Two days later.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After a simple two-day wait, Dugu Bo's affairs had been successfully dealt with.
Jiang Mu had also taken Tang Wutong on a proper date in Heaven Dou City.
They had shopped together, eaten and drunk their fill, and laughed and played. At last, they had reined in their playful spirits and returned to the Medicine Garden.
After one final check of their arrangements, they were ready to leave.
But leaving meant parting. He had to see Ah Yin once more and give her his final reminders.
Ah Yin stood beside a thick clump of grass, holding a blade of Blue Silver Grass. As she looked at Jiang Mu, who had returned that evening and finished discussing matters with her, a trace of reluctance stirred in her heart.
"Do you really have to go?"
Ah Yin still could not quite bear to let him leave.
"When will you come back?"
She had known about his departure for a long time. She had also kept trying to convince herself that if he would not tell her where he was going, it meant he did not consider her a friend.
Don't treasure someone who doesn't value you.
But the heart's decisions were not so easily controlled.
Otherwise, why would there be so many thunderstorms beneath the heavens?
After all, in all the time she had lived since taking human form, Jiang Mu was the only person who had left a trace and an impression on her life.
Despite all her coaxing and pestering, she still had not managed to get him to tell her where he was going.
That proved they still were not close.
If they were not close now, they could become close later.
Ah Yin cheered herself on inwardly.
