”Little Fan, it's all thanks to you this time that Uncle Murong is saved.” Lingyun, Susu, Fan Mu, Xing Yu, and Murong Yi were relaxed as they sipped their fragrant tea.

”Every generation is stronger than the previous. Kid, I really admire your intelligence,” Murong Yi praised. ”Xing Yu, ah, Xing Yu, you really did find the right person.”

”Eh, I'm sorry about what you said. At that time, I was just a little hot-headed, so I tried it out when I saw how unique these kids' thoughts were.” Xing Yu shook his head, patting Fan Mu on the shoulder, then asked doubtfully, ”Hey, where's Uncle Hu, why is he gone?”

”Oh? Uncle Hu said that my father went back because he had something to discuss with him. ” Ling Yun explained.

After sipping a mouthful of fragrant tea, Murong Yi had a look of contentment on his face. A few days in prison wouldn't be so easy. Even if they weren't tortured, according to the procedures of the hearing, interrogation was inevitable throughout the night.

”Didn't you guys go to the academy? Why are you loitering here?” Murong Yi smiled. The kids didn't seem to be worried at all, it was only a little more than a month since Ming Chen Academy's entrance ceremony.

”Ah ah ah, uncle, if you didn't say it, I would have already forgotten. Ah ah ah, what should I do? It took me almost five days to finish this, and I would be able to sleep soundly in the future,” Susu exclaimed. Indeed, if she didn't hurry up, it would be difficult to reach the academy before the start of the term.

”Haha, young lady, you're really interesting. Oh right, young man, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it's reliable or not.” Murong Yi took out a paper-like item from his chest pocket, opened it and took a look. It was actually a map of several empires.

”This place is called the Pu River, there's a prosperous ferry there that we can cross by boat, because we don't have to take a detour. It's possible that it will be ten days earlier than you guys. How about we give it a try?” Murong Yi suggested.

”Oh, but how, Uncle Murong?” Fan Mu asked.

”That's easy, I'll give you this map. Help me take care of Little Yun and that little girl.” Murong Yi said with raised eyebrows.

”Hmph, who needs his protection. Uncle, what are you talking about?” Sue pouted and looked at Murong Yi unhappily.

”Haha, it's really fun, okay, we'll be leaving tomorrow, we'll have to be careful on the way, I won't stay for too long, I've wasted a few days, I need to hurry over to the Standing General, then we'll see you again, Xing boy.” Saying that, he got up and opened the door.

”We'll leave tomorrow morning,” Xing Yu said.

”It's not good to stay here any longer.” Leaving behind some thought-provoking words, Murong Yi disappeared into the night.

”Then little fellows, your residences have already been arranged. I still have some matters to attend to here. If there's anything I don't know, I can just ask the guard at the entrance.” Xing Yu arranged. His eyes revealed a ghostly light as he left by himself.

”What do you think of the Punishment Lord?” When Xing Yu disappeared, Fan Mu tilted his head and asked Su Su in a low voice.

Susu thought about it and said, ”It's very mysterious. I can't see through it. There seems to be something behind it, and …”
