Lianyi wanted to say something, but in the end, she was at a loss for words, choking back sobs. She sat there, weeping, for a long time before slowly rising to her feet. Wiping away her tears, she whispered, "Young Master, Lianyi won't be able to personally welcome you back in triumph. But no matter what, you will always be Lianyi's Young Master! Always!"
「Three days later.」 Having arranged all her affairs at home, Lianyi left the National Guardian General's Mansion, where she had lived for eighteen years.
Outside the city, she saw the two old women.
Their attitudes had indeed completely changed. The deep-seated arrogance they once hid was now entirely gone.
Instead, their gazes toward Lianyi held a hint of ingratiation and fear.
'How strange,' Lianyi thought. 'I wonder what trick Young Master Feng used to intimidate these two powerful and impossibly arrogant old women.'
"Alright, let's go," Lianyi said calmly.
The two old women nodded and led Lianyi away, heading west.
