NOVPUBAfter Gu Zhi left, Wu Yue furtively watched her retreating figure and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Who would’ve thought I’d run into you here.”
“You’re really something, managing to fool all those royal descendants.”
Shen Roujia gave an awkward smile, not minding Wu Yue’s bluntness.
Thinking of this, Shen Roujia sighed, “What about you? How did you end up here?”
Just as Shen Roujia finished speaking, Yong Gui said, “We’re here to protect you, by the order of the Martial Alliance.”
Shen Roujia paused slightly, and at that moment, Wei Rui and Liu Ruyi slowly walked out.
“You must be the people sent by the Martial Alliance.”
As soon as Wei Rui said this, Yong Gui stepped forward and replied, “That’s correct.”
Wei Rui, holding Liu Ruyi’s hand, said, “Jiaojiao, we can only escort you this far. Ruyi is pregnant, and if we continue on, it could be risky. We’ll stop here, and once you reach Yancheng, you’ll meet the Alliance Leader.”
Shen Roujia had no idea that Liu Ruyi was pregnant.
She widened her eyes, delighted as she said, “So I’m going to be this child’s aunt! Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I could’ve taken care of it myself.” 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Wei Rui shook his head, a bit embarrassed, “Yes, yes, you’re the only aunt. We’ll stop here, and the rest of the journey will be with these two.”
Shen Roujia looked at Yong Gui and A’Yue and smiled, “Don’t worry.”
Wei Rui had already begun packing up because Liu Ruyi’s condition was quite severe. They needed to find a quiet courtyard to let her rest and nurture the pregnancy, which was part of the Martial Alliance’s promised benefits.
All the heroes could choose when to retire to the mountains and forests.
