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 Qin’er.
Listening to it as if it were a joke, Gu Qingluan paid no further attention.
Whether it was Gu Jinrong or Gu Jinyue, they wouldn’t 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 hadn’t 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. “Qingluan, make sure to come back often. The next time you return, Salvation Flail will surely have prospered!”
Gu Qingluan raised her lips. “Alright, you do your best.11
“Yeah, 1 will!” Tang Shijun nodded firmly, reluctant to let go.
“We’re leaving now, no need to see us off anymore.”
Gu Qingluan waved her hand, then lifted Yuanxi and mounted her horse.
To expedite their journey, Gu Qingluan didn’t bring too many people. Everyone was dressed simply, and horseback riding was the primary mode of transport.
According to Gu Qingluan’s 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 hadn’t reached the city gate yet when they saw a crowd of people gathered there.
Gu Xiaonan widened his eyes and looked ahead. “Huh, is something happening?”
Gu Qingluan replied, “It seems they are welcoming someone, and it has nothing to do with us. Let’s keep going.”
However, as they approached, the people guarding the city gates suddenly shouted with excitement, “Safe travels, Guardian Princess’”
“Guardian Princess, remember to come back often!”
“May Guardian Princess have a safe journey!’’
“YoungMasters Xiaonan and Yuanxi, you’re the best!”
Their loud voices were deafening.
It surprised Gu Qingluan and her companions.
Afterward, Gu Xiaonan excitedly exclaimed, “Wow, Mother, 1 didn’t know everyone came to see us off!”
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. “Yes.”
“Guardian Princess, these are homemade pastries from my family, something you can’t taste anywhere else. Please have them on your journey.” A young girl with rosy cheeks held up a basket woven with flowers.
“Guardian 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,” said a middle-aged man, holding up a peculiar-looking object.
“And mine…”
“And mine…”
Everyone was incredibly enthusiastic.
Gu Qingluan and her group were surrounded, feeling both touched and amused.
“We appreciate everyone’s kindness, but carrying so many things with us is inconvenient. Please take everything back.”
“But we can escort them to your mansion, so next time you return, you can choose to use them.”
“But my gift is pastries, and they’ll spoil if kept for long.”
Gu Qingluan said, “Thank 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.”
“Guardian Princess, you’re being too humble. To Tianjing City and all the people in our city, you are a Bodhisattva, a guardian deity, worthy of our respect.”
“Yes, 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.”
“We ll follow your instructions. We’ll 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.”
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. “1 never thought that Madam Feng would have such high prestige in Tianjing City.”
“It’s thanks to everyone’s kindness. 1 actually haven’t done much.”
Wei Yuantong shook his head gently. That couldn’t be described as not doing much.
How many people in the world could accomplish so much for a city’s residents in such a short time?
Moreover, those things she did weren’t even her obligation. She wasn’t 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..
