"Forget it, every feast must come to an end; I should go back. If fate allows, there will be opportunities to meet again in the future." Ling Baobao sighed, waved his hand, and said.

"Let’s go," Ling Baobao said. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Mu Hanyan and the others were never ones for drawn-out farewells. Soon, they suppressed their reluctance in their hearts and began the hand gestures once again.

With the gestures, several beams of light slowly released from their palms, connecting with the Void-breaking Talisman. Their Qi also infused the beams of light.

The Void-breaking Talisman shone brightly, suddenly shattering. An invisible force wrapped around Ling Baobao, transcending the limits of Law, carrying him skyward, straight towards Above Nine Heavens.

"Ling Baobao, take care!" Mu Hanyan and the others shouted, waving goodbye to Ling Baobao.

"You too, take care," Ling Baobao also waved vigorously.

Mu Hanyan and the others were bewildered, almost falling to the ground. That guy waved his hand and forgot he was holding a pair of underwear.

Up Above Nine Heavens, light and shadow twisted, a spatial rift appeared, and Ling Baobao flew towards the rift, rising higher and higher, becoming a small white dot in the sky, flickering between the clouds.

Just as he was about to disappear into the spatial rift, he suddenly wobbled a few times, seemingly falling towards another direction.

In the blink of an eye, that distant figure vanished from everyone’s sight.

"Did I see it wrong, did that guy fall down again?" Zirong rubbed his eyes and turned to ask.

"I couldn’t see clearly," Mu Hanyan said. Ling Baobao had flown too high just now, and the floating clouds obscured her view.

"Seems like he did fall, but I couldn’t see clearly either," Ye Lanfeng said.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if he was really so unlucky to fall from the sky.

"Whether he fell or not, with the Void-breaking Talisman’s protection, he shouldn’t be in any danger," Ye Lanfeng reassured.

Hearing this, everyone was relieved, even hoping that Ling Baobao indeed fell. Not only Ling Baobao felt reluctant, but they also felt it. Objectively, everyone hoped deep down for him to stay in this world a while longer.

"Han Yan, I must leave too," Ye Lanfeng said.

"So soon?" Mu Hanyan looked at him with reluctance.

"Without clarity on Yun Qianmo’s matter, I’m uneasy," Ye Lanfeng said.

"Yes, then go," Mu Hanyan nodded.

"Take care," Ye Lanfeng glanced deeply at Mu Hanyan and floated away.

Ling Baobao walked away, and Ye Lanfeng also left. Not only Mu Hanyan, but everyone else felt a bit empty inside, sitting silently at the stone table, sipping tea, without a word.

"Han Yan," Lu Nianxin’s voice suddenly came from the entrance.

"Grandmother, why are you here?" Mu Hanyan said surprised, raising her head.

"I wanted to see you a few more times," Lu Nianxin smiled, her gaze lingering on Mu Hanyan’s face, as if she wanted to engrave her appearance deep in memory.

"What’s wrong, is something the matter?" Mu Hanyan sensed her grandmother’s unease and asked.

"Though I’m reluctant for you to leave, it seems you must go," Grandmother smiled bitterly and handed over a letter.

Mu Hanyan opened the seal and took a glance, her expression slightly changed.

"Did something major happen to the Mu Family?" Lu Nianxin asked. The letter was delivered by a Royal Griffin from Anyun; if nothing significant happened, they wouldn’t use a Royal Griffin, so she sensed that something had happened with the Mu Family and Mu Hanyan had to leave.

Mu Hanyan handed the letter to Lu Nianxin; the letter only contained two words: "Return swiftly." The handwriting was extremely sloppy, clearly written under urgent circumstances, without time for explanation.

"Mu Beichen, that old rascal, what’s he doing, writing a few more words won’t kill him?" Lu Nianxin said dissatisfied.

"It’s not my grandfather who wrote the letter, but my father," Mu Hanyan said solemnly.

"What!" Lu Nianxin said, startled upon hearing.

If something major happened to the Mu Family, the letter should have been written by Mu Beichen. Mu Rui’an was far away in Heishi City, even if something urgent happened, he couldn’t use the Royal Griffin unless he had returned to the Capital. But what had happened to cause him to return to the Capital?

"Grandmother, I must return immediately," Mu Hanyan didn’t understand either, but didn’t dwell on it. Once back in Anyun, all questions would have answers.

"Go then, I’ll escort you out of the city," Lu Nianxin knew things were urgent and did not hold her back.

Outside the city, the Red Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast was ready. Shangyue Royal Family also owned Royal Griffins, but due to their size limitations, they couldn’t carry people for long distances. They were mainly used for sending messages because of their formidable Combat Power, and fearlessness of losing messages to eagles.

Mu Hanyan bid farewell to Lu Nianxin, Yue Fanyi, Yue Fanchen, and Zhu Xiuqing, then mounted the Red Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast, heading towards Anyun.

This time, Mu Hanyan and the others took the original route back. The Red Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast which Grandmother specially prepared was extraordinarily swift, taking only half the time it took to arrive, Mu Hanyan and the others returned to Hanshan Town.

When the Exotic Beasts attacked the city, all the residents were forced to flee. However, having lived generations among the mountains, they were used to such events, and upon the retreat of the Exotic Beasts, they returned to Hanshan Town.

Arriving at Hanshan Town, seeing the gate and walls still scarred after repairs, everyone recalled the recent bitter battle, evoking a sense of emotion and sighs.

"You are...you are Lady Mu, ah no, the Princess! Commoner greets the Princess, the Princess has returned, quickly inform Lord City Master, the Princess has returned!" Shortly after entering town, a young man recognized Mu Hanyan, first paying respectful homage, then began shouting joyfully.

"The Princess has returned, the Princess has returned!" Other residents spread the word.

At that time, Mu Hanyan used herself as bait to lure away the two Fierce Stone Demons, allowing the residents of Hanshan Town to escape safely. They were deeply grateful to her, and after her identity was revealed, knowing she was the Shangyue Princess, Hanshan Town’s residents felt closer and reverential whenever she returned.

Soon, the Old City Lord arrived surrounded by a group of residents. Some were clan leaders of local major families, others were young elites who participated in the siege battle, more aware of the formidable and tyrannical nature of the two Fierce Stone Demons, and aware of the perilous situation at that time, thereby further revering Mu Hanyan who risked her life to save the town’s residents.

After greeting Mu Hanyan and exchanging a few words, everyone warmly invited Mu Hanyan to a feast.
