Mao Jun's eyes lit up when she saw it, she stood up and greeted, "Miss Hong Xiu, you're such a rare guest, quickly take your seat."

Hong Xiu smiled and said: "Many thanks, Young Master."

Hua Ruge looked at Mao Jun and joked: "Brother Mao, are you satisfied with this surprise?"

Mao Jun only looked at Hong Xiu, but ignored Hua Ruge after hearing what she said.

Tuoba Yu shook his head and laughed, then nodded at Hong Xiu: "Miss Hong Xiu, it's been a while."

Yan Zixing did not say much and only nodded.

Hong Xiu greeted them one by one and then sat down on the empty seat beside Hua Ruge.

"It's been a long time, Hong Xiu is beautiful again." Hua Ruge did not forget to turn his head towards Mao Jun as he said this, "Right, Brother Mao."

Mao Jun subconsciously nodded, causing everyone to laugh.

"Don't tease me." Hong Xiu continued, "The situation on the continent that you wanted me to talk about, I've already settled it. Do you want me to explain it to you?"

"No rush, we'll talk while we eat." Hua Ruge gestured to invite her in.

The few of them nodded their heads, and the manor brought out the tea set. They made tea at close range and distributed it to everyone.

As Hua Ruge ate the pastries and drank the tea, he felt relaxed and happy as he watched the scenery of the garden that was covered in snow and listened to the discussion of Mao Jun and Hong Xiu trying to get closer to him.

She did not have the leisure to be idle. Soon, she began to chat with everyone, and the topic of conversation quickly changed from small talk to big talk.

"The Great Yu Dynasty had already completely occupied the territory of the Yutang two days ago. Only a few of the scattered forces were able to escape; the war in the eastern part of the continent had basically subsided." Hong Xiu said.

Tuoba Yu nodded his head: "I also saw it in the report. Jun Tianxia is indeed a wise Sovereign King."

"Yeah, I'm afraid no one in this world is his match." Hua Ruge agreed.

Yan Zixing thought for a moment, then said: "If Battle King is willing to succeed the throne, I, Dazhou still has hope of chasing after the whole world."

Mao Jun also looked at Hua Ruge upon hearing this, as if he wanted to get an answer from her.

"He is not interested, and you all know his identity. The emperor of the mortal world is not attractive to him." Hua Ruge said.

To be honest, she didn't want Tuoba Rui to be the emperor either. Otherwise, she would be trapped in the imperial harem and wouldn't be able to leave even once.

Compared to them, the vast world outside was even more so.

The two of them had already thought about it, so they weren't too disappointed this time.

"What a pity." Mao Jun said.

Tuoba Yu also didn't want to think too far into it. He just wanted to choose someone among his brothers that could inherit the throne.

Finished, everyone looked at Hong Xiu.

Hong Xiu opened his mouth and said: "The war of Da Yu against the Cang Lan is also coming to an end. It should end before the end of this month."

"What are the movements of the Da Yu?" Hua Ruge asked again.

"No matter if it's within the limits of the Dong Xia or within the boundaries of the Cang Lan, there are no signs of attacking Dazhou." Hong Xiu replied.

Before this, she had been gathering information about it almost every day, and she knew it best.

"Now that Da Yu has suddenly eaten so many territories, governing it will take a period of time, so it's reasonable for it to not attack." Tuoba Yu said.

Hua Ruge exhaled, "No matter what, the war has finally come to an end."

With so much blood and sacrifice, it was time for some peaceful days.

"That's right, I can also prepare well for this year's Sky Mansion Academy examination." Mao Jun said.

The few of them nodded.

After talking about big things, everyone started to chat again. Mao Jun and Hong Xiu chatted the most.

It was not that Hong Xiu liked to chat, it was because Mao Jun's skill in conversation was not bad, as he kept pestering this girl to no end.

Yan Zixing's face was filled with disgust, looking as if he regretted meeting Mao Jun.

Tuoba Yu, on the other hand, asked Hua Ruge to help him analyze which prince is most suitable for him to inherit the throne.

Hua Ruge did not know much about it, and in the end, not a single person was chosen.

As they chatted, the sky darkened. As the evening wind blew, the winter's chill deepened.

Hua Ruge stood up and said: "Actually, the reason I called everyone here today is because I have something to say. I'm pretty much recovered and have pretty much recovered my strength, so I plan to return to the Academy in two days.

She didn't want to accept this farewell when she left. She felt that it was too sad, so she might as well get together in advance and chat about the mountains.

The joyous atmosphere suddenly became a little gloomy. Mao Jun got up with a bitter smile: "If I had known earlier, I would have drank wine today."

"Drink less wine or not, Brother Mao treasures." Hua Ruge patted his shoulder and said.

Mao Jun nodded his head and said: "I know it's bad for the body. I'll try my best in the future."

"I'm not talking about bad wine. I'm talking about being afraid that if you marry your wife in the future, you would be beaten to death, haha." Hua Ruge laughed and teased.

Mao Jun looked at Hong Xiu, and scratched the back of his head: "If my wife doesn't want to drink, I definitely won't drink."

Hong Xiu tilted his head, pretending as if he did not hear what the man said.

Tuoba Yu also stood up and said, "Ru Ge, take care of yourself along the way. We'll go look for you at the academy later."

"Take care." Yan Zixing also stood up and said.

Hua Ruge said with a carefree smile, "Alright, I'll wait for you all at Sky Mansion Academy in a few months."

"Have a pleasant journey. When you return, my Swallow Spring Pavilion will definitely spread throughout every city on the continent." Hong Xiu said full of vigor.

It was hard to imagine that a girl who had grown up in the Swallow Spring Pavilion was actually such a unsatisfied and ordinary person.

"Alright, I'll wait and see." Hua Ruge replied.

The few of them dispersed one after another, leaving only Hua Ruge behind to look at their backs.

Sending her farewell was a normal occurrence in her life. It was to give up some time to prepare for their next reunion. She was not overly sad, and only hoped that everyone would be alright.

A cold wind blew through the pavilion. She felt rather cold and gently crossed her arms.

Suddenly, he felt his body warming up. He lowered his head to look at a black cloak that draped over her shoulders. Afterwards, she was embraced within his embrace.

Hua Ruge raised his head and saw Tuoba Rui looking at her with a gentle expression.

She smiled faintly and said while leaning against his chest, "If I had known earlier, I would have parted ways with you. I was still a little reluctant."1

"The difference is the normal state of life." Tuoba Rui pressed his chin against her hair and said: "But you don't have to be afraid, I will always accompany you. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, I will always accompany you."

Hua Ruge slowly closed her eyes and said softly, "Me too."

They embraced each other quietly. The setting sun shone a layer of faint yellow light on the two of them, causing Hua Ruge's body to gradually warm up. She raised her head and smiled at him: "It's much better now, let's go back."

Tuoba Rui nodded and hugged her with one arm instead. The two of them walked down the stairs, past the garden path that was covered with snow, and arrived at the quiet long corridor.

Their shadows were drawn together in a long, intimate way, as if no force could separate them.
