Chapter 388: Chapter 388, Exposing Liuka
"Because there’s no Sacred Relic, because the Spiritual Poisonous Insects don’t like drinking your blood, don’t heed your commands, am I right?" Yun Jinnian said calmly, lifting her eyes to the distant green mountains, "I don’t wish to be any Saintess; I only want to finish what I’ve started, and return to the Capital City!"
"You’re not staying in Nanjiang?" Liuka exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, I won’t be staying in Nanjiang!"
"Why?"
Yun Jinnian slightly pursed her lips and smiled, "Because this isn’t my home, my home is in the Capital City. There I have my mother, my maternal grandfather, my sisters; I must return there!"
"The elders won’t agree!"
Yun Jinnian smiled, "They will agree!"
If she insisted stubbornly and the Spiritual Poisonous Insects didn’t obey them, the five elders had no choice but to compromise.
Liuka bit her lip, originally wanting to say some harsh words to provoke Yun Jinnian, but then she saw Telan approaching quickly, bending over to greet Yun Jinnian, "Saintess, the carriage is ready, and we will set off in a moment!"
"Mhm!"
These past few days had been very worrisome for Yun Jinnian, but there was no helping it.
She couldn’t leave, couldn’t escape, so she had to nestle down and recover first.
Not that she hadn’t mentioned it, but the five elders kept delaying without agreeing, yet unexpectedly, today they were willing.
Casually dressed, Telan stepped forward to lift Yun Jinnian into the carriage. Inside, thick carpets were laid out, and Yun Jinnian took up most of the space, with four beautiful maids sitting on either side. Telan poured some warm Snow Lotus Dew for Yun Jinnian to drink, "Saintess, please drink some water first. With our current pace, we should arrive by tomorrow evening!"
Yun Jinnian nodded her head.
Actually, these people had been good to her and never skimped on food or clothing.
Eating Snow Lotus daily, her wounds healed quickly.
After all, Snow Lotus was an extremely valuable item, yet they gave it to her daily.
Of course, it was also to nourish her body to feed the Poisonous Insects with her blood.
The Elder Jin would also talk to her about matters of Nanjiang, but she showed little interest. However, she was rather curious about Nanjiang’s medical skills, so the Elder Tu was sent instead.
All along the way, accommodations for eating and staying were well arranged. Even when Yun Jinnian needed to relieve herself, Telan and a few others were very meticulous in their service. Liuka, on the other hand, seldom intervened.
In the blink of an eye, another night passed, and Yun Jinnian couldn’t help but sigh.
She wouldn’t be able to celebrate Tianci’s birthday!
The main city of Nanjiang was Licheng, and at this moment, Han Tianci was glaring at Amu. He detested Amu, and Amu didn’t like the little devil Han Tianci either, finding him extremely vexing.
He even dared to put croton in his meal, nearly causing him to lose his life!
"Young Master, it’s time to eat!" Shi Jiayu came to call Han Tianci to dine with Prince Yanjun.
Han Tianci stuck his tongue out at Amu and pulled a mischievous face before scampering off.
"This little brat, one day, I will have my revenge!" Amu said bitterly.
Turning his head away.
Once bustling with people, now only two were left, even Hemei and Henuan had gone to find Yun Jinnian.
"Commandery Prince, I feel unwell!" Han Tianci held his chopsticks, unwilling to eat.
Prince Yanjun rubbed Han Tianci’s head, silently picking food for him and scooping soup.
This child was actually very sensible and quite endearing.
At least, he liked him very much.
Han Tianci looked up at Prince Yanjun and obediently lowered his head to eat, but he found it hard to swallow.
Watching him, Prince Yanjun felt a pang of distress yet said no words of comfort.
The carriage stopped in front of the manor entrance. As the doorman saw who descended from the carriage, he was stunned momentarily before running towards the house, "Young Master, Young Master, the Miss is back, the Miss is back!"
