Chapter 278 - 270: Reluctance
"It’s just a shame you two won’t get any sleep again tonight." Xia Yuan already knew they wouldn’t be home tonight, and even though they hadn’t specified where they were going, she could make an educated guess.
"Mom, don’t worry about it," Lu Yun said with a smile.
In fact, it didn’t take all night to watch over someone having their first medicinal bath, at most a few hours. For the rest of the time, she figured she could lie down and sleep a bit. But lying down on someone else’s turf made her uncomfortable, so she’d rather sit and cultivate her spiritual power, which felt much better.
"Alright, I won’t ask about your affairs. Have you set a time for when you’ll return to Yushu Village?" Xia Yuan directed the first part of the sentence to Lu Yun and the latter part to Shitou.
"We haven’t set a specific time yet, but I estimate it will be in a month. By then, Xiaoyun and I will be about ready to depart for the military," Shitou estimated the time and answered.
"Why is there only a month needed? That’s so quick," Xia Yuan was surprised, "And will Xiaoyun going along right from the start not be too impactful?"
"We won’t be using new barracks for the time being... Xiaoyun going won’t be an exception, and it won’t draw attention," Shitou smiled. A month was indeed very tight, but the higher-ups were rushing things. So, they would start with the basics and slowly supplement and construct later.
"It seems I need to start preparing right away."
Xia Yuan began to calculate what to prepare for the two of them, originally thinking there was more time, but now it seemed there wasn’t enough.
"What else do you need to prepare? My big warehouse has everything," Lu Yun leaned on Xia Yuan and cooed at her.
