Chapter 716: Tears
Of course, the might of the guardians had to be taken into consideration as well. A country without a guardian, no matter how strong it was, would not be able to escape the fate of destruction. It was the same with the countries that had long disappeared in the river of time.
At that moment, Her Majesty the Empress was meeting the envoy and sect disciples that Ding Lin Country had sent, but of course, it was meaningless at this point.
Although the sect disciples were unsatisfied, it was just as Mo Kongyuan had said—the reason why they had gotten involved in this was because they were worried that a war would disrupt their plans of searching for the Cang Yuan Sword. Since the countries had ended this chaotic battle without mobilizing troops and shedding blood, it was clear that there was no need to say anything more. After the meeting, they left Nan Xia’s capital. As for the feelings of the Ding Lin Country’s envoy, nobody was really bothered.
On the third day after Mo Kongyuan and the guardians returned, Ling Chuxi and the others prepared to leave the capital and head for the former site of the Golden Pill Sect.
At the city gate, the carriages of the Gao family’s Chamber of Commerce were all ready and waiting to depart. Mo Kongyuan and the other guardians went with Ling Chuxi’s group to send them off.
“Misters, these are Jade Heart Pills I have refined specially for you. Although it is not very helpful for your cultivation, it has great benefits for nurturing your heart and qi.” Ling Chuxi took out a few porcelain bottles and passed them to Mo Kongyuan and the rest.
“I won’t reject your generosity then. Many thanks.” Xie Wuji gladly accepted the bottle. They had cultivated for so many years and their cultivation had reached a bottleneck. At this point, the most important thing for them was the cultivation of their inner realms, otherwise, it would be very difficult to breakthrough. This Jade Heart Pill nurtured the heart and qi, so it was very practical for them. Furthermore, the herbs used to make them were not expensive. It was obvious that Ling Chuxi had thought a lot about what pills would be best for them.
The other guardians also gave their thanks and accepted the porcelain bottles.
“Master, when will you return?” Fu Huayi asked dejectedly. When she was with Ling Chuxi, she could behave like a young girl again.
“We’ll return once you give birth,” Lan Xinyu joked, looking odd with her two black eyes.
“You’re still bringing it up!” Fu Huayi, who had been teased for so many days, instantly blushed and swung a punch at Lan Xinyu, who swiftly dodged it. Having been beaten up so much, her movements were becoming more and more agile.
Mo Kongyuan and the rest laughed out loud. The moment the guardians had returned to the capital, they had heard news that the empress was pregnant, and were greatly shocked. Only after a detailed query did they find out the real story. This kind of clever idea could only have been invented by that devilish former fifth princess.
“Alright, we should leave. Remember, treat the people of Nan Xia well, and also treat the people of Ding Lin well. I hope the next time I return, I will be able to see a prosperous and strong Nan Xia.” Ling Chuxi tousled Fu Huayi’s hair until it started to resemble a bird’s nest.
“Yes, I won’t disappoint you. Also, the Ling family and the Lan family do not have to worry since I am around.” Fu Huayi stepped forward and leaned into Ling Chuxi’s embrace longingly, only letting go after a long time.
“Alright, I trust you. Let’s go, we’re departing.” Ling Chuxi hopped into the carriage, and the carriage wheels started to turn. She waved her hand. “You all should return too. Manage that pig head of yours well, or else Xia Zhuoyi will leave you.”
“Ah, Master, you poisoned me again!” Fu Huayi wailed and frantically started searching for a mirror.
“I’m just pulling your leg this time!” Though the carriage was quite far away, Ling Chuxi’s crisp laughter rang out clearly.
“Master…” Fu Huayi stomped her feet as she held a mirror, but a happy smile was plastered on her face. Even though she was smiling, tears kept rolling down her cheeks.
