Progress Grows, Target: Royal Capital!

Dongling City.

Afternoon.

"Young Master!!" Lü Yi pushed open the main gate. The moment she saw Jiang Ning, her eyes lit up.

"Has everything been well at home these past few days?" Jiang Ning stepped forward, asking as he crossed the threshold.

"Everything has been well!" Lü Yi pulled the gate shut without fully closing it, then followed behind Jiang Ning.

"Young Master, has the problem been resolved?" she asked again.

Jiang Ning smiled. "It's resolved! Profound Finger Mountain no longer exists!"

"Young Master is amazing!" Lü Yi exclaimed in astonishment.

"Right, what date is it today?" Jiang Ning asked again.

"Young Master, it's the eleventh!" Lü Yi replied.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded and continued onward.

Following behind Jiang Ning, Lü Yi could not help but ask.

"When are you planning to go to the Royal Capital, Young Master?"

"In a few more days! There's no rush yet!" Jiang Ning said.

A moment later.

After Jiang Ning met with Little Doubao and the others and greeted Liu Wanwan and Jiang Li, he headed toward his own courtyard.

Returning to his courtyard.

He immediately saw Zhong Ling feeding the carp by the lakeside.

Zhong Ling wore a goose-yellow long dress, her hair falling like willow branches brushing softly in the breeze.

"Big Brother Jiang Ning!" She lifted her head, and upon seeing Jiang Ning appear, her eyes immediately brightened.

"Have you been well these past few days?" Jiang Ning flashed over and arrived before her.

"Not very well!" Zhong Ling shook her head, then continued, "When Big Brother Jiang Ning isn't in the courtyard practicing martial arts, it feels so deserted and boring! When I'm home alone, I don't even know what to do!"

"Do you miss your family?" Jiang Ning picked up some fish food from the stone railing
