The autumn wind rustles, and the grass leaves turn yellow.

The afterglow of the setting sun and the fiery red clouds gradually turned orange-gray.

Xiao Lusheng smoothed the loose hair from Su Yun's forehead and said, "I'm just guessing, but I don't know what he's really planning."

Su Yun said, "I had the same guess, so he promised me that he would never do such a foolish thing again."

"I hope."

"but I--"

Su Yun looked up at Xiao Lusheng, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly. "Husband, whether we contact Chen'er and the others today or tomorrow, no matter when we go back, I want to keep a close eye on Brother Rong."

“I owe Brother Rong even more, and I don’t want him to be so cruel to himself.”

Xiao Lusheng smiled and nodded. "Yes, I agree." He would also pay attention.

The man affectionately ruffled her hair. No matter what, life is short. As long as Yun'er is by his side, he can endure any hardship or jealousy!

A cool breeze swept by.

Fearing that Su Yun would catch a cold, Xiao Lusheng and Su Yun prepared to descend from the observatory.

Su Yun suddenly said, "Do you think it's possible that the three of us shouldn't go back?"

"No."

Xiao Lusheng's answer was resolute.

"Why?"

"The sights I saw in the Black Spring Forest told me that if we didn't leave soon, we would all be trapped here, that is, truly and eternally dead—"

This was Xiao Lusheng's guess; he didn't know if it was true.

"To die in the Cangyun Kingdom," he added.

"And here?" Su Yun asked.

Xiao Lusheng shook his head. "I don't know, but perhaps Rong Xun does."

Su Yun frowned, therefore, none of them could stay here.

She almost tripped and fell as she went down the steps, but Xiao Lusheng immediately grabbed her and said, "Be careful."

Su Yun turned around and looked up at Xiao Lusheng. She frowned, and when their eyes met, she asked, "Husband, have you ever resented me or Brother Rong in your heart?"

Xiao Lusheng took a deep breath. "Of course, I resented Rong Xun." He paused, then smiled bitterly. "But I know I don't resent him. It was all Chen Qingshan's evil deeds!"

She doesn't resent Rong Xun, and she certainly wouldn't resent Yun'er.

Her memories were also altered by Chen Qingshan!

The man stepped down and ruffled Su Yun's hair. "I only blame myself for not being able to protect you properly. Will Yun'er blame me?"

Su Yun shook her head, took a step up the stairs, and hugged Xiao Lusheng. In his arms, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before.

Perhaps, deep down, she has never truly faced the issue of the three of them.

this moment.

Hearing Xiao Lusheng's words, she found a long-lost, especially familiar sense of security in his arms.

Xiao Lusheng hugged her back tightly.

It's getting late.

After they came down from the observatory.

There were already eunuchs waiting outside the observatory, and Jian Wu, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood respectfully to one side. He simply bowed and said nothing.

The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Lord Xiao, Madam Su, His Majesty invites you both to dine at the Imperial Palace."

Upon seeing the eunuchs, Su Yun knew that Rong Xun must have specifically instructed them not to go up to the observatory and disturb them.

As for Sword 5—

Su Yun glanced at him again and asked, "Did Lord Rong say anything to you?"

Jian Wu shook his head.

Su Yun didn't say anything more, and the eunuch led the way with a palace lantern.

Imperial Palace Dining Hall.

After Xiao Lusheng and Su Yun arrived, Xiao Yao dismissed all the palace servants.

Su Yun sat down next to Rong Xun, and Xiao Lusheng followed suit.

"Father, Mother, Uncle Rong just said that he has obtained Zhang Zhao's umbilical cord blood. We can activate the magic array and return to Cangyun Kingdom when Brother Chen contacts us again," Xiao Yao said to Xiao Lusheng and Su Yun.

Xiao Lusheng nodded, "That would be best."

Xie Yun Chu said, "I don't know how much time has passed outside."

Yes, how much time has passed outside?

Everyone looked at Rong Xun. Rong Xun did some quick calculations and remembered that the first time he had contact with Chen'er was not long after the beginning of spring.

It is now late autumn.

"It has probably been four or five years."

What is the basis for this calculation, which has lasted for four or five years?

Rong Xun remembered that when he first arrived, it was the dead of winter.

From last winter to spring, summer, and autumn, four seasons have passed—

"If that's the case, when we go back, Xiao Nuomi, Xiao Yuanzi, Xiao Youyou, and Xiao Lulu will all be four or five years old."

Yes.

When they entered this world, Xiao Nuomi and the others had only been born a short time ago.

Xiao Lusheng served food to Su Yun.

Xie Yun Chu served food to Xiao Yao.

Rong Xun picked up some food, his face showing no embarrassment or discomfort, but deep down he felt a pang of sadness.

Just then, Su Yun placed a piece of food on Rong Xun's plate, saying, "Brother Rong loves this yam the most, don't miss it."

Xiao Yao and Xie Yun Chu kept their heads down and ate, neither looking at the food nor responding to any conversation.

Xiao Lusheng said, "Yun'er, I love to eat it too."

Su Yun smiled and put a piece on Xiao Lusheng's plate, adding a piece of braised pork, saying, "You still want to eat meat."

“I also know that Yun’er loves to eat it.”

As he spoke, Xiao Lusheng also placed a piece of fine braised pork on Su Yun's plate.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have no estrangement, Rong Xun felt a sense of relief.

"After that, did Father, Mother, and Uncle Rong all move in?" After all, they could only see the signal that Brother Chen was using to contact them from inside Xuanming Tower.

"Hmm." Rong Xun ate the yam and gave a faint "hmm".

Xiao Yao continued, "What about Chen Qingshan, Zhang Zhao, and Jian Wu? Are they going back with them?"

Hearing this, Xie Yun Chu also looked up at Rong Xun.

Rong Xun's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head. "They can't go back."

There's no going back—

Xie Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Xiao Yao was the same.

But for some reason, she had a few inexplicable emotions. She knew in her heart that Jian Wu himself had not made any major mistakes.

As for Zhang Zhao and Chen Qingshan, back in the Cangyun Kingdom, one used blood as a sacrifice and the other used Taoist magic to bring them into this world. They deserve to die!

After meal.

Xiao Lusheng suggested taking a walk after dinner.

Xiao Yao was about to review the memorials when she called out to Rong Xun, "Uncle Rong, I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

Rong Xun nodded and walked a little behind Xiao Yao.

Xie Yunchu followed along.

Xiao Yao looked at him, thought for a long time, and then asked Rong Xun, "Uncle Rong, when you say they won't go back, do you mean you have a way to prevent them from going back, or is it that they can't go back?"

Rong Xun raised his hand slightly to his chest and frowned, saying, "They can't go back." As he spoke, Rong Xun looked at Xiao Yao, "When you entered this world, you should still remember what happened before. Zhang Zhao sacrificed his blood to the formation, Chen Qingshan was injured by Jian Wu, and Jian Wu was also injured. So, they actually died in Cangyun Kingdom, so they can't go back."
