Recently, the night is filled with chants, reciting scriptures till dawn for someone.

Jiang Wang left Mount Sumeru with no attachments and moved into the Huai Nation Government House the next day.

The Great Chu Princess Chang crafted medicinal meals using all sorts of rare ingredients and herbs, while Duke Huai discussed the journey to the Monster Realm with him, offering quite a bit of guidance on cultivation.

Of course, in between, there was a secret trip to Yun Country under the cover of Zuo Guangshu.

Nine-year-old Jiang Anan’s biggest worries were still only three things — why there was so much time for studying and practicing writing, so little time for playing and eating, and why her brother was always busy.

She was completely unaware of the turmoil in the Monster Realm, unaware of the storms of the world.

And this is exactly what Jiang Wang desires.

Time in Yun Country always feels particularly tranquil.

An’an Stupid Grey, Qingyu A-Chou.

Playing with lanterns, catching butterflies, chasing the wind and moon.

If there weren’t small flowers nearby, it would be a beautiful season in the human world.

After a short rest, Jiang Wang once again set off on a long journey.

Jiang Anan, holding hands with Ye Qingyu, with Stupid Grey circling around her boots, bid farewell to her brother once again.

"See you." Jiang Wang said.

"When will we meet again?" Ye Qingyu suddenly asked.

Jiang Anan would never ask this question, because she was sensible, she knew her brother was busy, very busy. She was used to waiting until her brother had time to come see her.

Ye Qingyu would never ask this question either, because she knew even more about what Jiang Wang was doing.

But today was obviously an exception.

During the days spent together in Lingxiao Secret Land.

She didn’t mention the wait of five months and seventeen days.

He didn’t talk about that day of hesitation outside Yun City.

They still interacted as usual, discussing Dao Techniques, Swordsmanship, or the shape of a cloud.

As if nothing had ever happened.

But indeed, a change had occurred.

"August 17th." Jiang Wang did not remain silent for long, repeated seriously: "August 17th, I will come to Yun City, we will meet again."

Adults usually don’t realize meetings with specific dates.

And someone like Jiang Wang, the words he speaks are destined to happen.

Ye Qingyu said, "Then, see you."

Why such a specific date?

Because I’m afraid I may never see you again.

A gentle breeze moves the shadow of the clouds, Jiang Wang’s figure gradually disappeared, like the quiet arrival.

Jiang Anan stopped where she was, looked at Ye Qingyu, then at the direction her brother disappeared, then at Ye Qingyu again. As if she had discovered something remarkable.

"What’s the matter? Have you finished practicing your characters?" Ye Qingyu’s voice was gentle.

Woof woof woof!

Stupid Grey cheered and encouraged.

Jiang Anan was undistracted, furrowing her small brows, counting on her fingers and saying: "January 28, brother’s birthday. August 17, Sister Qingyu’s birthday. October 12, An’an’s birthday... Hey! When brother comes to Yun Country again, isn’t it just Sister Qingyu’s birthday?"

Ye Qingyu blinked, hiding joy within the crescent moon: "Is that so, I haven’t noticed yet."

Jiang Anan was extremely delighted: "We can then have a grand feast together! Last time for sister’s birthday, Uncle Ye presented a bowl of Phoenix Scallion Lotus, the taste... my brother can have it too!"

"Oh, hey." Ye Qingyu patted Jiang Anan’s little head: "Why wouldn’t people say you’re his sister, truly such a smart reflection."

"Of course!" Jiang Anan was very proud: "My brother is Jiang Xiaoxia of Linzi, I’m Jiang Xiaoxia of Yun City!"

"What about me?" Ye Qingyu asked with a smile.

Jiang Anan exclaimed, "Go ahead!" and Stupid Grey, circling around her leg, suddenly shook its body, the size expanding several times, transforming into a majestic giant dog, over two zhang long and stepping on crimson flames.

Jiang Anan flipped onto the dog’s back, grabbed the neck fur with her little hands, and gently tugged—

Stupid Grey wagged its tail and dashed away!

Only leaving Jiang Xiaoxia’s voice in the wind.

"You’re the Writing Hero! Always listening to my brother, making me practice writing every day!"

...

...

Counting carefully, Jiang Wang truly owes many people along this journey.

Originally, issuing a declaration, encircling Zhang Linchuan, he already carried a body full of debts. Then turning around, he fell into the Monster Realm with no news for nearly half a year. Who knows if those creditors are doing well, if they are worried in their hearts...

Jingguo’s Yellow Sheri with magnanimity can be put aside, Hell Has No Door’s King of Qin Guang should be put aside even more, maybe putting it aside, it might just disappear.

Who else is there?

Jiang Someone thought for a bit and just waved it away.

He’s never been someone who evades debts, sometimes circumstances are indeed beyond control!

After bidding farewell to Lord Zuo, Jiang Wang finally found time to return to his fief in South Xia.

The Immortal Jade Pearl on his body, already dried up, kept urging him... This rebellious "wanderer" from the Monster Realm was about time to return home.

The spacious old mountain villa, managed internally by Dugu Xiao, and the Ti Qi led by Xue Rushi. Lian Que continued forging at Chi Pond.

His fief included the old mountain and several nearby villages and towns. Everything remained as it was.

And the four words "everything remained as it was" were so rare, today’s Jiang Wang couldn’t be unaware.

In this world, all resources are limited, every position watched by countless eyes.

If misstep even once, who knows how many people would rush to replace him.

Not to mention Jiang Someone disappeared for nearly half a year.

Everything he gained still remained "as it was."

He owes this to his true friends.

For example, Zhongxuan Sheng who schemed in Linyi City, beginning to deal with Ji Zhaonan before he even returned.

For example, Yan Fu and Li Longchuan, who frequented Green Sheep Town every few days.
