"Tomorrow morning."
The elder said, "Tonight, you all should rest well and get ready."
"Alright."
Gu Sheng and Master Zhang nodded.
As night fell, Stone Village returned to tranquility.
Gu Sheng, Shi Lou, and Er Gou were all preparing for tomorrow's journey.
At this moment, their families were together, feeling a mix of emotions, unsure whether it was joy or worry.
"Er Gou, when you reach the Divine Wood Forest, take care of each other with Shi Lou and Xiao Sheng, understood?"
Er Gou's mother advised somewhat despondently.
"Don't worry, Shi Lou and I know what to do."
Er Gou smiled.
Just then, Shi Lou's mom suddenly spoke up, "By the way, I heard from Master Zhang that Stone Village might rely on you in the future, train well, don't bring shame to our Stone Village."
"Understood, yeah..."
Shi Lou sighed, seemingly a little impatient.
That night, the two pairs of mother and child talked at length until late at night.
The next morning, at the break of dawn.
