Chapter 139 - I Will, Master

Xing Jiuan had returned this time mainly to visit Xing Xiaolang. After staying here for two days, Mu Qing had received a very difficult task and had to return. Only then did they return together.

Before leaving, Master asked Xing Jiuan to follow him so he could say a few words.

Xing Jiuan followed her master. Xing Xiaolang was still here and couldn't help but follow them.

Since Master did not stop Xing Xiaolang, it trailed after them.

"Master?" Xing Jiuan asked curiously when her master did not speak after they had stopped.

"Jiuan, listen…" Master turned around, his voice a little stern.

Xing Jiuan's expression turned serious when she saw her master's expression.

"I've calculated that you will be hit with a great calamity in the next two months…"

Xing Jiuan recalled her previous life almost immediately.

The moment she died.

But that was when she was twenty-one…

Had it been brought forward in this life?

"In this aspect, I didn't learn as well as my junior brother. But I have no idea where he has been these past few years. I need to find him to learn more.

"Jiuan, you must remember my words. You are not to go out alone for the next two months. You are not to go near the southern part of the capital. Do you understand?"

"Master, is this about my fate? It will turn out the way it should…" Xing Jiuan lowered her eyes and smiled when she met Xing Xiaolang's worried eyes.

"I can't win against it or fight it…"

"Who said so?" Master interrupted her sternly.

"Your destiny is extremely precious. You are destined to a wealthy and happy life. Master will protect you well. Do you trust me?"

"Of course, Master."

"Good. Remember what I said. In the next two months, you are not allowed to go out alone or go near the southern part of the capital. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to. Do you understand?"

"Okay."

Xing Jiuan paused and asked further, "Will it be an accident that happens only to me, or…"

As a master, he naturally knew what Xing Jiuan was thinking.

She was wondering if anyone else would be in danger because of her…

Her master hesitated for a while before saying, "It's only you."

Xing Jiuan smiled. "I understand, Master."

"I didn't tell your senior brothers about this. I know that you probably still wish to handle your own matters."

"Thank you, Master."

Master caressed Xing Jiuan's head. "I have no other wishes for you. I only want you to live a peaceful and happy life."

"I will, Master."

The two of them were silent for a while. Xing Xiaolang whimpered twice before Master spoke again.

"Alright, I won't say anything else. Take care of yourself. If you have time, come back and visit."

"Alright."

The two of them and the wolf walked out together. Xing Jiuan's acting skills had probably improved recently as no one could tell that there was something wrong with her.

Or maybe she really wasn't that bothered.

It was not as if she had never struggled in a life-and-death situation before. Not to mention, her master had even told her all these during the talk this time.

She would take good care of herself.

She promised her master that she would live a peaceful and happy life this time.

When they left, Xing Xiaolang whined for a long time but did not stop them from leaving. It even stood beside their master and watched as Xing Jiuan and the rest left.

"Xing Xiaolang, I'll be back soon."

"Ruff."

The human and the wolf made a promise just like that.

One promised, and the other answered. They would meet again soon, as promised.

Xing Xiaolang did not mind how long and tiring it would be to run over from the other side of the mountain.
