Unconscious

Several black Kazari Family vehicles sped down the coastal highway.

Inside one of them, Cao Yuan sat in the back seat with his sword in his arms, looking at the shimmering sea outside the window with anticipation in his eyes.

After being stuck in this godforsaken place for so long, he had finally found Lin Qiye and the others. Before long, they would be reunited after so much time... Perhaps this was the happiest Cao Yuan had been in the past two years.

Beside him, Yurina wore a black cherry blossom kimono, her little head hanging low as she looked thoroughly dejected.

Cao Yuan glanced back at her. After thinking for a moment, he still voiced his confusion. "By the way, if you were just seeing me off to Hokkaido, there was no need for the young head of the Kazari Family to make the trip personally, was there?"

"Brother Qiye is leaving, so of course I had to come see him off," Yurina said matter-of-factly. "If I didn't come this time, I might never see him again..."

Cao Yuan pondered for a moment. "You can come back to Great Xia with us."

Yurina froze, seemingly tempted, but ultimately shook her head. "Dad and my little brother are still here. I can't go back with you..."

Seeing this, Cao Yuan nodded and did not try to persuade her further.

Just then, a pleasant cellphone ringtone rang out.

Yurina took out her phone. When she saw the number, her eyes brightened slightly, and she immediately answered it.

"Brother Qiye, we're already on our way."

"..."

Lin Qiye said something from the other end of the line. Yurina nodded and handed the phone to Cao Yuan. "Brother Qiye says he needs to tell you something."

Cao Yuan took the phone in confusion.
