"Is the Azure Emperor taking them away?" Feng Jiu's voice drifted over.
"Mother!"
Hao'er and the others called out, rising to their feet as she entered. Mu Chen asked, "But Mother, weren't you in seclusion?" His gaze then fell upon Mi'er standing by the palace doors, whispering to him that she had come to fetch her.
Feng Jiu smiled as she approached. "I instructed Mi'er to summon me if anything arose. Since your master has arrived, even if Mother were in seclusion, she must come out to receive him."
She walked over and sat down, looking at the Azure Emperor. "Since you've come, Azure Emperor, why not stay for a few days?"
Azure Emperor looked at her and said, "I intend to take them to find suitable weapons. After that, we'll return directly to Yunxiao Mountain, so Yun Qi will be coming with us as well."
His voice paused briefly before he added, "No need for a stay. We'll rest today and depart tomorrow." These words were meant for Feng Jiu, but also for the three children.
