Chapter 275: Revisiting the Falling Cloud Mountain Range (1/2)
“Previously, this servant thought that Mistress was like myself, a weak little girl. This servant felt that even though Mistress has heaven-defying abilities, Mistress should still be like other clan’s young ladies and live through peaceful days. But now, I feel that it isn't really possible. Mistress is destined to be the phoenix soaring through the nine heavens. Mistress shouldn't be trapped in the general's residence as a canary. Since Mistress might not listen to what this servant says Mistress can do as you please. This servant will deal with the aftermath. Please be at ease.”
After hearing Cai Ling’s reply, Bai Luochu suddenly realized that this lass had unknowingly matured.
Bai Luochu felt rather touched, it felt as though she had personally nurtured a person into a talent
”You will probably be in for a hard time. If anyone visits, you have to help me stop them. Tomorrow, I will use the tunnel to travel to the Remote Paddy Inn before purchasing a carriage to exit the city, allowing the least possible chance of exposure. You should know that there are plenty of eyes in the capital city on me. It is hard to say if anyone will notice my actions. In the worst case scenario, look for Ying Lan if you can’t handle them. He has followed me the longest and has handled many things. He should be better at dealing with this.” Bai Luochu stated.
Cai Ling understood that Bai Luochu was worried she might suffer in the general's residence alone without support. Thinking that her mistress trusted her so much and had also laid down a route of retreat for her, Cai Ling nodded and gave her word, ”Mistress doesn't have to worry. I will definitely be able to handle everything they throw at me.”
Bai Luochu nodded with gratitude and said, ”You must learn how to adapt. Since I will be away for the next few days, why don't you make use of the time to cultivate. On the path of cultivation, if one stops, your level will decline. You are someone who will stand beside me and cannot be weak. Otherwise, in crucial moments, I will need to waste some effort to protect you.”
“Yes, this servant understands.” Cai Ling didn’t say much.
Bai Luochu saw that everything was almost packed and instructed Cai Ling, “Alright, you can go back. I shall rest early tonight and leave early in the morning.”
In response, Cai Ling left in a respectful manner.
After a good night’s sleep, Bai Luochu headed towards the Falling Cloud Mountain Range the moment the rays of sunlight touched the earth.
Bai Luochu had pushed her movement skill to the extreme and with her quick speed, she reached the foot of the Falling Cloud Mountain Range before noon.
Bai Luochu looked through her memories to look for the mountain cave but when she entered, she found no signs of the Green Flame Eagle.
