Zhao Ya took the clothes and shoes, noticing the fine stitches and exquisite design, each detail reflecting the care of the person who made them.
Looking at them, Zhao Ya almost envisioned Zui’Er staying up all night sewing under the lamp, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Did she say anything else?" Zhao Ya asked softly.
Wu Bao’Er shook her head, "She only said to take care of yourself outside, nothing more."
Zhao Ya fell silent.
Although she said nothing, as someone who understands Zui’Er the most, Zhao Ya knew she had countless things she wanted to say, but her introverted nature kept her from speaking.
An entire affection could only be poured into these clothes and shoes.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya felt a sharp pang in his heart.
Wu Bao’Er, observing Zhao Ya’s expressions, noticed the subtle changes and was moved.
It seemed that the lord felt deeply for Miss Zui’Er.
Indeed, with her gentle and virtuous temperament, if it were me as a man, I would be very fond too.
Afterward, Wu Bao’Er enthusiastically took out a letter, "This is from Miss Shang Luoluo to you, my lord."
Upon receiving it, Zhao Ya saw that the wax seal on the stationery was still intact and opened the envelope.
Inside, crammed with letters, there were more than a dozen sheets of paper, all filled with writing.
Zhao Ya didn’t know what Shang Luoluo wanted to say, ending up with so much writing.
But now was evidently not a suitable time to read, so he temporarily put it into his pocket.
"You’ve worked hard this time."
"You’re too polite, my lord; this is precisely what I should do." Wu Bao’Er immediately expressed that it wasn’t hard for her, though hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but didn’t dare to.
"What’s the matter?" Zhao Ya asked directly.
"My lord, since you care so much about Zui’Er and Miss Shang, why not let me bring them here?"
In fact, Shang Luoluo had proposed more than once to come along with Wu Bao’Er; although Zui’Er said nothing, her heart likely wished the same.
But Wu Bao’Er didn’t dare bring them because Zhao Ya had clearly instructed her before leaving that this time anything conveyed were messages, and no one should be brought back.
Though a little puzzled, Wu Bao’Er followed strictly but was full of question marks, not understanding why Zhao Ya wanted it this way.
After hearing what Wu Bao’Er said, Zhao Ya sighed.
"You don’t understand; keeping them in Great Yan is the safest option."
Wu Bao’Er listened in bewilderment.
Why say keeping them in Great Yan is safest?
It’s essential to know that now, under Zhao Ya’s leadership, Azure Dragon Temple is prospering, sweeping away previous declines, the power advancing by leaps and bounds.
Though not at its peak yet, it’s much stronger than the previous half-dead state.
Adding on Zhao Ya’s formidable strength.
Wu Bao’Er couldn’t think of anything from Beyond the World that could threaten Azure Dragon Temple.
Zhao Ya didn’t explain but continued asking, "Besides meeting with the two of them, did you accomplish the other tasks I entrusted to you?"
"Of course, I went to visit Hall Master Lu Dingtai as per your instructions and handed over the letter you gave me. Upon reading it, Hall Master Lu was very pleased and even gave me a reward."
"Did my master say anything else besides that?" Zhao Ya asked.
"He merely said to be careful in Beyond the World, as for Yan Capital City, with his guarding, it’s absolutely safe; nothing else was said."
Zhao Ya nodded, knowing with Master Lu Dingtai’s perception, though the letter to him was brief, he must’ve understood its essence.
Thinking about this, Zhao Ya couldn’t help but let out a long breath.
Anyway, at least Zui’Er and the others are safe, which is the best news.
And with Master Lu Dingtai’s guardianship, I believe Yan Capital City wouldn’t encounter any trouble.
Having these assurances, Zhao Ya could devote himself wholeheartedly to dealing with any upcoming changes from Beyond the World.
Zhao Ya put aside these thoughts, glanced at Wu Bao’Er opposite him, and suddenly asked, "How is your training lately? Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Wu Bao’Er’s face lit up upon hearing this.
It was evident that the lord was going to reward her.
So she eagerly said, "The Azure Dragon True Power you taught me, I’ve been diligently practicing, but the issue is, due to being exposed to the Python God Cultivation Technique since childhood, the True Power in my dantian and meridians is all Giant Python True Power."
"I don’t know if it’s incompatibility or something, but every time the Azure Dragon True Power is about to be initiated, the Giant Python True Power causes trouble, making me quite distressed."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhao Ya raised an eyebrow slightly, then said, "Extend your hand."
Wu Bao’Er hastily rolled up her sleeve, revealing a snow-white, jade-like arm.
Zhao Ya didn’t overthink, directly gripping Wu Bao’Er’s meridian gate, channeling a wisp of True Power into her meridians.
Sure enough, Zhao Ya discovered that Wu Bao’Er’s meridians and dantian were flooded with Giant Python True Power, with no trace of Azure Dragon True Power seen at all.
Considering it had been three months since he taught her the cultivation technique for Azure Dragon True Power, it was unusual that she hadn’t even developed the simplest Foundation of True Power.
While Zhao Ya maneuvered the True Power exploring Wu Bao’Er’s meridians,
Wu Bao’Er’s face turned more crimson, feeling like all her strength had been drained.
