Ji Ruyan and the others did not accompany Emperor Xuan back to the capital.
After reaching Poison Scorpion City, they did not proceed to enter the capital.
For this, Emperor Xuan had only sent Gao He to deliver a message to them, instructing them to go to Dunle State in a little over a month to receive their rewards.
Upon returning to the General's Mansion, Ji Ruyan immediately saw Feng Ruxue chatting with Grandma Qianyue, an elder and a young one playing Go.
With sharp eyes, Feng Ruxue spotted her return at once, "Sister, you're finally back! Xuexue has missed you to death!"
She rushed over eagerly and embraced Ji Ruyan joyfully.
Ji Ruyan hugged her lightly and smiled, "Has Xuexue been a good girl and listened obediently?"
"Of course. I wouldn't dare forget what sister said!"
Feng Ruxue pouted, expressing how well-behaved she had been these past days.
