After the old master's birthday had passed, everyone's purpose for returning was fulfilled, so they each began to get their things in order, preparing to set off back home.
On the morning of the 26th, Zixuan and Jinghan returned to the village with their people, and then Jinghan instructed everyone to pack up everything, ready to head back to Xizhou. Mrs. Qian and the others went back to pack their own belongings, everything that needed to be packed or boxed was properly organized.
As soon as the old master heard that Zixuan was leaving, he called him over, "Zixuan, are you leaving already?"
"Hmm, Grandfather, we've been back for quite some time now, and I'm afraid that quite a few things have piled up back in Xizhou. We need to hurry back, after all, it's too close to the Northern Yuan Dynasty."
"Ah, once you leave, it'll probably be several years before you can return, right? I, I don't even know if I'll be able to see you again." The old master sighed.
