Wuren still hadn't returned three days before the start of term.
On the way back from Garbage Street that day, Zhuri asked, "Are you going to Kaladom to find your friend?"
Yu Xunge shook her head. "She didn't send me a mail, nor did she send a griffin to find me; her life doesn't need me to take responsibility for it."
Zhuri was probably quite satisfied with this answer, as evidenced by the fact that on the first day of term, she personally rode a motorcycle to drop Yu Xunge off at the entrance of Moonlight Wetland.
Then the two of them saw Wuren, who had been waiting at the entrance of Moonlight Wetland. The moment she saw Zhuri, Wuren was so scared she turned around and ran.
Zhuri sneered, and raised her voice. "Tell your friend, what did I prepare for her by the goblin's head?"
Yu Xunge thought this was very childish, but she still cooperated and shouted, "A piece of wood for hanging tails!"
This sentence scared Wuren into running a few more steps inside.
Yu Xunge carried her schoolbag and flew off the motorcycle, waving at Zhuri and shouting "Goodbye!" while rushing into the school.
From then on, Wuren would go back every long holiday.
Zhuri didn't actually chop off her tail to hang it on the wall; she even tacitly allowed Wuren to return to her home to stay for a few days during short holidays, because Wuren gave a reason she couldn't let go of those "family members":
"They and I are the last few moonlight foxes in Astralana, and I am the one with the most hope of becoming a powerhouse in a region. I can't just ignore them, this is my responsibility..."
This reason instantly elevated the matter of Wuren going home
