Chapter 1274: Chapter 1274: I Can Grant 1 Wish
Xixi and Yuan Ruxin stood up simultaneously.
"Is it Master who has arrived?!" Yuan Ruxin rushed over anxiously.
Seeing that it was indeed Bai Zhi’er, she immediately sobbed and rushed over, wrapping her arms around Bai Zhi’er’s neck.
"Master, wuwu, it’s so great to see you haven’t abandoned us."
Bai Zhi’er laughed amidst tears: "Why would I abandon you? Oh dear, you’re squeezing too tight!"
Yuan Zhen pulled Yuan Ruxin away: "Sister, don’t hurt our junior sister."
Xixi held Bai Zhi’er’s hand: "Sister Zhi’er, please come in and sit!"
Bai Zhi’er walked in with a smile and glanced around the room.
The thatched hut was somewhat simple, but it had a warm atmosphere.
Besides the main room, there were two small rooms next to it.
Yuan Zhen and Old Master Yuan slept in one, Yuan Ruxin and Xixi in the other.
Bai Zhi’er sat by the table, and Old Master Yuan looked at her with a very complex expression.
"You... are Princess Cui Cuo of Great Chu?"
Bai Zhi’er smiled: "The title of princess is just for public appearances. Here, I am merely my senior brother’s junior sister."
Yuan Ruxin immediately added: "And also my master."
Xixi chimed in: "Also my good sister!"
Bai Zhi’er nodded: "Hello, Master Yuan."
"When you left the Capital, I should have come to see you, but some trivial matters held me back."
"Now seeing that you have adjusted well, I feel much relieved. However, I remember Xie Yu said he gave you some silver, why not buy a better house?"
Yuan Zhen laughed: "The Emperor indeed provided, but we intend to use the money for crucial things."
"Besides, my father made many enemies in the court, and if we start spending lavishly, we might attract those with ill intentions."
Bai Zhi’er nodded in agreement.
"Senior brother is indeed thoughtful."
Old Master Yuan sighed: "Only after experiencing great turmoil can one learn to cherish things."
Bai Zhi’er thought for a moment.
"Actually, besides visiting you, I came this time to help you fulfill a wish."
Yuan Ruxin was curious: "A wish? Master, does that mean I can wish for hair ornaments or clothes?"
It had been a long time since she bought new clothes or wore silk.
Bai Zhi’er chuckled softly: "Yes, of course. However, the four of you can only make one wish together."
"I will do my best to fulfill it within my ability."
Old Master Yuan was somewhat skeptical: "For ordinary wishes, the Princess can rely on the power of Great Chu to help, but if we wish for something difficult, how can the Princess achieve it?"
Bai Zhi’er smiled gently: "You don’t need to worry about that, just tell me what the common wish of your four is."
Yuan Ruxin added quickly: "Dad, you have no idea how amazing Master is!"
Back when Bai Zhi’er was only three, she caught a demon bird bare-handed!
Old Master Yuan decisively left the decision to the three young ones.
"I am already at an old age and have experienced many ups and downs. As for wishes, I only hope for peace in my remaining years, so I’ll leave it to you."
Yuan Zhen, Yuan Ruxin, and Xixi went aside to discuss.
While they did, Bai Zhi’er took the opportunity to calculate the fortunes for their family of four.
Thankfully, having already gone through life’s biggest setbacks, their path forward would become smoother.
After a while, Xixi turned around: "Sister Zhi’er, we have decided!"
Bai Zhi’er was surprised: "So quickly."
