Ji Youyuan looked at her and chuckled, saying, "Are you the one missing them?"
The little girl giggled. Earlier, she had told her uncle that she missed her grandmother and aunt.
"So, do you miss them, uncle?"
Ji Youyuan blinked and deliberately looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear what she said.
"Don't pretend, uncle, you obviously miss them a lot, don't you? I already know."
Ji Youyuan couldn't keep up the pretense anymore. He helplessly patted the little girl's head and, coaxing her while persuading himself, said, "As soon as the issues here are resolved, we'll start our journey back!"
"Alright! We can go back tomorrow!"
Ji Youyuan blinked, somewhat perplexed, and asked, "How do you know we can go back tomorrow?"
Xiaosuisui blinked back and said, "Once we've solved the issues at Xianyu Pass, can't we go back?"
Ji Youyuan laughed.
"You think the issues at Xianyu Pass have been resolved?"
"Yeah! Once we don't go to war with Xiling Country, isn't it solved?"
