After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Dugu Bo bid farewell to Su Yu and Chi Yan and headed straight back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest.
Su Yu took Chi Yan with him to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect-Xue Na was still waiting for him there.
With his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Su Yu could fly and had no need for a carriage. The two reached the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's mountain gate in just half a day.
On the steps at the mountain gate, Ning Rongrong and Xue Na sat side by side.
Ning Rongrong swung her legs, a hint of anxiety in her voice:
"Little Sister Xue Na, it's already been four days. When do you think our dear Husband-Brother will come back?"
Xue Na rested her elbows on her knees and propped her chin in her little hands, her voice muffled and a little aggrieved:
"I don't know... Big Brother didn't say how long he'd be gone when he left, but he did say he'd come back as soon as possible. It should be soon."
Just as she finished speaking, a breeze swept past, swirling up bits of flowers and grass beside the road and blocking their view.
When the wind died and the debris settled, a familiar figure was already standing silently before them.
"Rongrong, little Xue Na, I'm back."
Su Yu looked at the two on the steps with a gentle smile. His gaze swept over their slightly anxious faces, and he couldn't help asking.
"Have you been waiting here long?"
Ning Rongrong froze for a moment, then jumped up in delighted surprise and threw her arms around Su Yu's arm:
"Husband-Brother! You're finally back! We've been sitting here waiting since this morning!"
