent. “Big Brother, Brother, I heard Brother Song and the others talking about going to so forest to gather ingredients. Can we tag along and see what it’s like?”
Hearing this, the two brothers practicing martial arts in the courtyard paused. Hao’er wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, “Will they agree to take us? And how long will they be gone?” Mother told us to wait here for her. If we go with them, won’t Mother co back and not find us?”
“No, no, no. If Mother cos, we’ll just have her wait here for us to return,” Yue’er said with a beaming smile. “I only heard them talking and ran to tell you guys. I haven’t even asked them if they’ll take us along yet.”
