Chapter 260 - Leaving from Home (1/2)

“Mom, please stop crying. Didn’t we talk about this already? I’m returning to my sect to cultivate, so I won’t be in any danger. It’s just… I’ll be gone for a while.” Qiao Mu grasped Wei Ziqin’s hand and comforted her, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself. I guarantee that I’ll return chubby and whole!”

Wei Ziqin was between laughter and tears as she looked at her daughter and sighed.

Their daughter had previously brought this up with her and her husband, but she had thought that her daughter would at least attend Xiao Sen’s one-month feast before leaving. She did not think her daughter would leave so soon.

Their separation was imminent, so she naturally found it hard to accept.

Qiao Mu looked look at her sound asleep brother laying in his swaddle and softly smiled.

“Qiaoqiao, allow your dad to escort you part of the way tomorrow.”

“Mom.” Qiao Mu swung Wei Ziqin’s sleeves. “Dad doesn’t need to escort me! Have you forgotten that I have the great mystic cultivator, Ao Ye by my side?!”

Qiao Zhongbang regained his status as a mystic cultivator two months ago, and his cultivation also advanced a level after he ate the peach, so he was now a level-six mystic cultivator.

With her dad, a level-six mystic cultivator, holding down the fort at home, Qiao Mu felt more at ease about leaving.

“Mom, do you have enough food?”

“You just like to fret needlessly, child. Mom already told you we have enough. You gave us 30 talismans filled with food, and the remaining provisions in our kitchen will sustain us for more than half a year. Also, didn’t the City Lord’s Estate send us a cart of grains and beans last time? The city lord is truly too polite. He insisted that it was the ration for Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo didn’t eat that many meals here in reality. Yet, he gave us so much, and we can’t even return it.”

“Do you have enough storage talismans?”

“There’s enough, enough. We’ve stored everything that the City Lord’s Estate gave us inside of them and still have empty talismans. Don’t worry. Moreover, your dad and second uncle will occasionally accept a few minor missions, so our family will definitely improve even more.”

“Mom.” Qiao Mu buried her head into her mother’s arms.
