Leng Hua had the servants bring wine and food for the three of them to enjoy in the courtyard. That night, he listened to them laughing and chatting until late.
“I can’t drink anymore, I’m going to rest. You should also get some sleep!” Mo Chen stood up, his steps a little shaky.
“Leng Hua, take Mo Chen to rest.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze summoned Leng Hua who stood outside.
“Yes,” Leng Hua entered and said to Mo Chen, “Young Master Mo Chen, please follow me.”
“Thank you.” He nodded to Leng Hua and then went out with him.
Watching Mo Chen walk away with shaky steps, Feng Jiu remarked, “He drank a little too much tonight, it seems like something weighing on his mind.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze wrapped his arm around her waist. “Don’t worry! Nothing is wrong with him; he’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.” His deep gaze followed that figure in white until it was no longer visible, and then he took Feng Jiu to the back room. “We smell of wine, shall we take a bath?”
“Mm hmm. A bath will help us sleep better.” Feng Jiu replied, then instructed, “Leng Shuang, have someone prepare the bathwater.”
“Yes.” Leng Shuang responded from outside and then left.
Unlike the two of them who were beaming at each other, Mo Chen, who had arrived in the guest room, removed his coat and laid down on the bed. As soon as he got into bed, he began to relax.
Thinking back on the events of the evening and Feng Jiu’s happy expression when she looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze, he smiled and closed his eyes, whispering, “As long as you are happy… that’s all that matters.”
The next morning, Wanyan Qianhua was waiting for Feng Jiu in the front courtyard. When she saw her come out, she said, “Little Jiu, I’m going back. I’m here just to let you know.”
“Are you going back to the sect?” Feng Jiu asked her.
“Mm, there are some things I still need to take care of at the sect,” she said, her gaze distant.
When Feng Jiu heard this, she smiled. “Well, then, I won’t keep you any longer. We’ll be going up the mountain summit in a few days, then returning to the Phoenix Empire to marry after the battle. You must attend.”
Wanyan Qianhua smiled charmingly as she listened to her. She grasped Feng Jiu’s hand and reassured her, “Don’t worry! I will definitely attend, and I will bring you a big gift.”
Feng Jiu chuckled, “Then, I thank you in advance.”
She hesitated, looked at her, and continued after a brief pause. ” Sister, even though I feel this is a matter of your feelings with Jun Jueshang, and I can’t help much, I still want to advise you. Do as your heart guides you. In matters of the heart, most of the time, there’s no right or wrong. Just follow your heart, so you have no regrets.”
Wanyan Qianhua was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, “Don’t worry! I know.”
After they had talked for a while, Feng Jiu sent her off. After watching her leave, she turned and walked back to see how Hao’er was doing today.
As soon as Qin Xin noticed Feng Jiu enter, she stood up and greeted her, “Master.”
“Has Hao’er not woken up yet?” She turned to face the bed, where the child was still sleeping, hugging the quilt. His little face was no longer as pale as it had been the day before. His condition appeared to have greatly improved after a night’s sleep.
