On the morning three days later, Chen Ping'an prepared to leave Mountain Cliff Academy again.
Li Baoping recently noticed Li Huai and Pei Qian secretly meeting up with each other all the time, and even her junior uncle would disappear without a trace from time to time. This caused her to feel a little dejected.
Today, Li Baoping arrived at Cui Dongshan's courtyard very early in the morning, wanting to bid farewell to her junior uncle.
Pei Qian hadn't slept in her dorm yesterday either, but she had come over to borrow the saber, Auspicious Talisman, as well as the small silver gourd.
After arriving at the courtyard, Li Baoping was surprised to discover that it was completely empty.
Perhaps her junior uncle had left in secret again?
Li Baoping turned around and was just about to sprint to the foot of the mountain.
However, she noticed Cui Dongshan yawning and walking over from the small path in the distance. Li Baoping jumped around on the spot, ready to shoot off like an arrow at any given moment. "Where's Junior Uncle? Did he leave a long time ago?" she asked in a hurried voice.
"He left ages ago. In fact, he left at midnight yesterday. You weren't aware?" Cui Dongshan asked with a baffled expression.
Li Baoping stopped jumping around and scrunched up her face which was mostly still round. Only her chin was starting to become sharper and more defined.
Cui Dongshan sighed in grief as he looked at the young girl who was about to burst into tears, and he hurriedly consoled, "Don't overthink it. Master was definitely afraid to see this expression of yours, and that's why he chose to leave early just like last time. Your junior uncle clearly changed into new clothes and new boots already, yet he still decided against entering the academy in the end. I was the only one accompanying Master back then, and he would look back three times with each step that he took."
Li Baoping sniffled as she listened to this.
"How about I accompany you to the lake so you can take some time to relax? We can also chat about Master while we're there," Cui Dongshan suggested in an uncertain voice.
Li Baoping thought about this for a moment before nodding in response.
