The General's Daughter Doesn't Want to Get Married!-Chapter 180: Return

The eastern part of the Empire isn’t a fertile land to grow corps and normal people to stay. However, it was an ideal place for the cultivators and Martial Artists together and to relax, because the place itself was full of spiritual energy.

The East part is also a place where the Empire’s border ends, and the start of the Forbidden Dark forest. The dark forest is rich with many century old herbs and treasures meant for both the normal and cultivator people, but if a normal person enters the forest at random, they would never come back alive.

During the winter, the monsters resting deep inside the forest come out to the borders and attack the county people. To prevent this disaster, the previous Emperor made a deal with the cultivators and the Martial Artists faction.

On that deal, it was stated that every year during the winter, the border will be opened and a tournament for the Young cultivators will be held in this place. At once, the test will be for cultivators to slay the monsters and beasts coming out of the forest and other rules as per the senior cultivators.

In exchange, all the herbs, monsters, treasures and such gathered by them will be permitted to be taken away by the cultivators. Over the years, they held the tournament without any third party’s barging in, and the clans also benefited from this a lot.

However, till now, not many treasures were found within the forest. Because if you want to get them, you’ll have to venture to the deepest places of the forest.

Many young cultivators were driven with greed, and they ventured deep into the forest, never to return again.

Aside from that, everything within the tournament has been grand and peaceful, but now, they weren’t so sure about that anymore.

"What to do, in such a time, I can only trust a few people to do something right. Those snake-like officials will only try to take advantage of this opportunity and steal funds, while some of them will put their nose in business they shouldn’t." Yun Cheng felt a headache as he pinched his forehead in annoyance, not sure what to do anymore.

’Only if Shu’er was here...’ Emperor Yun regrets as he looked at his brother, who had the same expression as him.

Yun Shu is a reliable and trusted girl recognised by the Emperor Yun, there was no mistake to put it this way, because many national secret matters were handled by her in the past, discreetly.

Thus, her absence made them wonder for other options.

"Brother, Shu’er is absent, and she is just coming back home after a long war. She must be tired as well. How about thinking of someone else we can trust this to?" Yun Xuan pondered as he thought of his run down daughter, coming back home after a long time.

"You are right, brother. Come to think of it, among all the trusted officials, I do have one not too busy right now. Do you think I should entrust this matter to him?" Emperor Yun nodded his head, seeking advice from Yun Xuan.

"Are you talking about, Chancellor of the state, brother?" Yun Xuan asked to confirm his suspicion.

"That’s right, I think Mo Ling Yuan would be the best candidate for this job, considering his past work experience and everything. That young man doesn’t seem to be ambitious and leads a humble life, modest like our Yun Shu. I personally thought that Shu’er would marry him if she hadn’t suddenly gone and married the General’s son." Seeing that Emperor Yun’s opinion of Mo Ling Yuan was positive, Yun Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"Chancellor Mo is indeed an excellent young man. However..." He trailed off.

"I don’t think any man is actually worthy enough to be my daughter’s husband!" Yun Xuan seemed proud as he said that, Yun Cheng also nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, Shu’er is the best! No matter what others say!"

Just as the two brothers were fangirling over their daughter and niece, Yun Shu got a chill down her spine.

’Which enemy is snitching behind my back? Must be the East County lord’s daughter...’

She thought as she closed the envelope with a stamp, giving it to one of her subordinates to take it to her father. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Finally, all the work was done." She stretched her hands as she looked at the bed, where Bai Yunxian was taking a nap. A smile propped up on her face naturally, because she found the scene to be endearing.

He worked hard for this whole month, without any proper rest. At least not until she dragged him away to get some rest. And now, she has also fully recovered.

During the time she spent with Bai Yunxian these three months, she got to know him well, and now she was convinced about something.

As the main character of this story, he is not strong at all!

Not only is he weak in body shape, his mentality is also fragile as a glass vase!

If he’s not strong enough to take care of himself, he can never be able to take care of others, forget about revenge.

They still have a long way to go. But first, she needs to strengthen him, both by body and mind.

It’s good that Chi Yan made him exercise and train in Martial Arts as long as he stayed in the camp. His health has improved significantly because of that, but it’s still not enough.

If he wears male clothes, they would dangle around his body, and wouldn’t fit perfectly. That’s why Yun Shu had to purchase clothes for a young man younger than him by two- three years.

’This isn’t gonna help. And I can’t force him to do things.’

That’s why when Yun Shu saw the new quest popping up at the game window, she made a good plan.

The best way to teach someone something is directly letting them experience it themselves!

That’s why Yun Shu took on this project to break and mold this crybaby man into a perfect shape, that will be revered no matter where he went.

And to do this, she needs to go to the East, make him fall into worse situations and let him suffer a bit, so that he would get encouraged and learn how to take care of himself.

"I’m sorry in advance, Xian xian. But you need to get some self reliance from now on...!"

For some reason, Bai Yunxian gets chills down his spine as he trembles like a little rabbit, changing sides as he sleeps deeply.

***

Early morning, at the Empire.

The entire capital city was bustling with crowds, people walking out of their homes and gathering across the streets, the entire city was in a festive mode.

Because today, the Empire’s heroes will enter the Capital, and to honor their arrival, the Emperor ordered to distribute food and ration to the commoner from the treasury. The people were happy and content to know that their beloved people were all returning back.

While in the Yun manor, two women were constantly pacing back and forth, anxious about something.

"Sister, when do you think they will come home?"

"I don’t know either, but I have a doubt that they are not gonna come home easily."

"I’m really anxious, it’s been so many days since i saw my baby, i don’t know how he’s been faring. On top of that, he almost died, Shu’er..." Mother Yun hid her face with both hands, trying to hide her tears.

"Sister, don’t cry anymore. I believe he is alive and healthy, and he is also coming back soon." Mother Bai soothes the woman as she pats her back.

After staying together for a few months, both mothers grew a strong bond with each other, just like sisters from the same womb. As mothers, both of them shared the same worry and pain together, which brought them closer.

While Yun Shu and Bai Yunxian were out, they worked hard at home, spent time together, went to inspect around, watching over the scrolls and scriptures.

As they both were acting anxious, Yun Chu smiled as he said, "Mother, Aunt Bai, don’t worry. I believe Shu’er and Xian’er will come back just fine."

"Yes, of course. Our Shu’er is so smart. He will definitely watch over Xian’er and escort her back home!" Yun Xiao nodded his head in agreement with his brother.

To tell the truth, all the brothers and their father also missed those both juniors.
