ng Xinian was caught between crying and laughing.
"I can’t take you with , you can’t go."
How could he take her to such a war-torn country?
Besides, Chiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t a Supervisor Guard, how could he take her on dangerous missions?
No matter how much she worried, she couldn’t just abandon everything to follow him.
Chiang Xiao actually understood this as well.
Going to a place plagued by war was different; no matter how skilled she was, she could still easily distract him from taking care of her.
In such a place, if she beca a burden to him, it would only add to his danger.
Moreover, she couldn’t feel at ease leaving the country for two months; she wouldn’t be able to contact Ah Liu, and if sothing happened in D State, she wouldn’t be able to handle it.
ng Xinian saw her worried expression, sighed softly, patted her on the head, and said, "Little, you have to trust ."
Chiang Xiao took a deep breath and nodded.
"I trust you, you’ll definitely co back safely."
"Mm, I will."
Two months will pass in the blink of an eye.
"Once I return, we’ll start preparing for the wedding; wait for ."
"Okay." Chiang Xiao cheered up a bit, "Will you stay for dinner?"
"I have to go back soon; there’s a eting later, and I need to talk to Uncle Yang. Little, take care of yourself and be cautious, okay?"
"Don’t worry, I’ve decided to just stick to school, ho, and the teahouse; I won’t go anywhere else. You know I don’t like recreational activities. I’ll stay ho, paint, and study Talisman Diagrams when I have nothing else to do," said Chiang Xiao.
Compared to her peers, she was indeed quite hobound, rarely participating in any activities.
"Also, wherever you go, always take Ding Haijing and the others with you." ng Xinian emphasized this again.
"Okay."
"Good." ng Xinian leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the lips, saying, "Then I’ll be off."
"Wait a mont." Chiang Xiao hurriedly handed him several already halved Thousand Mile Talisman Diagrams. "Take more; if anything happens, rember to co back and tell ."
"Alright."
After he left, Chiang Xiao went to the bathroom to wash her face, determined to pull herself together and do what she needed to do.
When Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng returned, they inford her that Chen Zhu had been taken over by those on the other side, and they had even t Zhao Xin, who would handle things there.
Along the way, they followed ng Xinian’s orders, occasionally questioning Chen Zhu to ensure she only repeated what she’d already said, revealing nothing more.
Chiang Xiao then tossed Chen Zhu aside.
Soone like Chen Zhu, even if she returned to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao’s side, would only add to their burden. Until it was confird that Nian Che and the others had completely abandoned her, sending Chen Zhu back to them would only bring them danger.
It was better to hide this from them and deal with it later.
The next day, Old ng also called, saying that Nian Che had gone to the compound wanting to see him, but based on what they’d said, he didn’t let him in at all.
Nian Che was helpless when he couldn’t get into the compound.
When Chiang Xiao returned to the art academy for classes, Ji Yuzhi ca to find her.
She was ntally prepared, so Chiang Xiao remained composed.
"Chiang Xiao, you’ve taken so many days off, can you keep up with your studies?" Ji Yuzhi asked, handing her a beautifully packaged drink. "Here, this is bought from abroad, not available here yet, and it costs three yuan a bottle, try it, it’s delicious."
Nowadays, three yuan for a bottle was indeed quite expensive.
Chiang Xiao shook her head, "Teacher Ji, I don’t drink beverages; have it yourself."
Ji Yuzhi imdiately opened it for her, pushing it into her hand, "Try it!"
