Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Farewell 9

Lady Zhusha thought about it, her expression turning as unpleasant as it could possibly be.

Lei He assumed that Lady Zhusha really did not want him to bring her food, which is why her expression was so unsightly.

So he spoke up, "Since you feel it’s not appropriate for me to continue bringing you food from the kitchen, I won’t do it anymore. But, Lady Zhusha, remember to go to the dining hall to eat."

Zhusha: ...

She furrowed her brows tightly, originally believing she held a special place in Lei He’s heart.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he saw Mu Lingyun and Bai Yueru, he seemed to forget about her.

Now, he wouldn’t even bring her food, which infuriated her to no end.

Thus, with a scowl, Zhusha said to Lei He, "Noted, you can leave now, no need to see me out!"

After speaking, Zhusha left with a swish of her hand.

Lei He watched Zhusha’s receding figure, somewhat puzzled.

He had clearly done as Zhusha wished, so why was she still unhappy?

He pondered for a good while but still couldn’t figure it out, and in the end, he could only walk away.

The next day, Mu Lingyun bid farewell to Wan Li and subsequently left the stronghold.

Bai Yueru, of course, saw Mu Lingyun off.

They first returned to Luoyang Manor.

Once back at the manor, their first stop was the study, where they met Bai Wei.

Mu Lingyun directly discussed with Bai Wei her hope for Bai Yueru to join the Tiangan Army and assist Wan Li in leading it.

Bai Wei looked at Bai Yueru with great surprise.

Being a daughter recently reunited with him, he hadn’t completely understood her yet.

He hadn’t expected Mu Lingyun to value his daughter so greatly.

"If you desire to proceed in this way, naturally, I will not stop you, but the problem is..."

Bai Wei trailed off.

Despite being his daughter, and even his legitimate daughter, he didn’t fully trust in her capabilities.

Seeing this, Mu Lingyun directly said, "Are you worried about Yueru’s strength, Uncle Bai? In fact, there’s no need for concern. Do you know Yuwen Le?"

Bai Wei nodded upon hearing this.

Yuwen Le was a rising star within the Tiangan Army.

His abilities were close to matching Wan Li’s.

Given time, he should be able to reach the heights Wan Li has achieved!

"Yuwen Le has been defeated by Yueru," said Mu Lingyun lightly.

Bai Wei, somewhat astonished, looked at Bai Yueru and said incredulously, "Really?"

Bai Yueru’s voice was indifferent, "That is all."

Bai Wei: ...

He felt that he should indeed reassess his newfound daughter.

"In that case, I have no objections at all," Bai Wei said.

Mu Lingyun smiled upon hearing this and continued, "I plan to leave tomorrow for Wangji, to assume the role of a hostage once again. Please prepare a horse for me, Uncle Bai."

"You’re going back to be a hostage?" Bai Wei frowned, a worried look in his eyes.

If it were up to him, he would sincerely wish that Mu Lingyun wouldn’t return to play the part of any old hostage.

"I must go back, as there are reasons I cannot avoid, Uncle Bai, don’t try to dissuade me," Mu Lingyun said with a light smile.

Bai Wei listened and furrowed his brows, then said, "I understand! However, there has been a group of people searching for you covertly. They have been looking along the Luo River, and my investigations confirm they are not from the Qin Kingdom. I am unsure who they are; I’ve already sent people to inquire. Perhaps we will have results by tomorrow."

Mu Lingyun was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"When you have the results, Uncle Bai, let me know," said Mu Lingyun.
