Chapter 226: Chapter 79: Departure

Zhu Lingshan’s heart was in turmoil. Moreover, Lin Yuan had yet to return. She buried her head in the new clothes, unable to stop the tears from flowing.

After a moment, Zhu Lingshan managed to stop her tears.

"Prepare the carriage; we are going there now." Constraining her sorrow, Zhu Lingshan spoke calmly.

"Miss, the son-in-law was instructed by the envoy that no one is allowed to approach," Xiaoyun replied in a low voice, having found some relief after crying.

At this moment, Zhu Lingshan closed her eyes to ponder for a moment, then picked up the new clothes again.

She began sewing stitch by stitch once more.

The surrounding noise seemed to quiet down entirely, leaving only the sound of the needle and thread passing through the fabric.

Xiaoyun, eyes reddened, stared blankly at everything.

"Miss, are we just going to do nothing?" After a long while, Xiaoyun grew anxious, seeing Zhu Lingshan still sewing, and couldn’t help but speak up.

Zhu Lingshan just bit off the thread and began sewing another part: "Xiaoyun, no matter how things are going outside for my senior brother, we have no influence over the outcome. Going there is useless."

"Go and prepare the dinner for tonight, make the roasted pork that my senior brother loves, especially the pork belly, make sure it’s fatty but not greasy." Zhu Lingshan’s voice seemed to regain calm.

"But Miss..." Xiaoyun was startled, not expecting such a response from Zhu Lingshan.

Seeing her serene demeanor, the panic in Xiaoyun’s heart also lessened considerably.

"With senior brother outside, how much can I, a woman, manage?" Zhu Lingshan seemed to have completely forgotten the situation, speaking lightly: "I must take care of the affairs at home. Whenever senior brother returns, this place should be a comfort to him."

"I believe he can handle everything outside." Zhu Lingshan took a deep breath, maintaining an extremely calm demeanor: "Go ahead. Remember, continue as usual."

Xiaoyun opened her mouth but eventually nodded, acknowledging that Zhu Lingshan was indeed the lady of the house.

Once Xiaoyun left, Zhu Lingshan continued sewing stitch by stitch. Yet, upon close observation, one could see her hand holding the needle trembling constantly, the stitches crooked.

After preparing the meal, Zhu Lingshan sat quietly at the entrance of the inner hall like usual, still sewing the clothes stitch by stitch.

Unexpectedly, familiar footsteps appeared beside her ears.

Zhu Lingshan’s hand slipped, pricking her finger with the needle.

A scarlet droplet of blood emerged, but Zhu Lingshan couldn’t care less, hurriedly looking up.

Lin Yuan’s tall figure stood quietly beside her.

"Senior brother!" Zhu Lingshan immediately stood up, calling out with deep emotion.

Then she stepped forward and hugged Lin Yuan tightly.

Tears silently fell down her face.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan understood that the day’s battle had caused Zhu Lingshan deep worry.

Holding the woman in his arms quietly, he gently patted her back, constantly soothing her emotions.

After a long while, seeing the woman in his arms calm down, Lin Yuan gently laughed: "Junior sister, tonight."

Lin Yuan blinked: "A different position?"

Zhu Lingshan’s face turned crimson.

This rascal, how could he think of that just upon returning? Couldn’t he see how worried she was?

Zhu Lingshan gently patted Lin Yuan’s chest, then went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Watching Zhu Lingshan’s departing figure, Lin Yuan’s heart was filled with gratitude.

Sometimes, a home is truly a home because there’s someone there always concerned for his safety.

At the dining table.

The three of them ate in extreme silence.

Lin Yuan felt the subtle warmth, and for a moment, the scars left by the battle quietly faded away.

After consuming two bowls of spirit rice, Lin Yuan put down his bowl and looked at Zhu Lingshan, saying, "Junior sister, tomorrow we depart for the upper academy."

Zhu Lingshan, while serving roasted pork to Lin Yuan, paused at his words, then picked a juicy piece of roasted pork and placed it in Lin Yuan’s bowl: "I’ll arrange the luggage tonight so that we can set off in the morning."

Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment, seeing Zhu Lingshan decisively, he felt slight hesitation in his heart.

The journey from Yanghua had already been fraught with dangers. And on reaching the higher martial academy, what life-threatening challenges awaited him?

Zhu Lingshan had been constantly in fear and worry at home, and Lin Yuan felt genuinely guilty.

After a moment’s thought, Lin Yuan spoke softly: "Junior sister, following me has been a constant fear; I don’t know how many dangers lie ahead for us."

Lin Yuan hadn’t finished speaking, but was interrupted by Zhu Lingshan.

"Senior brother."

Zhu Lingshan’s eyes glowed with pride: "When I chose you, I was determined. You are an unparalleled genius and a heroic man; I’ll follow you, no matter the circumstances."

"Because this is the path you must tread!"

Zhu Lingshan smiled, a radiant smile: "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Senior brother, fight boldly."

"Just remember, when you return, there will be a meal prepared for you, and a light left on in the bedroom."

Lin Yuan nodded, picking up his chopsticks, grabbing a piece of roasted pork, and swallowed it in one bite.

That night, in the bedroom.

The originally exhausted Zhu Lingshan was unexpectedly persistent at that moment.

Gritting her teeth, Zhu Lingshan turned and mounted Lin Yuan.

"Junior sister, you?" Lin Yuan was stunned, not expecting his junior sister, already turned to mush, to take the initiative!

Zhu Lingshan lay on Lin Yuan’s chest, whispering in his ear: "Senior brother, I want to give you a child of ours."

"Do you want a boy, or a girl?"

Zhu Lingshan’s fingers caressed Lin Yuan’s chest.

How could Lin Yuan endure such teasing? Instantly, he turned over, pressing down, shaking his head and laughing: "No, no, no."

Zhu Lingshan looked at him in confusion.

Lin Yuan bent down: "As the saying goes."

"Only children make choices; I want them all!"

Zhu Lingshan’s scream suddenly resounded.

For a moment, the rhythmical sounds of the bed creaking echoed in the room once more.

The next day, early morning.

Lin Yuan stepped out from the meditation room, having completed his training for the day.

And Zhu Lingshan, along with Xiaoyun, had already prepared and loaded everything onto the carriage.

By the time Lin Yuan came out, everyone was waiting for him to leave.

At this moment, many people gathered in the inner hall wanting to bid farewell to him.

Master Zhu Jiyi, Xie Wanxin, You Xiaozhong, and other friends were also among them.

Xie Wanxin raised a cup and drank with Lin Yuan: "Junior brother Lin, no need for words. I wish you a brilliant future, leaping over dragons and gates on your journey."

Similarly, after drinking, You Xiaozhong just smiled: "Junior brother Lin, if you need any herbs, just tell me. I’ll have someone send them to Upper City for you."

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded.

Soon after, Lin Yuan set off, joining Zhan Ting, Cao Qin, and others, heading towards Upper City.

At the gates of Yanghua Town, Pei Zeqi, along with the elders of the Pei family, personally came to send him off. After accompanying them for more than ten miles out of Yanghua, he clasped his fists and said: "One must part after accompanying a friend for a thousand miles. Master Lin, farewell."

Lin Yuan nodded and clasped his fists as well: "There are regrets in Yanghua, such as not being able to relocate the people of Bull Horn Village here in time, I entrust this to the Pei Family Head."

"Please rest assured, Master Lin, the carriage to relocate the people of Bull Horn Village is already on its way. By the time you return, their lives will surely be better day by day."

Lin Yuan nodded again and clasped his fists: "Farewell!"

"Farewell."

Finally, as Lin Yuan’s convoy gradually vanished into a dot in the distance, Pei Zeqi and his family returned.

Meanwhile, in the carriage, Lin Yuan sat quietly, watching the scenery rapidly flash by, feeling a sense of emotion.

The road to Upper City was one he must take.

Since the Nine-Chapter devoured those terrifying blood eyes, he knew he was already in the eyes of some.

His future desired him to stand higher, even higher than the highest, to possibly control his destiny.

For the martial journey to Upper City, Lin Yuan harbored a slight anticipation in his heart.

As for the difficulties and dangerous obstacles, what was there to fear?!
