Chapter 148 Being Driven Down the Mountain
Luo Chujiu looked at Xiao Beiming and continued to ask:
"So, are your two souls now completely merged, or has one of them been annihilated?"

"No, the other me before was just someone who was stuck in a certain memory and couldn't get out of it. Now he is me, and I am him. We are inseparable. We are the same person."

Upon hearing Xiao Beiming's words, Luo Chujiu nodded, indicating that she understood.

"You've been unconscious for too long this time, which is why I came to find my master. Thankfully, Brother Beiming, you're alright, otherwise I really would have..."

"Shh, Xiao Jiu, don't say anything. I understand. I can understand without you saying a word."

Xiao Beiming raised his hand and covered Luo Chujiu's lips, smiling as he spoke.

Their eyes met, filled with love.

"Brother Beiming, do you remember what your mission is when you went down the mountain? We can complete it together."

Luo Chujiu said excitedly that she couldn't complete her task for a while, but she could help Brother Beiming complete the task, which was also very good.

Xiao Beiming smiled and shook his head. "My mission was completed long ago. I did go down the mountain to avenge the Wen clan, but more importantly, I wanted to quell the war between the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Yelan Kingdom. When the war ended, my mission was complete."

"I see, that's wonderful! Then once I've trained the next Imperial Advisor, we'll all go back to Xuanfeng Mountain to retire!"

"Ah."

Xiao Beiming smiled gently. As long as he could be with Luo Chujiu for a long time, Xiao Beiming felt that it didn't matter where they went.

After the two finished talking, they came out of their master's house.

The grandmaster had been waiting for them for a long time.

Luo Chujiu and Xiao Beiming knelt down and kowtowed to their grandmaster Xuanqing.

"Thank you, Grandmaster, for saving my life."

"Thank you, Grandmaster, for saving Brother Beiming."

"Get up, both of you. This is a tribulation in your lives. It is only natural for your master to help you. Now that Wenqing has awakened, you two should continue to go down the mountain and help Nanzhao."

Wenqing was the name Xiao Beiming used when he became an apprentice at Xuanfeng Mountain.

The first thing Master Xuanqing said was that he wanted to send the two of them down the mountain.

"Grandmaster, what's wrong with you? I just got back, don't you miss me at all? You're just thinking of kicking us both out. Is this how you act as a master?"

Luo Chujiu pouted and looked at her grandmaster with great dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Jiu, you can't speak to your grandmaster like that," Xiao Beiming gently stopped Luo Chujiu. His grandmaster was old, and it was disrespectful to speak to him like that.

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, Grandmaster Xuanqing laughed in anger, "Why should I keep you on Xuanfeng Mountain? To let you burn my beard again? You'd better go down the mountain as soon as possible, so that I won't be annoyed by seeing you."

Upon hearing her master's words, Luo Chujiu felt a rare sense of guilt, and Xiao Beiming also cast a shocked glance at her.

"Xiao Jiu, you're so naughty."

"It's not just being naughty, it's downright rebellious," the grandmaster added, exaggerating the situation.

"So many years have passed, Grandmaster, why are you still so petty about this?"

"I will remember you for the rest of my life."

"."

Luo Chujiu was speechless, feeling a pang of guilt, and didn't know what else to say.

"Alright, alright, then Brother Beiming and I will go down the mountain now, and you can live out your days alone on Xuanfeng Mountain."

"Don't worry, Qingyin is keeping me company on the mountain. Soon, your senior brother will also be returning to Xuanfeng Mountain. I won't be lonely at all."

"you!"

Luo Chujiu's cheeks puffed up in anger at her grandmaster's words, but she didn't know what to say in response.

This was also the first time Xiao Beiming had seen Luo Chujiu so speechless that she was choked up, and he couldn't help but sigh, "There's always someone better."

Finally, Luo Chujiu and Xiao Beiming descended the mountain, bid farewell to Nalan Qingyin, and returned to the capital.

Xiao Jinglin was happy to see that Xiao Beiming had recovered.

"It's good that you're back. I was very worried about you during this time. Seeing you all well is better than anything else."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have fully recovered, and my old ailment has also been cured without treatment. I will be able to serve Nanzhao and Your Majesty better in the future."

Xiao Beiming looked at Xiao Jinglin with a smile and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinglin was genuinely happy for him. The two brothers enjoyed a drink together in the palace, while Luo Chujiu went to the Imperial Preceptor's Hall to take care of her business. She had accumulated a lot of tasks during this period and needed to deal with them one by one.
