The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 31. Back To Unite

Xiao Mingyui, Xiao Xiangqing, and Xiao Jiwang, each of them began to busily prepare to return to the Capital City. Xiao Mingyui's two legs had already started to function better and were not as bad as before due to Xiao Jiwang's help. To be honest, the two eyes of the woman were a little sleepy because from night to morning she was busy training her legs with Xiao Jiwang.

Xiao Mingyui's appearance was already very tidy, the woman had now returned wearing her battle-ready clothes as usual. Just as he was about to thrust the white jade hair pin into his little bun, Xiao Xiangqing suddenly appeared and asked, "Jiejie, are you ready?"

Xiao Mingyui turned his head and looked at his sister's usual handsome face.

"Yes, I am ready," Xiao Mingyui replied, then stepped towards Xiao Xiangqing after he had finished stabbing the hair pin.

Xiao Xiangqing stretched out his right hand, now the layer of bandage wrapped around the two arms of the man was not as thick as yesterday. So that Xiao Xiangqing's two hands had a more free-moving power.

Xiao Mingyui replied to his sister's helping hand, the man was actually guarding her every step of the way.

"Hm? Since when has Jiejie's leg improved so much like this?" xiao Xiangqing asked in astonishment.

Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly. "You don't need to know."

Xiao Xiangqing rolled his eyeballs lazily, he did not ask anything more until arriving at the location where the Xiao Wangfu troops and the others were gathered.

The entire person who was there quickly bowed towards Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Mingyui simultaneously, except for Xiao Jiwang who remained seated upright on his horse while staring flatly at Xiao Mingyui.

Xiao Mingyui returned Xiao Jiwang's gaze, then shifted her gaze towards Yui and Fang Tianyao. Xiao Mingyui's lips smiled again. "Servant Yui, I would like to thank you very much for helping me and Xiao Wangfu's army."

Yui smiled back, then bowed briefly and then stood up straight again to stare at Xiao Mingyui and Xiao Xiangqing. "You don't have to say thank you, your majesty. It is an obligation for me to protect you and Xiao Wangfu. Although my title and status were revoked, it does not mean that my kstarian soul and sense of great devotion to Xiao Wangfu had disappeared because of the late Xiao Wangfei. I have a life-and-death covenant to both honorable deceased."

Xiao Mingyui nodded thinly, then immediately turned around and climbed into the horse carriage assisted by Xiao Xiangqing.

Before the troops of Xiao Wangfu and the others departed, Baili Ruyi and Gu Sinjie, the couple descended back from the horses to bid farewell to Yui and Fang Tianyao.

Baili Ruyi hugged Yui tightly, secretly the two eyes of the no longer young lady were letting out tears.

"I beg you, please at least send my brother a letter to Gu Fu and tell him the news of you two. For a dozen years I and the late Xiao Wangfei have missed you so much. One day before his death, Xiao Wangfei asked me to convey his mandate that you return to the Capital City to help the Princess and the Prince defend Xiao Wangfu."

Yui loosened their arms, with the two corners of the eyebrows intertwined, Yui asked, "If my husband and I come back, then the conflict could just-"

"No. It is precisely this time that Xiao Wangfu is in need of our strength to be together again. After the Fang family's change of grand master happened, the Fang family became quite different. They bit Xiao Wangfu and made enmity with the Crown Prince. Yui, come back for Xiao Wangfu and last hope Xiao Wangfei has for you." Baili Ruyi shed tears as she said this.

Gu Sinjie who saw his wife crying couldn't help but embrace the woman's shoulder and caress her gently.

Gu Sinjie, even though the man was getting older, his charisma never went away. The man smiled faintly towards Yui and Fang Tianyao. "What my wife says is true, return to the Capital. If you are reluctant to return for fear of causing conflict, but in fact now without you back even a big conflict has occurred. Xiao Wangfu needs us to reunite."

Yui gently wiped her tears, then turned her head to look at Fang Tianyao. Fang Tianyao took a deep breath, then his hand joined in gently embracing his wife's shoulder just like Gu Sinjie had done to Baili Ruyi.

Gu Sinjie and Baili Ruyi smiled happily, then Baili Ruyi said, "Make sure you are willing, then Gu Fu will protect your journey back to the Capital City personally."

Fang Tianyao smiled back. "Thank you very much, Mr. Gu."

After two to three farewell sentences, Gu Sinjie and Baili Ruyi went back on their horses. On the trip this time there was only one horse carriage because of Xiao Mingyui's condition which was still less convincing if the woman had to be reckless to ride a horse for a long time to the Capital City.

The only one left there was Chen Qi, the man had to take care of some things that Xiao Jiwang ordered. All the people who became victims of the landslide of Mount Lang Tao exclaimed loudly to bring their return. The names of Xiao Jiwang, Xiao Xiangqing, and Xiao Mingyui became good because of their arrival to this place. Perhaps, some individuals who intend to drop or even kill them will bite their fingers because their plans and estimates are wrong. Xiao Jiwang couldn't help but smile when he imagined the faces of the official bastards who usually always disturbed the peace of his life. The man came back confident.

As for Xiao Xiangqing, the man unceasingly glanced towards the horse carriage to make sure his sister's condition was fine. After the mission he had done with the Crown Prince was successful, it was likely that the awarding of the title 'Xiao Wangye' to him would become even faster. His success in accompanying the Crown Prince will also build on the response from the elements that Xiao Wangfu and the Crown Prince's relationship will be very close. Moreover, his sister's marriage with the Crown Prince will progressively run smoothly.

Currently there were only positive responses attached to them, not a single negative response followed from behind. Their journey has led to great success!

Meanwhile in the Eastern Imperial Capital, it was precisely Fang Fu, who became the main residence of the Fang family's ruler.

Fang Laoang was painting someone on paper using a brush and black ink. The man wore blue white clothes, his long hair was dyed and his blue eyes looked very beautiful.

"Sir, who is the woman you're drawing?" asked Ciyue, the male servant who works at his residence. Ciyue was a servant who had been friends with him since childhood.

Fang Laowang glanced at Ciyue, then smiled. "You don't need to know, for sure this woman has a unique charisma. His gaze, movement, and the way he spoke could really easily captivate a person's heart."

Ciyue widened her eyes when she heard Fang Laowang's reply. "Master! Are you in love??"

Fang Laowang shrugged both of his shoulders indifferently. "Okay, but it can't seem to be said to be in love. I ... might just admire her."

"really? But from your painting, it seems ... This gunniang is so pretty?" asked Ciyue who was paying more attention to the details of the beautiful woman painting her master made.

Fang Laowang chuckled. "She's really pretty, Ciyue. Unfortunately, he was not very friendly. He's a little hard to approach because it's too cold."

"Should I tell the great master about this Gunniang? Who knows the great lord can help you to-"

"No! Don't you ever dare tell me, Ciyue. I don't want you to know, because I want to take care of it without your help. Since childhood I was bored because my father always interfered in all my problems" said Fang Laowang, he was not so happy about it.

Ciyue scratched her non-itchy head, while Fang Laowang who had just finished his painting immediately put his brush back on as he said, "I heard he is the son of the late Huangtaihou Fang's nephew. Doesn't that mean she still has a little connection to Fang's family since her grandmother is part of Fang's family?"

Ciyue frowned confusedly, as she did not know who the identity of the woman her master spoke of was. He just kept quiet and became a good listener.

Fang Laowang stood up, then hung the painting on the wall of his study room. "But ... because it is different and separated by a generation far enough away, can't I still marry her? Even royal families who are in contact and have the same clan are allowed to marry, why am I not?" Both of Fang Laowang's eyes stared intensely at his painting.

Xiao Mingyui, he will find out more about that woman.
