The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Mu San and several secret guards were temporarily placed in a cave at the foot of the mountain. They enjoyed soft, sweet meals and drank spiritual spring water, and finally recovered some strength!

There was still an hour before dawn, so Fu Yunxi let them rest for a while.

"Master, I have a request, but I wonder if I can express it."

At this moment, Mu Da suddenly knelt down towards Mu Yibai who was standing at the entrance of the cave. There was something that had been on his mind for a long time. He knew very well that his master and his wife were kind people, so he boldly sought a way out for Mu San and the others.

"I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I won't abandon them. Xier will treat them, and the shop at home is also in need of manpower."

Mu Yibai understood Mu Da's thoughts without waiting for him to speak. When he saw Mu San and the others, he was worried, but he would never abandon his loyal secret guards, just as they fought for him until the last moment in his previous life.

What's more, Xier said that they just had damaged meridians and weak bodies, and they would be able to recover in time. By then, their kung fu would still be there and they would not feel inferior.

"Mu Da thanks the master and the lady on their behalf!"

After hearing what Mu Yibai said, Mu Da couldn't hold back his tears any longer. This was the first time he burst into tears after becoming a secret guard.

The master has changed and become more worldly-wise. He likes the current Mu family. They, the secret guards, can accompany the master through fire and water and risk their lives, and can also do some trivial things for the master. In short, their lives belong to Mu Yibai, and they will never betray him in this life.

In the end, Mu San and his companions only slept for an hour. They did not want to drag everyone down and were more anxious to see General Mu and Major General Mu who were safe and sound.

Therefore, everyone set off after daybreak. This time they took a comfortable carriage and traveled slowly for two days before reaching their destination.

……

"Grandpa, we're back!"

Before the boat docked, Fu Yunxi excitedly waved to her grandfather, who had been waiting on the shore early.

"Xiaoer, slow down. Are you injured this time?"

Lord Zuo reached out and helped Fu Yunxi ashore, looking at her with concern.

"We have returned with a great victory! No one was injured! But Mu San and the others are quite weak and need to recuperate for a few days."

Fu Yunxi had an indescribable sense of happiness in her heart at this moment. The Luo family and the others would give her family-like warmth, but the warmth in the world is not the same, and perhaps it was because her mood had changed.

In short, she has her family now and has no regrets in her life.

Thanks to my grandfather and uncle’s warm hospitality, my father and eldest brother’s complexion has obviously improved a lot.

Mu Yibai protected Fu Yunxi to the shore and looked at Mu Aiguo and the other two. In just a few days, they had gained weight, their faces became rosy, and they had grown some flesh. They were no longer as thin as before. This was obviously the result of the careful care of Baili Qingkong and others.

"Yibai, you don't need to be polite with us. If you like this place, you can stay for a while."

Baili Qingkong and Mu Aiguo are of similar age and have many common topics. In addition, Fu Yunxi left behind many martial arts techniques before she left. Baili Qingkong discusses them with General Mu Aiguo in his spare time. He hopes to strengthen the Baili family so that they will have enough power to protect the people.

"We really had so much fun that we forgot to leave!"

Mu Aiguo responded to Baili Qingkong with a smile. He didn't expect that at his age, he could still meet such a close friend who he could talk to, and who was not only his lifesaver's elder brother, but also his relative. He would definitely have more interactions with him in the future.

"Grandfather and uncles, why don't you come with us to the northern frontier to experience the local customs and practices there!"

Mu Yibai extended an invitation to Baili Qingkong and others. Although the journey was long and required a long journey, riding in a comfortable carriage could also reduce the fatigue of the journey.

"I will go there when I have the chance in the future! Zuojiang needs help right now, so I won't go with you this time."

Baili Qingkong declined. The many methods left by Fu Yunxi to improve people's livelihood had not yet been fully implemented. Although the grain seeds had been planted, many other matters required a lot of energy. The Baili family had a heavy responsibility and it was difficult for them to leave southern Xinjiang easily for the time being.

"Okay, Grandfather and uncles, thank you for your hard work. We will come back after Lianjiang County is settled!"

Fu Yunxi knew that the matters she left behind would be difficult to deal with for the time being, but these would all benefit the people of southern Xinjiang, and she firmly believed that her efforts would eventually pay off.

"We can use pigeons to deliver messages on weekdays. Once I train the pigeons, communication will be very convenient."

Mu Yibai had tamed many birds on the battlefield, even the most difficult to tame kestrel. Now it was not difficult to train a few homing pigeons.

"Yes, we can still keep in touch from time to time. Now that Great Zhao and Southern Xinjiang coexist peacefully, we will eventually be reunited."

Fu Yunxi will definitely come back often to visit, this is her home in this world.

……

That night, Fu Yunxi and Zuo Jiangzhu came to the secret room behind the ancestral hall again. "Grandfather, Heavenly Master, I want to ask if the souls of the saints of the past generations in Southern Xinjiang can return to their original world after the soul-calling ceremony?"

Fu Yunxi didn’t know whether her situation was the same as that of the previous generations of saints, but she still wanted to know whether it was possible for her and Zi Yan to go back in this life.

"Xier, why are you suddenly curious about this?"

Lord Zuo was puzzled, but Tianshi remained calm after hearing what he said, with a look of indifference in his eyes.

Fu Yunxi fell into deep thought. She murmured to herself, "When a saint travels to another world, she will inevitably experience a different life. But if her soul returns to her body, what will happen to her previous experiences in other worlds? Don't they have family members to worry about in the other world?" Her heart was full of doubts, but she couldn't find the answers.

Fu Yunxi knew nothing about the saint's previous life experiences, but she herself missed her parents and relatives in modern times very much.

During this period of time, the once familiar life seems to have become distant and unreal, as if it were a lifetime ago.

However, the family love and friendship she once had were deeply engraved in her heart and are hard to forget.

“Grandfather doesn’t know about this either. The Saint has never mentioned this to anyone else.” Lord Zuo Jiang said helplessly. He really knew very little about the Saint. The Saint had just appeared in the Baili family unexpectedly.

Fu Yunxi turned her gaze to the calm and composed Heavenly Master with great expectation and asked, "Do you know, Heavenly Master? Your family should have the closest relationship with the Saint Girl."

Her intuition told her that the Taoist priest must know some unknown secret.

The Heavenly Master bowed slightly and answered respectfully, "Our family has served the Saint for generations, but I have never heard of the soul leaving the body again after returning to its place. However, the Saint has solemnly reminded us many times that this ring must be handed over intact to the next generation of Saints. Perhaps the answer you are looking for is on this ring."

The respectful attitude of the Heavenly Master made Fu Yunxi unable to find any flaws, but her heart was still full of doubts. What was the identity of this Heavenly Master? Was it really just a simple matter of holding a soul-calling ceremony in conjunction with the Baili Family? Fu Yunxi felt that things were not that simple.

At this moment, Fu Yunxi focused all her attention on the ring. She couldn't help but look at it carefully, trying to find out what was special about the ring and uncover the secret hidden behind it that connected her past and present lives.
