Li Wanji rested in a side room under the arrangement of Grandma Shancha.
The room was decorated simply and elegantly, with green curtains hanging on the window frames, fluttering gently in the wind.
Li Wanji lay on the soft couch and fell asleep soon.
She slept very deeply and did not wake up until the sun was setting.
Li Wanji opened her sleepy eyes, looked at the sky outside the window, and was instantly awakened from all sleepiness.
What time is it? How did she sleep for so long?
Li Wanji felt a little flustered, and quickly got up, tidied herself up, pushed the door and walked out.
When Granny Shancha saw her coming out, she came over to greet her.
"Miss Li, the young master has been waiting for a long time."
"Let him wait if he wants. I didn't ask him to wait for me."
Li Wanji said unhappily. She was still inexplicably resistant to being alone with Jiu Luo Nanxing.
"Miss Li, please stop being so petty. Young Master has specifically ordered that he will personally escort you away."
Grandma Shancha looked at Li Wanji's expression and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
"I will leave by myself, I don't need him to send me off."
Li Wanji said this and walked out.
"Aiya, why are you so willful? Young Master has specially prepared dinner for you. It's not too late to eat before leaving."
Grandma Shancha said this, and caught up with her in a few steps, pulling her into the dining room without saying anything.
Jiuluo Nanxing had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw her come in, he looked up at her.
"Does it still hurt?"
This question again!
Li Wanji looked at Jiuluo Nanxing speechlessly. It had been so long, why did he still remember this question?
"Thanks to Young Valley Master's concern, everything is fine now."
She replied uncomfortably, noticing the food on the table.
Although there were only two dishes and a pot of soup, they were delicious and you could tell a lot of thought went into their preparation.
"sit down!"
Jiuluo Nanxing pointed to the seat at the table and motioned for her to sit down.
Li Wanji hesitated for a moment, but still sat down opposite him.
Seeing this, Granny Shancha tactfully stepped back, leaving the space to the two of them.
"I heard Shancha say that you're leaving?"
Jiuluo Nanxing spoke first, his tone was very calm.
"Ah."
Li Wanji nodded and responded.
"Why don't you stay? Are you still worried about what happened last night?"
Jiuluo Nanxing put down his chopsticks, looked at her and asked.
Li Wanji felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and said softly, "No. Young Valley Master, I told you that I came here to bring my child to become a disciple. Now that the Flower God Festival is over, it's time for me to leave."
Jiuluo Nanxing was silent for a moment before asking, "Then... where are you going next?"
"The Blue Sea."
"The Blue Sea is very far from here. It will be inconvenient for you to travel with two children. It is better to stay here and leave another day."
Jiuluo Nanxing said in a deep voice, his tone very sincere.
"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master, but we have important matters to attend to, so we can't stay for long."
Li Wanji politely declined.
She really didn't want to be entangled with Jiuluo Nanxing anymore. This man was like a rose with thorns, beautiful but very prickly.
Jiuluo Nanxing didn't say anything else, just looked at her, with a complex emotion flashing in his deep eyes.
Li Wanji felt a little frightened by his gaze, and her palms were sweating from nervousness.
She felt that Jiuluo Nanxing seemed to have something to say, but she didn't know how to start.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little dull, and neither of them spoke anymore.
Li Wanji felt that the atmosphere was so oppressive that she couldn't breathe, and she just wanted to find a topic to break the stalemate.
"Young Valley Master, I..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Jiuluo Nanxing suddenly raised her hand and interrupted her.
"I know what you are going to say. After this meal, I will send you away."
Li Wanji opened her mouth, but finally swallowed the second half of the sentence.
She felt that Jiuluo Nanxing seemed to be deliberately avoiding something and didn't want to talk about certain topics with her.
In that case, why should she make herself unhappy?
Li Wanji simply focused on eating and stopped talking.
When Jiuluo Nanxing saw her like this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he soon returned to normal.
The meal was a bit dull. It didn't feel like a farewell party, but more like a silent wrestling match.
Both of them ate absent-mindedly and barely touched the food on the table.
Li Wanji tried to speak several times to ease the depressing atmosphere, but finally swallowed her words back.
Jiuluo Nanxing seemed to be deliberately keeping her distance, so why should she bother trying to please someone so cold?
After finally finishing the tasteless meal, Jiuluo Nanxing stood up first.
"Let's go."
He said this and walked out of the dining room.
Li Wanji hurriedly followed. She always felt that Jiuluo Nanxing seemed angry, but she was not sure what she was angry about.
The two walked in the corridor, and no one spoke.
Jiuluo Nanxing was in front and Li Wanji was behind. There was a distance between them, but it seemed like there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them.
After walking for a while, Jiuluo Nanxing suddenly stopped.
Li Wanji almost bumped into his back, and quickly steadied herself and looked up at him.
"what happened?"
"you……"
Jiuluo Nanxing just opened his mouth, as if he remembered something, and changed his words: "Let's go!"
He took the lead and continued to move forward.
Li Wanji blinked and looked at his back, feeling a little confused.
This man seemed to be hesitant to speak just now. What exactly did he want to say?
She shook her head and quickly followed his steps.
The two of them spoke nothing along the way and soon arrived at the entrance of Wanhua Valley.
At this time, Jiuluo Nanxing had already asked Grandma Shancha to bring all the children over.
"Mom, are you leaving?"
Li Ziyuan looked at Li Wanji reluctantly, tears in her eyes.
"Yes, mother is leaving. You must listen to Master and practice hard. Don't be lazy."
Li Wanji touched her head and spoke softly.
"Flower refining is so difficult. My master is always mean to me. Am I so stupid? I can't learn anything well!"
Li Ziyuan pursed his lips and tears fell down.
"Xiao Qi is not stupid. Doesn't Xiao Qi like Master the most? Your Master, Elder Baili, is just a little strict. You should ask your brothers and sisters for advice. They will help you."
Li Wanji raised her hand to wipe away her tears and spoke gently.
"I will."
Li Ziyuan sniffed and nodded vigorously.
"Fourth brother, Sixth sister, Xiaoqi doesn't want to be separated from you."
Li Ziyuan pulled the corners of Li Luyuan and Li Lanyuan's clothes, and the three of them burst into tears.
"Be good, Xiaoqi, we will meet again."
Li Luyuan coaxed Li Ziyuan softly, feeling somewhat reluctant.
"Xiao Qi, use the communication magic weapon to contact us when you miss us!"
Li Lanyuan raised his hand to wipe away his sister's tears, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Okay, Xiaoqi, go back quickly! When you have learned enough, come back to Wanji Mountain to visit your mother."
Li Wanji instructed, while looking up at Jiuluo Nanxing.
"Young Valley Master, we are sorry for bothering you for so many days. Now we have to leave. I'd like to ask you to take good care of Ziyuan."
"Ah."
Jiuluo Nanxing responded calmly and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Li Wanji knew that he didn't want to talk to her at the moment, so she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Jiuluo Nanxing suddenly called her.
Li Wanji stopped, turned around and looked at him, wondering what else he wanted to say.
"Take this."
Jiuluo Nanxing raised his hand and took out a star bracelet, walked forward and put it on Li Wanji's wrist.
"Young Master, this is unacceptable. No merit, no reward."
Li Wanji hurriedly tried to take off the star bracelet on her wrist, but Jiuluo Nanxing raised his hand and held her down.
"You helped my heart blossom. This star bracelet is a thank you gift. Don't refuse it."
Jiuluo Nanxing said in a deep voice, with a flash of determination in his eyes that could not be refused.
Li Wanji did not refuse after he held her wrist. She just looked at him and suddenly felt that his figure seemed a little thin.
"Young Valley Master, we'll see you later."
She said softly, feeling somewhat lost in her heart.
Jiuluo Nanxing didn't say anything, as if he was suppressing something, and finally only uttered a few words.
"Safe travels."
His voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes were fixed on Li Wanji, as if he wanted to engrave her figure into his heart.
Li Wanji didn't look at him again, turned around, and left Wanhua Valley with the children.
On the way back to Jiangxiao Tower, Granny Shancha saw that Jiuluo Nanxing was silent all the way, so she asked tentatively: "Young Valley Master, why don't you keep Miss Li? She is a good girl and worthy of you."
"Mother-in-law, some things can't be forced."
Jiuluo Nanxing said in a calm voice, with some reluctance in his eyes.
"But, you and Miss Li..."
Grandma Shancha wanted to say something, but finally swallowed her words.
Over the years, many girls have fallen in love with Jiuluo Nanxing and wanted to become the young lady of Wanhua Valley, but he rejected them one by one.
Now that he finally found a girl who caught his eye, he still couldn't keep her. What a pity.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you? What's making you so upset?"
Granny Camellia looked at him and asked in confusion.
Jiuluo Nanxing did not answer, but looked into the distance with a flash of determination in his eyes.
After all, the fate between him and Li Wanji was too shallow, and if they missed it, they missed it.
Now he is heading to the underworld to regain his position as the Lord of the Underworld and stop an impending war. His life and death are uncertain, and some things are better kept in his heart than spoken out.
