It had been nearly half a month since the incident with Huang Yuan. The Nangong Twins had also lived here for half a month, so they knew a lot about the local customs of Great Abbasid Town. They were even more convinced by Madam Jin Ling's cooking skills. Madam Jin Ling did not hide her cooking skills and gave them pointers from time to time, allowing them to benefit a lot from this trip. However, time was like flowing water, and all good things must come to an end.
On this day, Han Xu closed the shop and tidied up. A gentle voice came from outside the door.
"I wonder if Senior Sister Miao Miao is in the shop. Junior Sister Green Spirit wants to see you!”
When Han Xu heard this, he thought that it was his sister's junior sister and quickly took out the bolt to open the door.
"Thank you so much!"
A beautiful woman dressed in green appeared in front of Han Xu. She looked not much older than Han Xu.
"Miss, please sit!" Han Xu quickly led them in and served them tea."Sister, someone is here to see you!"
Sha Miaomiao quickly appeared in the hall with Huang Shi and the Nangong Twins behind her. They seemed to have been together the entire time.
Green Spirit, why are you here?" Sha Miaomiao asked happily when she saw the woman's happy face.
"Senior Sister Miao Miao, I'm here on Master's orders to summon you back!”
"I wonder what Master has to say for you to summon me in such a hurry?”
"Junior Sister doesn't know, but a few days ago, our Sanskrit Dance Hall was harassed by the Demon Dwellers. I think it might be related to this matter!”Green Spirit looked worried.
"Demon Sect! Could it be related to this matter?" Sha Miaomiao thought.
"Alright, I'll go back with you after I say goodbye to mother!”
"Yes, Master told us to do it as soon as possible. Right, Master also asked me to give a letter to Madam Jin Ling.”
With that, Green Spirit handed over a white envelope.
"Sanskrit Edict!" Sha Miaomiao knew that this was her master's secret order at the sight of the seal on the envelope. Only important matters of the sect would use this seal. It seemed that things were not so simple this time. She even wanted to return to the Sanskrit Dance Hall immediately to understand the whole story.
At this moment, Madam Jinling walked out from the back hall with a reluctant look on her face, as if she knew that Sha Miaomiao was about to leave.
"We're leaving again!"
"Yes! Mother, you have to take care."
"Madam, this is the secret order that Master asked me to bring.”Then, Green Spirit handed the white envelope to Lady Golden Bell.
"Yes! The Sanskrit Edict." Madam Jin Ling was shocked at first, but she immediately regained her composure.
"Little brother, you've grown up now. I'll leave mother and Shi Tou in your care.”Sha Miaomiao patted Han Xu's head and warned him meaningfully.
"Sister, don't worry. I can take care of myself. I'm fine now. I'll take good care of mother with Xiao Xu.”Huang Shi saw Sha Miaomiao's worry and quickly expressed his stance.
Sha Miaomiao smiled and bowed to the Nangong Twins. Then she walked out of the door with Green Spirit and disappeared into the night.
The next morning, the Nangong Twins got up to bid farewell to Madam Jinling.
"Madam, I've been bothering Madam recently. It's time for us brothers to leave!”Nangong Qian bowed and said.
"Aren't you going to stay a little longer?"
"No, we haven't returned to Dragon City for so long. Father, Mother, and Master might be starting to worry about us.”
"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer. But you must eat lunch before you leave today. I still have some things to trouble you with.”
"Alright, we'll do as Madam says.”
With that, the Nangong Twins left Madam Golden Bell's room. Madam Jin Ling walked to the dressing table and took out the white envelope from the drawer. In the mirror, there was a kind of meditation in Madam Golden Bell's eyes. She was making a decision, a decision that even she didn't know was right or wrong.
During lunch, the Nangong Twins, Han Xu, and Huang Shi were all gathered at the dining table. Only Madam Jin Ling was busy preparing the dishes. The four of them took a look and saw that they were all dishes from this competition. Madam Jin Ling only took a glance and immediately understood. The dishes she made not only looked similar but also tasted better than theirs. After the Nangong Twins tasted it, admiration appeared on their faces.
"I specially prepared this soul-calming soup for the three of you. You must drink a few more bowls.”With that, Madam Jin Ling came out with a big bowl of soup.
"Big Brother Nangong, are you leaving?”Han Xu said reluctantly.
"Yes, we have also disturbed you for a while. It's time to go back. Master and Father and Mother in Dragon City are looking forward to our return!”Nangong Kun said with a smile.
"Eh, there are two of them. Mother, is there anyone else who wants to leave?" Huang Shi's question confused everyone.
"The other one is Xiaoxu!" Madam Jin Ling glanced at Han Xu and said.
"Me?" Han Xu was suspicious, not knowing what his mother was planning.
"That's right! You're not young anymore. It's not a long-term solution for mother to keep you by her side. I've also taught you all my true teachings. It's time to go out and adventure.”
"It's true! Mother, is what you said true?" Han Xu's face was filled with excitement and disbelief.
"Hmm, do you have the guts?"
"Yes, whose child am I? I definitely won't let Mother down.”Han Xu said confidently.
"Good!" Madam Jinling nodded and turned to Nangong Qian.""This is Xiao Xu's first time going on a long journey. Although he has some martial arts skills, it's naturally useless when he meets an expert. So this time, I would like to trouble the two of you to help me take care of Xiao Xu on the way.”
"Of course, but this time, we are going back to Dragon City first. Why don't we go home and greet him before bringing Xiao Xu around to experience the world?”
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Xu 'er hasn't been to Dragon City yet. This time, I'll bring him along to experience the majesty and spirit of Dragon City.”
"Alright, Mother, I will definitely learn more things. Don't worry.”
"Okay, you guys should eat quickly. Wait for me at the town entrance at noon. I still have something to tell you.”With that, Madam Jin Ling walked into the inner hall and did not eat with everyone. Perhaps it was because he was reluctant to leave, or perhaps it was because he had other important matters to attend to.
At the entrance of Midsummer Town, there were not many people coming and going. There were only four figures standing under a tree. Two of them were tall and handsome young masters, and two of them were slightly shorter than them. The Nangong Twins, Han Xu, and Huang Shi were waiting for Madam Jin Ling.
"Why isn't Mother here yet!" Han Xu's brows were tightly furrowed, and he seemed a little anxious.
"Don't worry, mother said she would definitely come.”Huang Shi said as he looked around.
"Coming, coming." Nangong Kun took advantage of his height and was the first to notice Madam Jinling.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Madam Jinling's expression was calm and unperturbed.
"Mother, why are you only here now?" Han Xu breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw Madam Jin Ling, a smile appeared on his face again.
"What's the hurry? I had something to do, so I was delayed! Here." As she spoke, Madam Jinling handed Han Xu an emerald jade pendant. A faint fluorescent green color seeped out, and it was obvious that this was not an ordinary item.
"Mother, this is?" Han Xu asked in confusion.
"This is a magic treasure I'm giving you for this trip. It's called the Righteous Mirror, and it's from the same sect as my Radiant Shadow Divine Mirror. Although this mirror doesn't have the power of the Bright Shadow Divine Mirror, it's a magic tool that I carried with me during my cultivation. It's been with me for many years. After Master gave me the divine mirror, I didn't use it anymore.”
"Yes, thank you, Mother." Han Xu took the jade pendant with a face full of joy and hung it on his neck.
"And this brocade pouch is another treasure I gave you. You have to remember that you can only open it when you are in a life-and-death situation. You can only save yourself once, so you have to use it carefully.”
Han Xu took the golden thread brocade bag and saw that every needle and thread on it came from his mother's hands. He then looked at his mother's slightly swollen eyes and knew that this was her masterpiece after a night of work. Han Xu carefully put the brocade bag into his pocket and said with red eyes.
"Mother, don't worry. I won't disappoint you. I'll come back in a few months to greet you.”
"No need. You have to activate all the Jinling Treasure Tome before you can return.”
When Han Xu heard that, he was stunned at first but quickly regained his confidence."Yes, mother. I won't let you down.”
"Mm, you guys can go now. Now that the Demon Dwellers are in power, you must be careful on the way.”
"Brother Stone, I'll leave Mother to you. I'll also leave that Bai Ling to you.”
"Xiao Xu, don't worry. When you come back, nothing here will change.”Huang Shi patted Han Xu's shoulder and said.
"Furen, take care!"
With that, the Nangong Twins disappeared into the shadows of the trees at the entrance of the town with Han Xu. At this time, Madam Jinling finally couldn't help but cry.
"Mother, since you can't bear to part with Little Xu, why did you let him go out to adventure?”Huang Shi asked in confusion.
"Because I don't want him to get hurt. Stone, I didn't want you to stay, but you can't walk in Jianghu with your current skills, so I want to keep you by my side to train you. I hope you can survive this.”
"What's so urgent?"
"Let's go home first. I'll tell you slowly.”Madam Jin Ling looked at the entrance of the town where Han Xu had disappeared, wiped her tears, and slowly went back with Huang Shi. On the already sparse street, there was only a red sun hanging in the sky. A warm breeze blew past, leaving no trace behind, disappearing into the warmth of the sun.
"Brother, if we continue walking like this, I'm afraid it will take another six to seven days to reach Dragon City!”Nangong Kun looked at Nangong Qian and said.
"That's right, but the three of us haven't reached the Golden Core stage yet, so we can't fly. Fortunately, the three of us are cultivators, and our bodies are stronger than mortals. If we continue to travel like this, we should be able to reach it in three or four days.”
"But I'm so tired, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with the demon dwellers if I meet them.”Nangong Kun seemed extra cautious after hearing about the incident at the Sanskrit Dance Stage.
