The visitor is none other than Little Situ.

Since parting at the Wu Wang Forest, more than a year has passed.

Unexpectedly, today Uncle Fu suddenly sent word that a disciple of Xuanhu Pavilion had come to visit.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun immediately hurried out.

After a year's separation, Little Situ had not changed much.

Still sitting in a soft sedan chair, evidently her legs were still immobile.

Only now, she was dressed in women's clothing.

The simple white attire perfectly showcased a delicate elegance.

Her smile was full of sincerity, all filled with the joy of meeting once again.

Even the four maidens of East, South, West, and North were as cold as they were back then.

No... to be accurate, even colder than before.

Especially when looking at Su Mo, not only the coldness but also seemingly a bit of anger.

When looking at Yang Xiaoyun, however, there wasn't any special treatment, instead, she appeared more enthusiastic than with Su Mo.

"Little Situ, long time no see."

Upon hearing that Little Situ had come to visit, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

That night in the torrential rain, the experiences in the mountain cave once again surged in his mind.

At that time, he hadn't hidden it from Yang Xiaoyun, before marriage, Su Mo even considered going to Xuanhu Pavilion for a visit.

After all, he couldn't let things cool down.

As a result, overwhelmed with numerous matters, the trip to Xuanhu Pavilion ultimately failed.

Unexpectedly, after a year, Little Situ had come to the door.

Yang Xiaoyun stood beside Su Mo, secretly sizing up Little Situ before her.

Having heard Su Mo's words earlier, she was very curious about Little Situ.

Now seeing her like this, completely different from the image of the bullied young gentleman from that day.

Though her legs were immobile, her face showed no signs of discouragement; instead, it carried a kind of invigorating vitality.

Her appearance wasn't breathtakingly beautiful.

But still quite exquisite, only her beauty was more of a "small-town jewel, pitiable" feeling.

As their eyes met, Little Situ's face reddened from being secretly observed by Yang Xiaoyun:

"Madam Su..."

"Hahaha."

Yang Xiaoyun laughed heartily:

"There's no need for such a formal address. You share a deep friendship with my husband, and both of us are daughters of a family.

"You may call me Sister Yun, like my husband did in the past."

"Sister Yun."

Little Situ's eyes lit up immediately, she forgot about the steamed bun and just nodded repeatedly.

Yang Xiaoyun could see that Su Mo was somewhat awkward.

The couple had deep affection for each other, and they understood each other's thoughts clearly. Yang Xiaoyun then spoke first:

"He's been busy running around all year, passing by home several times without time to come in.

"I originally wanted to go to Xuanhu Pavilion to find you, but it didn't happen.

"The Donghuang Escort Alliance is newly established, with numerous matters, many things depend on him.

"Only recently has he had a moment to breathe.

"Sister Situ, please don't blame him."

Su Mo was momentarily speechless, how could he have his wife explain such matters to him?

Little Situ was stunned upon hearing this, the next moment, her face flushed red.

If Yang Xiaoyun said this, it meant that Su Mo had indeed not hidden anything from her.

She knew what had happened in the mountain cave that day.

Now these words, was she hinting at her? Or... really helping Su Mo explain?

But if it's an explanation, she is Su Mo's wife, why bother explaining it to her?

In a moment of inner chaos, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

In panic, she could only shake her head and say:

"I...I wouldn't blame him..."

Yang Xiaoyun, seeing her like this, couldn't help but want to laugh, but then held back, saying:

"That's good.

"Sister, during this trip over, plan to stay longer at Ziyang Escort Agency.

"Treat this place like your own home."

"Ah..."

Little Situ was momentarily stunned but quite moved.

However, the next moment, her face dimmed:

"Sister Yun's kindness, I fear I cannot accept it.

"I'm actually here to say goodbye."

"Hmm?"

Yang Xiaoyun and Su Mo were both stunned:

"You're going on a long journey?"

If not a long journey, why come specifically to say goodbye?

Traveling all the way from Xuanhu Pavilion to Luoxia City, to say goodbye to Su Mo, felt excessively redundant.

Unless the place Little Situ intended to go was even farther than any location in Donghuang.

Little Situ smiled slightly:

"Yes, I mentioned this to Su, the Chief of the Escort.

"The reason for entering Jianghu was to seek an opportunity to heal my legs.

"Unfortunately, Donghuang doesn't have the opportunity I seek...

"So, my elders at home advised me to leave Donghuang and search elsewhere."

"Where are you going?"

Su Mo asked.

"…I have no direction,"

Little Situ replied smiling:

"Wherever I go, that's where I'll be.

"Now, in Luoxia City, I thought, after bidding farewell to you two, I could easily enter Nanhai from Nanhai Bay.

"There are many islands at sea, with many legends.

"Maybe I'll find something.

"However, this journey is long by mountains and waters, who knows when we'll meet again.

"I just wanted to say goodbye and thank Su, the Chief of the Escort, for accompanying and protecting me previously."

Though she tried her best to keep her voice steady, there was a subtle tremble when she spoke here.

Although not easy to detect, it was hard to completely hide.

Yet Su Mo was somewhat astonished:

"You're going to Nanhai too?"

"Hmm…"
