"Shenzhou is still the best! There are candied hawthorn skewers to eat again. Do you want some?" Cang Xiaoxuan held ten freshly bought skewers of candied hawthorn and offered them to Kaguya and the others.
She had not come across anyone selling candied hawthorn skewers in Eastern Island.
"Yes."
Kaguya immediately took them.
The group strolled through the streets like this as they made their way toward their home in Yangzhou City.
However, when Fu Hua and the others arrived at the residence they had bought in Yangzhou City, they discovered that it had been completely reduced to ruins.
"Immortal Mother, are you sure this is the place?"
Kaguya looked at the ruins before her, somewhat puzzled.
"It is indeed this place, but it seems... a battle took place here." Fu Hua's expression darkened as she looked at the traces of fighting around them.
She hoped her two disciples were all right. Otherwise...
"Then..."
Just as Kaguya was about to say something else, a delighted voice suddenly came from beside them.
"Master!"
They turned around and saw a beautiful blue-haired, blue-eyed girl looking at Fu Hua with joy written all over her face.
"Qing'e..."
The woman before her was Wu Qing'e, whom she had not seen for several months.
Seeing that Wu Qing'e was unharmed, Fu Hua finally felt at ease.
It did not matter if the house was gone. She was not short on money. As long as everyone was safe, that was enough.
"Master, you're finally back!"
Wu Qing'e hurried to Fu Hua's side. Unable to hold herself back, she threw herself into Fu Hua's arms. After hesitating for a moment, Fu Hua still opened her arms and embraced her disciple.
"..."
Fujiwara no Mokou and Kaguya watched the scene, both feeling slightly displeased.
"Where is Meiling?
