That same night.
"Do we have to leave so soon, Tiantian?" Ruxue asked, confused, even though she was already carrying her bags and they were about to leave.
"It's not good to get into trouble with a Count, right?" he asked. "We have time to leave before the trouble explodes; when we get to the sect, I'll feel more at ease," he replied.
Mu Tao Lei looked at them from the side. "I mean, it's a long way to the Sect, you know? Why don't you take a carriage?"
"It's okay, Uncle Mu." Xiaotian shook his head. "We'll find a way to get there on time, I still have some money left over from what I earned recently. We'll only hire a carriage when we're in another city."
Mu Tao Lei sighed. "Little Xiaotian..." He pretended to speak, but sighed again and shook his head.
"Forget it."
"Uncle Mu, don't worry. I'll take good care of Ruxue, and we won't break the rules," Xiaotian said with a smile, though he was already walking away.
