The procession for their return was anything but humble. The road of Capital City was showered with flowers as the citizens cheered for the victory of their mission. Ouyang Xueqing's name was gaining fame rapidly thanks to her heroic act of sacrificing herself to save the citizens of Ghost Town.
Wang Ze had waited for them the whole day, along with Ouyang Xueqing's mother, Xia Wei and her grandfather, Ouyang Feiyang.
As soon as she alighted, she was greeted by her mother's hug. "Welcome back, dear. You did great!"
Warmth spread through her chest as she embraced her back. "I'm home, mother."
She greeted her grandfather and Imperial Father each with a hug before they proceeded toward the main hall with Ren Yupei and An Zhengnan trudging behind her back as usual. Ling Xiaochen had been dropped off at her residence earlier because Uncle Ling had almost burned his beard out of worries for his daughter.
