“Mom, please stop crying . Didn't we talk about this already? I'm returning to my sect to cultivate, so I won't be in any danger . It's just… I'll be gone for a while . ” Qiao Mu grasped Wei Ziqin's hand and comforted her, “Mom, don't worry . I'll take good care of myself . I guarantee that I'll return chubby and whole!”
Wei Ziqin was between laughter and tears as she looked at her daughter and sighed .
Their daughter had previously brought this up with her and her husband, but she had thought that her daughter would at least attend Xiao Sen's one-month feast before leaving . She did not think her daughter would leave so soon .
Their separation was imminent, so she naturally found it hard to accept .
Qiao Mu looked look at her sound asleep brother laying in his swaddle and softly smiled .
“Qiaoqiao, allow your dad to escort you part of the way tomorrow . ”

“Mom . ” Qiao Mu swung Wei Ziqin's sleeves . “Dad doesn't need to escort me! Have you forgotten that I have the great mystic cultivator, Ao Ye by my side?!”
Qiao Zhongbang regained his status as a mystic cultivator two months ago, and his cultivation also advanced a level after he ate the peach, so he was now a level-six mystic cultivator .
With her dad, a level-six mystic cultivator, holding down the fort at home, Qiao Mu felt more at ease about leaving .
“Mom, do you have enough food?”
“You just like to fret needlessly, child . Mom already told you we have enough . You gave us 30 talismans filled with food, and the remaining provisions in our kitchen will sustain us for more than half a year . Also, didn't the City Lord's Estate send us a cart of grains and beans last time? The city lord is truly too polite . He insisted that it was the ration for Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo didn't eat that many meals here in reality . Yet, he gave us so much, and we can't even return it . ”
“Do you have enough storage talismans?”
“There's enough, enough . We've stored everything that the City Lord's Estate gave us inside of them and still have empty talismans . Don't worry . Moreover, your dad and second uncle will occasionally accept a few minor missions, so our family will definitely improve even more . ”
“Mom . ” Qiao Mu buried her head into her mother's arms .
Wei Ziqin caressed her daughter's long hair with a smile . “Good child, you must remember Mom's words when you're outside on your own . You must be very, very careful when you run into trouble . ”
“The whole family is waiting for you to return, alright?”
She seemed to have exchanged parting words for a whole night and reluctantly parted with her parents, Second Uncle, Brother Qiao Hu, Xiao Lin'er, and Shaoyao one by one .
The next morning, when the first glimmer of light crept onto the horizon, Qiao Mu silently left and headed for the Ah-Wang Trading Company located in the central district .
When she arrived at the entrance of the Ah-Wang Trading Company, she saw that the whole caravan was ready to go and the leader, a middle-aged man, was looking around .
When he saw her tiny figure, he immediately went to receive her and courteously nodded . “You must be Miss Qiao, right? City Lord Gu already told us the details . We'll be in charge of bringing Miss Qiao safely to the western border of Qiu Kingdom . ”
Qiao Mu looked at the rolls of fabric in the carriages and looked up at the leader . “You must be the Uncle Wang that the city lord mentioned, right? Thank you . ”
“You're too polite, Miss Qiao,” Uncle Wang said with a chuckle . “You'll ride in the first carriage . It's a long journey to the Qiu Kingdom and will take at least 10 days . It might be a bit bumpy part of the way . ”
“Thank you for your trouble . ” Qiao Mu nodded and boarded the first carriage .
This carriage had a bit more space compared to the carriages behind it that were brimming with rolls of fabric, but there was still a lot of fabric piled in the corner .
Qiao Mu sat leaning against the side of the cabin and ignored all of the astonished gazes of the workers following the caravan .
When the carriage driver whipped his rein and the wheels started rolling forward, Qiao Mu could not resist flicking open a corner of the curtains and longingly looking at the direction of Pear Blossom Alley .
She had no idea that this departure would lead to years of separation, and the world would drastically change…
