C102 (1/2)
Luo Qing and her mother had already left for the day, and Luo Lei had settled down in the capital, while Luo Liya was studying in the Royal Academy. Although Luo Yan was usually busy with official affairs, she would occasionally have some time to herself, so when she faced the desolate manor, she would probably feel some regret.
Luo Liya sighed. Although this half a month might delay her cultivation, this trip was not in vain since she was able to accompany Luo Yan.
A month later, the Royal Academy would officially close for the holidays. All the students would have to return to their homes, no one was allowed to stay in the academy.
Everyone carried their bags and left the academy with a happy expression. Luo Liya looked at the crowd and maintained a faint smile on her face.
Luo Li Ya, Wu Kong, Fu Dongming, Zi Ruo and Yue Ling were on the same path. Ye Yingtian lived in Wu City, so he had no choice but to bid farewell to them at the entrance of the academy.
”I told you to come to my house, but you guys didn't. What a disappointment!” ”This will spoil the fun!”
However, they all knew in their hearts that Ye Yingtian was actually reluctant to part with them. After being together for so many days, they were already used to meeting each other every day. Although it was only the fifteenth day of vacation, it was inevitable that they would miss each other as long as they did not see each other for one day.
”No, we'll meet again after the new year anyways, there's no need to brood over it. We'll part ways here.” The others waved goodbye to him as well. Ye Ying let out a long sigh as her face was tainted with an unusual color. She turned around and carried her bag on her back as she got into her carriage.
The sounds of horses galloping could be heard. Luo Liya looked at the carriage and twitched her lips. She turned her head and whispered into the moon spirit's ear, ”Let's go.”
Everyone nodded their heads, and they boarded the carriage that Lori had prepared for them. Zi Ruo was leading the thousand li horse, and the rest of the people were all sitting in it. The carriage was extremely large and luxurious, and the interior was decorated in a new style.
”Why isn't your second brother going back with you?” the moon spirit asked when she had settled down.
”Why did he go back with me? He has already established his own sect. With a son and a daughter, there is no way he would think of returning to his hometown in River City. ” Luo Liya's tone was very light, as if she was talking about something of no importance.
Yue Ling shrugged her shoulders and no longer spoke. After all, this was someone's family matter. She had also made insinuations against Lorya many times before. No matter how many things Lori had done that moved her, she was still unmoved.
Perhaps the shadow of childhood was too deep for Lorraine to make up for now, the moon spirit thought.
Compared to the military coach that they had ridden on before, this carriage was much slower. It would take them around three to four days to arrive at the Snow Village, and then it would take them five to six days to reach River City.
It was not worth it to spend two-thirds of the time on the road.
However, thinking that if she wanted to go home faster, she would have to circulate her true energy. This made her even more reluctant to waste the true energy that she had obtained from training in such a small matter.
After half a day of travelling, they finally arrived at a nearby town when it was dark. They found a relatively clean inn to stay at.
Everyone had suffered from the bumpy ride and felt that something was wrong with their way of walking. Especially Zi Ruo, who was frowning slightly all the time. It seemed like the situation wasn't looking good.
After a quick meal, everyone returned to their own rooms to rest, leaving only Luo Liya and Wu Kong in the hall. Because of Wu Kong's large appetite, she ate a lot, and for some reason, Luo Liya didn't want to leave too quickly, so she slowed down her pace. Wu Kong had already eaten two bowls of rice, but she still hadn't finished one bowl.
”Sister, eat this!” With a radiant expression, Wu Kong placed a piece of very delicious meat into Luo Liya's bowl. Luo Liya was stunned for a moment, but she could not refuse, so she could only curl her lips and accept, ”Thank you.”
”You're welcome!” Wu Kong seemed to be in a good mood as he spoke loudly. Loria watched him out of the corner of her eye as she ate.
Wu Kong's body had undergone a tremendous change in the past few months. He was originally handsome, but after a few months of polishing, he had become more and more handsome, a pair of sharp eyes but not ruthless, and his facial features had become more and more exquisite and beautiful. Previously, she hadn't realized that Wu Kong had a mole on his forehead.
But Wu Kong acted as if he didn't care about those female students at all. If someone offered to be nice to him, he wouldn't even glance at them before rejecting them. Then, as if nothing had happened, he ran over to Luo Liya and became the loyal little Wu Kong.
Luo Liya was immersed in her own thoughts, and did not realize that she had turned from a peek into a public peep. Wu Kong was already staring at her blankly, but when she returned to her senses and saw Wu Kong's expression, her face immediately flushed red.
”Elder sister, why are you blushing? Is there something on my face that you were looking at? ”
Wu Kong asked sillily, Luo Liya lowered her head even more, eating while stammering, ”It's nothing, I was distracted just now.”
Wu Kong uttered a long ”Oh”. Just as he was about to speak, his ears suddenly twitched and his face immediately turned serious. He said with a stern voice, ”Who is the one who is secretly watching us?”
After she said that, Luo Liya immediately raised her head, carefully looking around, ”What's going on?”
”I just heard a sound and felt a pair of eyes peeking at us.” Wu Kong said honestly. He did not know why, but his recent reaction was getting more and more sensitive. He could even sense that someone was peeping at them.
