Cheng Lingyu convinced the Second Prince to take her to the Vermilion Bird Empire.
In such circumstances, being able to make the Second Prince take her along, Gu Shengyin had to admire that Cheng Lingyu indeed had skills.
However, having Cheng Lingyu under her watchful eye was a good thing for her.
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the day of departure arrived.
The night before leaving, Gu Shengyin came to bid farewell to the Great High Priest.
"Teacher, I won't be returning for many days. I hope you take care of your health," she kindly bowed to the Great High Priest.
The Great High Priest looked at her, speaking softly, "You don't need to worry about me. It's yourself you should be mindful of for safety."
Gu Shengyin nodded in agreement and, after finishing speaking, suddenly looked up and softly said, "Teacher, I can't bear to part from you."
