Head to the Northern Frontier or return to the Imperial Capital.
A classic choice of two distinct paths.
Xu Yuan did not rush to make a decision, carefully weighing the matter in his heart, while Lou Ji sat opposite him, quietly awaiting his response.
After a long while,
Xu Yuan leaned back in his chair and smiled, saying,
"I think I'll go back to the Imperial Capital."
Lou Ji did not express her opinion, but reminded him,
"This question was asked by your father, you know."
"I know."
Lou Ji asking him so directly was, in all likelihood, under the instructions of that old man in the Imperial Capital.
As a result, Xu Yuan's expression revealed a sense of helplessness under Lou Ji's gaze.
Lou Ji gently tapped her fair cheek with her finger, her eyes somewhat uninterested,
"Hmm... I thought you would choose to go to the Northern Frontier with your sister."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan smiled and asked,
"Sister, what can I do at the Northern Frontier right now?"
