At the side gate of the imperial palace.

The trio escorts have long waiting for Xuě Lian and the kids. They were startled when suddenly a void opened near them, it was Xuě Lian's group.

" Master, how did you do that? Did you walked out of the hall using that magic? Can you teach me that? ", Su Ning asked. As a magician, his eyes always glistering when knows about new tricks.

" But I already taught all my tricks to your teacher, just ask him that " Xuě Lian replied while make the kids get inside the carriage safely.

With determined, Su Ning didn't give up, " How's that the same as you teach me, master? You know that old fogey will not teach me so easily! Please, please, please" (*﹏*;)

Xue Lián: " Alright, alright, I'll teach you later. " ヘ( ̄ω ̄ヘ)

After pacified the magic maniac, she gets into the carriage. Li Ming immediately sat on her lap, while Bai Li beside her. Li Hong tried to get Li Ming sat with him as he saw Bai Li's gaze on Li Hong. But, Li Ming didn't want to, he drilled in Xuě Lian's hug.

Li Hong and Bai Li: "..." Σ(ಠ_ಠ) (✿☉。☉)

At outside, Su Qiu and Su Ning ride on their own horse. So, the driver, Su Jie asked, " Master, are we going back to county directly? "

" Nope, we are going to see your brother, Su Ming at Liu Xīng Commerce in west lane of capital first, then we go back to county by using his portal. " Xuě Lian replied while make sure the kids trio comfortable.

Only then, they started their journey to. This make Li Hong felt sorrow with his legs, as he also wants to ride the horse. While Bai Li gazing her eyes with sorrow to Xuě Lian. " Aunty, Li er want sit there! ", she points at Xuě Lian's lap. Heard that, Li Ming gripped Xuě Lian's clothes.

Xuě Lian knew this would happen. ".... Really? I thought you want to ride the horse with brother ". Rather ride in carriage, Bai Li rather like to ride the horse! " Li er want horse! ". Felt relieved, she waved her hand to send Bai Li sat with Su Ning.

" Kyaaa ha ha! Faster! Faster! ", Giggling, Bai Li urged Su Ning ride faster. With a neigh, Su Ning and Bai Li already at in front.

Saw that Li Hong keep his gaze on the horse " Do you also want to ride horse, Hong er? ". Li Hong blushed when he thought Xuě Lian can see through him.

" Hong er, even if your legs are can't move right now; you still can ride the horse with Qiu Ge." Xuě Lian didn't like when youngster discouraged.

" Aunt, can I? ". Heard there's a hope Li Hong's eyes bright again. Then, suddenly his vision changed, " I'm riding a horse! ". Su Qiu amused with his reaction, " Chuckle, yes kid you are riding a horse with me ".

" Now, only we both left, Ming er. Are sure you don't want to ride horse?". Xuě Lian didn't know why Li Ming is clingy to her. Fortunately, this cutie didn't make any fuss so she let him be. Maybe he was trauma with the poisoning that make his mute.

The carriage is not bumpy as it already modified with some mechanism and mana crystal. So, it really comfortable making one falling asleep.

Yawning, " Sigh, Aunt is sleepy Ming er. If you need anything just wake me up okay ". After Li Ming nodded, she closed her eyes while hugged him.

Noticed that Li Hong is dispirited again, Su Qiu slowed down their pace. " What is it kid? "

" Am I really allowed to follow you? To live at Lián County? ". This questions really weighing Li Hong's heart.

It's the same question someone beseeched Su Qiu. " Listen kid, although you have none of Su's blood. You still one of the Lians when the Duchess said so. "

" .... " . Li Hong raise his head only to see Su Qiu's jaw.

Su Qiu continued, " Your Jie and Ning Ge was not born as Su. The one who were taken in usually have dark history. Some was a beggar, a pickpocket, a slave or even a sinner. Their history can't be changed, and they didn't even wish for that terrible times. But kid, you can change your future like them. "

" .... "

Su Qiu sighed, " Thinking back, Su Ning also asked the same thing to me. I told him, ' yes, you can ' "

Li Hong: "!!!! "

" So, now I will tell you the same thing. You can. You can follow us. You can live in Lian County. You can even think that Lian County is your new home. New family. Kid, don't forget your history because that make of what you are. And keep your gaze in front, that's your future. Start appreciate what you have now, as that will help you in future. "

Li Hong 's body was trembling. Then, like a broken dam, he let out of all his heart content with crying.

After 30 minutes riding, the kids get tired. So, they were sent back to carriage. Xuě Lian saw Li Hong 's eyes was puffy and Bai Li was sweating but still excited after a ride. So, she cleaned their face and clothes before put them sleep.

It took 2 hours to arrive at Liu Xīng Commerce. The building was bigger and grandeur than the nearby shop. It has two floor and also a few courtyards at back. Knowing their master came, all the worker in same attires stand in line at the side. Lead by a chubby man, they greet. " Us servants greets to our master. Master, please come in "

Xuě Lian get of the carriage with the trio kids. Faced with many people, makes the kids a bit nervous. " Rise. It's getting hot, let's go in. "
