"Master!"
Mo Hua and the other two were startled.
Aunt Xue's expression also changed, and she hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhuang..."
Mr. Zhuang shook his head. "I've taught everything I should teach. This is a place of right and wrong. You cannot stay here any longer."
"But..."
Mr. Zhuang's expression was cool, his gaze resolute.
This was the look of a decision already made.
Everyone knew that Mr. Zhuang was unfathomably profound, and had his own judgment in how he did things. They could not interfere at all.
Aunt Xue had no choice. She sighed and said:
"Sir, when should I take them away?"
Mr. Zhuang had expected this long ago. "Tomorrow."
Aunt Xue cupped her hands and acknowledged it.
Mo Hua's eyes were full of reluctance, and he still wanted to say something, but then he saw Mr. Zhuang shake his head and say gently:
"I'm a little tired. I want to rest for a while. You and your Senior Martial Brother and Senior Martial Sister should go pack up. Leave tomorrow."
Mo Hua felt a pang of sadness, but he still nodded sensibly. "Mm, Master."
The three of them returned to their room, all looking rather dispirited.
Bai Zisheng asked in confusion, "Why did Master suddenly make us leave?"
"It wasn't sudden..." Mo Hua looked desolate and shook his head. "Master probably planned this long ago."
The Five Elements Sect was the final stop of this wandering journey.
Bai Zixi also lowered her gaze. A trace of dejection flashed through her peerlessly beautiful eyes. Then she raised her head, looked at Aunt Xue, and asked:
"Aunt Xue, was it Mother who sent you here?"
Aunt Xue was slightly startled.
Bai Zisheng said, "Zixi, Aunt Xue was already acting under Mother's orders to protect us."
Bai Zixi shook her head.
