The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Youning said disdainfully: "Humph, you are just bragging! But since you are here, please tell my grandfather that I am going home."

Sui Dan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Your grandfather knew that you wanted to go home to take care of your butt, so he specifically asked me to escort you back here."

Cheng Youning couldn't help but open his eyes wide when he heard this. He asked in astonishment, "How did Grandpa know that I wanted to go home to take care of my butt?"

Sui Dan smiled and said leisurely: "The emperor is well versed in the art of controlling people. How much ability can a child like you have? You just go home to your mother when you are wronged. No matter what you want to do, you can't escape the emperor's eyes. Everything is under his control. Well, don't dawdle, hurry up and get on the road. I'll take you there."

Cheng Youning's mouth twitched in pain. He held his waist and said, "Which way should we go back?"

Sui Dan raised his hand and pointed into the distance, his eyes extending along the mountain, and said: "There is a war going on at the foot of the mountain. It is very dangerous in the chaos. I will take you to take a detour through the mountain road."

Cheng Youning looked at the rolling mountains and said, "Wouldn't it take a long time to walk there?"

Sui Dan said, "Of course it will take a long time, but do you dare to go down the mountain? Look at the foot of the mountain, there are ambushes everywhere, rocks are rolling down, arrows are flying everywhere, if we go down we will either be crushed or become a sieve. If you want to go home, the only way is to take the mountain road, unless you stay and don't leave."

Cheng Youning looked stubborn and said firmly: "I have to go home! I won't stay here for another day!"

Sui Dan said, "Since you insist so much, then stop talking nonsense and let's go."

Qiao Rong felt sorry for Cheng Youning, so he bent down and said, "Young Master, I'll carry you on my back."

However, Cheng Youning refused: "How can you carry me on such a long mountain road? Just hold me."

At this time, Sui Dan interrupted and said, "Yes, Qiao Rong, just ignore him. Just now in the big tent, he vowed that he would crawl back even if he had to."

Cheng Youning glared at Sui Dan and said unhappily: "Dandan, you don't have to laugh at me. I said I can go back, so I can definitely go back. What's a mere mountain road? Am I, Cheng Youning, afraid of walking?" After saying that, Cheng Youning took a step forward.

Sui Dan looked at the stubborn Cheng Youning and couldn't help but sigh: "Yeah, don't you see whose disciple you are."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Youning whispered to Sui Dan: "Dandan, do you know where my master went? Except for you who occasionally mentioned my master, everyone else seemed to have forgotten my master. I haven't seen my master since we separated in Duanlu Lin. I asked people around me, but they were all evasive and didn't mean what they said. It felt like my master wouldn't come back. No one told me the truth, so I stopped asking. What mission did my master leave for? Will he come back? Do you know where my master is?"

It was obvious that Cheng Youning missed his followers very much.

Sui Dan could only shake his head after hearing what Cheng Youning said, "I don't have any news about him either. He has been elusive, and it's extremely difficult to find him. He doesn't want to come back, so it's useless for us to say anything."

"Why doesn't my master come back? Did something happen in the meantime that I don't know about?" Although Cheng Youning was only a few years old, he could sense something.

Sui Dan suddenly became serious and said earnestly: "You, a child, should not interfere in adult matters. For example, today, if you had not acted rashly and offended General Sha, your grandfather would not have been willing to fight you."

Cheng Youning knew he had made a mistake, so he didn't dare to say anything too tough, but he still wanted to say something for himself: "I'm just afraid that General Sha can't defend this place and let the enemy in."

Sui Dan said: "You can rest assured that your little grandfather employs people. Sha Guanghan and his son are absolutely loyal to the emperor. Those who are disloyal and unrighteous will disappear from your little grandfather's side."

Cheng Youning suddenly turned his head and looked at Sui Dan, "You mean, my master's follower did something disloyal and unjust to my grandfather, so he disappeared?"

Sui Dan glanced around nervously: "What are you talking about? Your master is loyal to your little grandfather and has no second thoughts."

"Then tell me where my master went?"

Facing Cheng Youning's questioning, Sui Dan had to lower his voice and said, "If you want to know the answer to this matter, go ask your grandfather. What do we have to say?"

"I asked him, and he always said that the master was out on business and would come back naturally when it was time." Cheng Youning paused for a moment, then continued, "But I don't believe it. I think my grandfather is also lying to me. Where can my master go? Is there anyone else in his family?"

Sui Dan shook his head: "He doesn't have any family. Your little grandfather is the closest person to him. Alas!"

Cheng Youning asked again: "After he left my grandfather, how did he make a living?"

Sui Dan couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You are actually worried about how your master makes a living."

"Of course I'm worried. He doesn't seem to know anything except martial arts. I hope he won't be cold or hungry out there."

Sui Dan looked at Cheng Youning who looked like he knew nothing, and consoled him, "Your master is just like me, a rare genius in the world. Don't worry, a man like him will never starve to death anywhere."

"Then will he come back?"

Sui Dan shook his head: "It's hard to say. I suggest you don't mention this person anymore."

"why?"

"Mentioning him is like causing trouble for your grandfather."

Cheng Youning nodded as if he understood, but chose not to ask any more questions. Because no one was keeping it from him, he wouldn't get any results even if he tried.

In order to avoid the battlefield, Sui Dan led Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong to take a long mountain road. The mountain was shaded by trees and overgrown with weeds. They walked forward with difficulty, from the sun above their heads to the sunset in the west, but they did not even get out of the forest.

Cheng Youning stopped and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. He looked at the road ahead that seemed to have no end. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. He turned to look at Sui Dan who was leading the way and asked, "Dandan, did you take us too far around? I feel that this mountain range shouldn't be so difficult to walk through."

Sui Dan, who was also very tired, was a little impatient after hearing this. He responded, "If it weren't for the two of you, I would have walked out of this forest long ago."

At this point, Cheng Youning was a little bit distrustful and he urged, "Hurry up and climb the tree to see if we are going in the wrong direction."

Sui Dan said nonchalantly, "It can't be wrong."
