Chapter 628: Set Off!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next day, after Gu Qingluan woke up, she not only heard the continuation of the story from Wei Yuantong and the servants in the mansion but also received a detailed account from Gu Qinâer.
Listening to it as if it were a joke, Gu Qingluan paid no further attention.
Whether it was Gu Jinrong or Gu Jinyue, they wouldnât be able to stir up any storms in the future. For her, it was all just a passing cloud.
After an early breakfast, the family of four prepared to set off for the Qiankun Academy.
Apart from Tang Shijun, Lu Bainian, and the Crown Prince, she hadnât informed anyone else of her departure from the capital.
Early in the morning, Tang Shijun, Lu Bainian, and the Crown Prince came to bid farewell.
After a heartfelt farewell, Gu Qingluan smiled and asked them to return.
Tang Shijun hesitated and stepped forward to hug her.
Feng Tianlan, standing nearby, had a slight furrow in his brow.
Tang Shijun pretended not to notice rhe substantial gaze upon him and tightly embraced Gu Qingluan. âQingluan, make sure to come back often. The next time you return, Salvation Flail will surely have prospered!â
Gu Qingluan raised her lips. âAlright, you do your best.11
âYeah, 1 will!â Tang Shijun nodded firmly, reluctant to let go.
âWeâre leaving now, no need to see us off anymore.â
Gu Qingluan waved her hand, then lifted Yuanxi and mounted her horse.
To expedite their journey, Gu Qingluan didnât bring too many people. Everyone was dressed simply, and horseback riding was the primary mode of transport.
According to Gu Qingluanâs wishes, Xiao nan and Yuanxi could be more comfortable inside Stellar Space.
However, the two little ones insisted on accompanying them, so Gu Qingluan agreed.
She and Feng Tianlan each took one of them.
Feng Tianlan and Gu Xiaonan got on another horse.
The group set off on horseback.
They hadnât reached the city gate yet when they saw a crowd of people gathered there.
Gu Xiaonan widened his eyes and looked ahead. âHuh, is something happening?â
Gu Qingluan replied, âIt seems they are welcoming someone, and it has nothing to do with us. Letâs keep going.â
However, as they approached, the people guarding the city gates suddenly shouted with excitement, âSafe travels, Guardian Princessââ
âGuardian Princess, remember to come back often!â
âMay Guardian Princess have a safe journey!ââ
âYoungMasters Xiaonan and Yuanxi, youâre the best!â
Their loud voices were deafening.
It surprised Gu Qingluan and her companions.
Afterward, Gu Xiaonan excitedly exclaimed, âWow, Mother, 1 didnât know everyone came to see us off!â
His little face flushed with excitement, and his eyes sparkled like gemstones.
Gu Qingluan had already regained her composure, and she looked at the enthusiastic crowd. A faint smile graced her graceful features. âYes.â
âGuardian Princess, these are homemade pastries from my family, something you canât taste anywhere else. Please have them on your journey.â A young girl with rosy cheeks held up a basket woven with flowers.
âGuardian Princess, I made this hidden weapon. When you take a rest on your journey, you can place it around the area. As soon as any wild beasts approach, it will immediately alert you,â said a middle-aged man, holding up a peculiar-looking object.
âAnd mineâŠâ
âAnd mineâŠâ
Everyone was incredibly enthusiastic.
Gu Qingluan and her group were surrounded, feeling both touched and amused.
âWe appreciate everyoneâs kindness, but carrying so many things with us is inconvenient. Please take everything back.â
âBut we can escort them to your mansion, so next time you return, you can choose to use them.â
âBut my gift is pastries, and theyâll spoil if kept for long.â
Gu Qingluan said, âThank you very much for your generosity. 1 am not lacking in resources, and if all of you want to, you can use your goodwill to help more people. My assistance is just a small effort.â
âGuardian Princess, youâre being too humble. To Tianjing City and all the people in our city, you are a Bodhisattva, a guardian deity, worthy of our respect.â
âYes, Princess Huiguo, no matter how far you go, we will always remember you. But please do remember to come back; the people of Tianjing City will always welcome you.â
âWe ll follow your instructions. Weâll deliver these items to Salvation Hall later. If they can be used there, great. If not, we ll look for other ways to donate them.â
Gu Qingluan smiled warmly.
They were truly a group of lovely and simple-hearted people.
Even after they left the city and reached the outskirts, Gu Qingluan felt as though she could still hear the farewell voices from behind.
Wei Yuantong sighed. â1 never thought that Madam Feng would have such high prestige in Tianjing City.â
âItâs thanks to everyoneâs kindness. 1 actually havenât done much.â
Wei Yuantong shook his head gently. That couldnât be described as not doing much.
How many people in the world could accomplish so much for a cityâs residents in such a short time?
Moreover, those things she did werenât even her obligation. She wasnât the city lord or the sovereign, so she could have chosen to remain indifferent.
But she chose to act.
No wonder everyone respected her.
The journey ahead would be rushed, and nobody had the mood for sightseeing. They traveled almost day and night.
There were no teleportation portals between Tianjing City and other cities, but if they passed through cities with teleportation portals, they used them, greatly reducing travel time.
Four days later, Gu Qingluan and her group entered the borders of the Holy Heaven Dynasty..
