Xueyao and others are about to leave the capital, and they have to say goodbye to some good friends and benefactors.

Before leaving, Tao Xuqian specially prepared a grand banquet for Xueyao and the others. At the banquet, they toasted and drank, laughed and talked happily, as if they wanted to keep all the joy here in their hearts.

When night fell and the sky was dotted with stars, Xueyao and others reluctantly left the Tao family.

She left a lot of wealth to the Tao family, which was more than the couple could earn in half a lifetime.

Tao Xuqian and his wife thought it was too valuable and refused to accept it, so Xueyao said it was for her nephew. She believed that her nephew would arrive soon.

In order to avoid putting them in a difficult position in the future, Xueyao specially wrote a gift letter, listed the details, and signed it.

When they went to bid farewell to the emperor and the prince, the emperor and the prince expressed their deep regret and reluctance for Xueyao's departure.

Xue Yao looked at the Emperor and the Crown Prince, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that this departure might mean she would never be able to return to this familiar place or see these familiar people again. But she also understood that she had her own mission and responsibility, and she had to fulfill it.

The emperor personally prepared a generous gift for Xueyao to express his gratitude and respect for her.

The prince clenched his fists, clenching and unclenching them, and then tightening them again. His eyes showed not only gratitude but also reluctance.

He had a lot to say to Xueyao, but he didn't know where to start.

The words I wanted to say most rushed to my lips, but I had to swallow them down again and again. Thousands of words finally turned into silent blessings.

He looked at Xueyao deeply, then slowly said, "Miss Xueyao, you are leaving the capital this time. I wonder when we will meet again?"

Xue Yao smiled faintly, a determined glint in her eyes, and said in a clichéd tone, "Your Highness, the road ahead is long and unpredictable. But please believe me, no matter where I am, I hope the capital will continue to prosper. I hope the already improved situation will become even better. May Daheng prosper."

Murong Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart upon hearing this. He knew that although Xue Yao had left the capital, her heart remained connected to Da Heng and the imperial family. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Miss Xue Yao, I cannot see you off this time. But please remember, no matter where you are, you are always my friend, Murong Chen, and Da Heng's benefactor."

Xueyao nodded, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes. She bowed and said, "Your Highness, take care."

With that, she turned and left. Murong Chen stood there, watching her disappear into the night. He knew this farewell might be forever. This love, for him, could only be kept in his heart forever. But he believed that this love would never fade with time.

Although everything that needed to be explained to Chu Yunxiang had been explained, he still had to say goodbye.

Many people were very happy that Xue Yao came to the capital this time, and Chu Yunxiang was even more delighted.

Chu Yunxiang was filled with reluctance when he learned that Xueyao was about to leave the capital. Because of Xueyao, he was able to meet the Crown Prince and become an imperial merchant, something he had never dared to imagine before.

It's said that good things happen to good people. Although Chu Yunxiang is a businessman, he is just like Luo Qingyu in Fucheng. He often does good deeds and never does anything that would offend his conscience. So, since Xueyao came, his blessings have continued to flow.

And he is not the kind of person who would destroy the bridge after crossing it, otherwise Xue Yao would not have chosen him to be responsible for managing the charity fund.

Chu Yunxiang knew Xueyao's ambitions were far greater than those of the capital. He wished she could stay a few more days, so he could drink and chat with him about business matters. But he knew that was impossible.

As if he had a premonition, when Xue Yao and others arrived, wine and food were already set on the table in his mansion.

Chu Yunxiang personally filled the glasses for Xue Yao and the others, saying, "After this separation, I don't know when we'll be together again. This glass of wine is for you, and I wish you a safe journey."

Xueyao and the others smiled and raised their glasses in response.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu! Although the world is vast, I, Xueyao, am lucky to have a friend like you. I'll drink this glass of wine." Xueyao didn't say that they would meet again, because there was no such thing as a future date.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chu!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, draining them in one gulp. Putting down his glass, Chu Yunxiang's eyes flashed with determination as he said, "Your journey is long and there will inevitably be danger. Although I can't go with you, I will send a few capable men to secretly protect you."

Xue Yao waved her hand and said, "Boss Chu, we appreciate your kindness. But I will walk the path of the Jianghu alone. You just need to take care of yourself and do your job well. You are a virtuous person, and naturally you are also a blessed person."

Chu Yunxiang sighed, knowing that Xueyao was stubborn and wouldn't easily accept help. He nodded and said, "Okay, then be careful. If you need any help, just let me know. Thank you so much!"

Xueyao nodded and said, "Okay."

After waving goodbye to Princess Wan'er, everyone who needed to leave had already left.

As for Commander Li’s family, we’ll talk about it before we set off.

That night, many people were reluctant to let Xueyao go, but there was only one person who tossed and turned the most.

Murong Chen stood in front of the window, feeling as if he was losing something, his heart filled with reluctance and helplessness. He understood that Xueyao and her companions had their own missions and responsibilities, and they could not stay in the capital forever.

But he didn't know why, no matter how he adjusted himself, he couldn't let it go.

"Mu Feng..." He shouted towards the door.

"Here." Mu Feng responded and immediately came to him. After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear any instructions.

Mu Feng was puzzled, "Your Highness..."

"Forget it, it's okay, you can go down." Mu Feng brought his thoughts back to reality, and Murong Chen didn't know what to say or do.

He could do nothing all night long. All he could think about was Xue Yao, and he had nowhere to talk.

He felt as if he was bound by something tightly and could not break free. He knew that this was his longing for Xueyao.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the palace, Murong Chen was already standing before the palace gates. He looked up into the distance, his heart filled with anticipation and reluctance. Xue Yao and the others were leaving the capital today, heading for the world they cherished.

He took a deep breath, "Mufeng, prepare the horse."

Xueyao and the others bid farewell to Commander Li's home and arrived at the city gate. There were already many people gathered there to see them off, most of whom were people they had treated, and some were friends.

Xueyao stood in the crowd, feeling everyone's warmth and blessings, her heart filled with gratitude. She bowed deeply to everyone, then turned and mounted her horse.

She knew that this departure would be a farewell forever, but she also believed that as long as she had faith and aspirations in her heart, she would be able to find her own sky no matter where she went.

Just as they were about to ride away, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from inside the city gate, getting closer and closer. Everyone looked and wondered who else could it be but Crown Prince Murong Chen?

"Xueyao, please spare me a step to talk." He said when he was about ten feet away from Xueyao.

Xue Yao reined in her horse and walked towards him, "Your Highness, please speak."

"I...can we arrange a meeting date?" Murong Chen gritted his teeth and finally said what was in his mind.

Whether it works or not, he felt relieved after saying it.

Xue Yao understood his thoughts, but she could only smile and say, "Thank you, Your Highness! Let fate take its course, and we'll meet again if we're destined to."

"We'll meet again if we're destined to. Okay." He bowed, "Take care!"

She also bowed and said, "Your Highness, I bid you farewell!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed. Xueyao and the others had traveled across most of the world, experiencing the customs and practices of different places, and also learned a lot of valuable experience and knowledge.

Every place they stopped at was a place they missed most. It was where they grew up and gained true love.

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and the figures of Xueyao and others also disappeared from people's sight. What was left was only the faint morning light and endless longing.

After Xueyao and the others left, the capital returned to its former tranquility. But in the hearts of the people, the memory of that brave, intelligent, and kind woman will forever remain. Her name will be forever engraved in the history of the capital, becoming a legend.
