"I acknowledge that what I saw a few days ago was indeed impressive, especially that city gate. Speaking of which, there's a little trouble I need your help with."
"There's no need for such formality between us. Just say it."
"I've taken in Liu Cong, whom the Lei Family raised. The child is doing very well with me; he's not as dull as before and talks a lot now."
"Moreover, he is quite useful to me. He has almost figured out all the mechanisms in Black Flame City."
"After understanding Liu Cong's importance, Mingze assured Sang Qingxiao, 'Don't worry, I will handle this properly and leave no future troubles.'"
"And as for being needed by his own daughter, Mingze couldn't be happier. Just say what you need."
"I need you to keep an eye on my Small Tavern and my house."
"Is that all?"
"My house is inscribed with runes on all sides. In times of danger, it can serve as a refuge. You have seen the Teleportation Circle beneath the Small Tavern; I have taught you how to use it."
"Before I leave, I will make some changes to it. The connection with the demon clan will be severed, and it will become a direct line of communication between us."
"It's a safeguard for my own daughter; the gift is heavy with sentiment," Mingze said, touched to the core, her eyes reddening as she felt tears welling up. Then she added, "I see Aunt Zhu seems to have been suppressed for too long. You should encourage her to go out more; she seemed quite happy when she was at the Small Tavern."
"My Small Tavern has been running for so long and is doing very well; it's a pity to leave it empty. It would be better to let her practice her skills there."
"If you were just an ordinary person, protecting her for a lifetime would be fine. But you are the Right Chancellor; the future is bright. She needs opportunities to grow and develop some self-defense skills."
"This is your home; technically, I have no right to comment. But since I'm leaving, I felt compelled to speak my mind once. If you think I'm wrong, just consider that I said nothing at all."
Mingze smiled with relief. "If she knew how much you were considering her, she would surely cry uncontrollably."
Sang Qingxiao handed Mingze a detailed menu. "If you're not running a business, then use it at home."
The commotion in the Small Tavern naturally caught the attention of Sang Zijing, who was residing there.
"Where are you going?"
"To Dayu."
"Perfect! We're on the way; shall we go together?"
Are you leaving too?
There is no place for me in Jingjing City anymore, and Sang Yuxin has come looking for me again. I am impatient to deal with it; those of us in the military feel constrained when we arrive at the center of power, and it’s quite uncomfortable.
I can hardly wait to return to the barracks and see the reactions of those defeated subordinates when they learn I am a woman.
Shouldn't you have a word with Sang Bai Jue first?
Do you think he would want to talk?
I left him a letter.
Then I will leave one too.
The next morning, the Small Tavern was tightly shut, with a sign hanging that read "Closed for Business." On the windowsill facing outside sat a steaming bowl of Bone Broth Noodles, accompanied by a sign that said: "Customer Appreciation: One serving per person per day, while supplies last."
Someone tried to take the Bone Broth Noodles, but just as they reached for it, another serving of Lion's Head appeared in its place. The person attempted to grab both but found it impossible; however, when another person came along, they could easily take it.
This peculiar situation continued, and in the days that followed, curious onlookers would come by to guess what the next dish would be. Despite the closed doors of the Small Tavern, it remained lively outside.
When Sang Bai Jue saw the two letters, Sang Qingxiao and his group had already crossed two states using their swift travel talismans.
The letters were written with increasing flair:
Sang Qingxiao wrote: "The world is so vast; I want to see it."
Sang Zijing wrote: "I only know how to fight; I don’t understand schemes. I will continue to guard the borders and keep certain people quiet—don’t provoke me."
A hint of loneliness flickered in Sang Bai Jue's eyes as he grew cold toward Sang Yuxin for several days.
