Yuan Ruxin pleaded, "Please take in, I promise to hold you as my sole esteed ntor for life."
"Princess Cui Cuo, you are wise, well-learned, and..." skilled in spells.
These last words were swallowed by Yuan Ruxin.
She corrected herself, saying, "And so clever and quick-witted. I willingly admit defeat and only wish to follow my master’s side!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi’er regains her composure.
The little one guessed why Yuan Ruxin spoke such words.
After all, witnessing the power of magic, anyone would long for it.
Bai Zhi’er brushed her skirt and sat gracefully.
She pulled Yuan Ruxin up, "Sit down first, then I’ll talk to you."
Yuan Ruxin obediently sat on the stool opposite her.
Yuan Zhen tugged her sleeve, "Xinxin, don’t be reckless, you..."
"Brother, don’t interrupt, Master Cui Cuo wants to speak to !" Yuan Ruxin turned her head and glared at him.
As if annoyed by Yuan Zhen’s chatter.
Yuan Zhen was taken aback.
Was he redundant now?
Bai Zhi’er said seriously, "The first thing to say is, I can’t take you, aah."
Yuan Ruxin’s expression changed, looking quite forlorn, "Why? Is it because Master Cui Cuo thinks I have a bad temper? I can change!"
The little one shook her head, "I’m still learning how to be a good princess myself, if you take as a master, I can’t teach you anything, aah."
"Moreover, we’re both still young. If we beco master and apprentice, others will laugh, thinking we’re just playing pretend, you know?"
Yuan Ruxin furrowed her brows, "Then... then I..."
Bai Zhi’er said softly, "You should return to your Yan Country, study well, be a good person, and grow wholeheartedly. When you’re older, you’re welco to visit Great Chu to play!"
Yuan Ruxin clung to the last bit of hope, "Really, you can’t take ?"
Bai Zhi’er decisively shook her head.
Yuan Ruxin sighed in disappointnt, "Alright then."
But soon, she regained her spirits.
"When I return, I will rember your words and take action. I won’t throw tantrums or bully others anymore."
Yuan Ruxin firmly declared, "When we grow up, I will return, and if Princess Cui Cuo thinks I’m worthy, please take as your disciple then!"
Bai Zhi’er waved her little hand, "We’ll talk about it then!"
A ruo couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle quietly.
Their family’s Emperor is truly outstanding!
Not long after.
On the day Yuan Zhen and Yuan Ruxin set out to return to Yan Country, two boatloads of Purple Brush Pens sent by the Regent King of Yan Country also arrived at the docks of Great Chu Capital.
Bai Zhi’er happily received all the pens, and with the help of followers of Bai Daoyan, the fourth son, she carried them back to the under-construction Feng Chao Mansion.
Watching the ships of Yuan Zhen and Yuan Ruxin depart into the blazing sun.
Yuan Ruxin stood at the stern, constantly waving goodbye to Bai Zhi’er.
A ruo whispered, "Emperor, will this Princess Dewan spread the word about your magic skills?"
Bai Zhi’er’s expression was lively, "No, she’ll certainly keep it a secret, maybe even plan to return to learn spells from soday!"
The next day.
A ruo discovered her magic had returned, and said farewell to Bai Zhi’er.
She had been away too long, worried about the safety of Lady Heavenly Dao and the growth of the Xiangsi Tree.
Thus, A ruo didn’t bid farewell to Lu Wang, knowing they would reunite in the Heavenly Court.
On a night of drifting autumn rain, A ruo made a spell, and after a shining like stars, vanished from Bai Zhi’er’s bedroom.
