Just as the two were talking, a sound came from the table.
CLACK. Li Huowang immediately propped his head up and looked toward the sound.
He then saw Dogwa tiptoeing out, clutching a food box.
"Senior Brother Li, didn't you bring this back for us to eat?" Dogwa asked cautiously.
Li Huowang lay back down, a wry smile on his face. "Yes... you're the only ones I have left."
If there's anyone in this world I can truly trust, it's probably these fellow apprentices of mine... even if they aren't of much use.
Li Huowang pushed himself up on the bed with both hands, and the dejection on his face vanished.
"Dogwa, put the food box down. Go get Gao Zhijian. We'll eat together. After that, we leave."
"Where are we going?"
"Home!"
「A few days later.」
Li Huowang, Dogwa, Gao Zhijian, and Bai Lingmiao sat in a carriage, swaying left and right as the wheels bumped along the road.
