Bai Junjun and Li Wenli’s past hardships while fleeing famine in the Eastern Land were sothing Yuwen Luanfei was already aware of.
The more he interacted with them, the more he felt the magnetic charisma of Bai Junjun and Li Wenli. It seed perfectly natural that such people would attract companions along their journey.
Take La Man Uncle and his group, for instance—they had practically beco lifelong friends with the duo. Surely, there were many others like them.
Thus, Yuwen Luanfei simply nodded and said, "We’ll coordinate with you fully. Wherever you go, we’ll follow."
Wenren Pingting nodded as well, radiating a sense of marital solidarity akin to the idiom that united hearts can break the toughest gold.
The four of them quickly wrapped up their impromptu eting, having just finalized the plan to leave when they saw Yuwen Qi approaching with La Man Uncle and his companions.
Yuwen Qi still carried his usual air of excitent and asked, "Why are you all awake so soon? Don’t you want to rest a bit longer?"
"..." Bai Junjun.
Not resting well—wasn’t that thanks to them?
Earlier, Yuwen Qi had been eagerly sharing the details of his oath-swearing ceremony with Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, even boasting about the Black Dragon Army’s na, which he found particularly imposing. With today’s fiery montum, he felt sure his father’s revenge wasn’t far off.
But before he could ride that high for long, Bai Junjun announced they intended to leave by nightfall.
Yuwen Qi had not anticipated their departure so soon, montarily stunned, unable to utter a word of persuasion to make them stay.
"The journey to Dai County will take so ti," Bai Junjun explained. "We also don’t know whether Yuwen Jun has already dispatched pursuers after us. Although we’ve managed to save so ti, lingering around would an losing our advantage."
In the days to co, using Special Abilities would not be ideal—unless Lady Lin ca with them. As a modern individual, she could at least comprehend such powers. But Yuwen Luanfei and Wenren Pingting were from ancient tis—they would not be able to understand.
If this caused a rift between them, the losses would far outweigh the gains.
Thus, for the journey to Dai County and even the return trip to the Ownerless Land, they’d have to resort to using a Horse Carriage once more.
The road ahead was fraught with the possibility of encounters with Yuwen Jun’s forces, aning they had to act swiftly to maintain their edge.
Yuwen Qi understood that this wasn’t the ti for idle pleasantries. Swallowing his sorrow, he gave a reluctant nod and said, "I’ll have people escort you."
"No need. Two horses will suffice," Bai Junjun replied casually.
In terms of combat power, they truly didn’t have much fear. Still, understanding that refusing all aid would leave Yuwen Qi uneasy, they settled for requesting just two horses.
Yuwen Qi, of course, had no objections. He promptly arranged for the two sturdiest and most well-fed horses in the camp to be readied for them.
And so, after sending Yuwen Qi back to his camp and accepting a batch of military supplies, the four prepared to leave.
Before their departure, Yuwen Qi and La Man Uncle’s group ca out to see them off.
La Man and his two fellow disciples even went so far as to write a letter for their master, entrusting it to Bai Junjun to deliver. They promised that once they had completed their unfinished mission, they would seek them out again.
Bai Junjun nodded, then handed each of them a Drooping Tube Flower and a flask of Water of Flora.
"Keep this water safe," she instructed. "Only use it when your life is on the line, and don’t waste it under any other circumstances. As for the flower, it works the sa way—if you’re in mortal danger, crush it, and it might save you."
None of them had expected Bai Junjun to be so generous, gifting both flowers and water. They were moved beyond words.
Even Yuwen Qi felt a little awkward at that mont. After all, residing in the remote mountains, he had no gold, jewels, or local specialties to offer as parting gifts.
Bai Junjun rely waved it off. "Let’s not fuss over these formalities. Once you’ve settled down, co find us in the Ownerless Land to hang out."
