"I know! I know everything!" She hugged her mother tightly with reddened eyes, choking with emotion. "Mother, don't worry. I will come back safe and sound. Please trust me!"
Mrs. Dong handed the white jade pendant, the token of command for the Dong family's dead warriors, to Bai Qingyan. "This is the symbol commanding the dead warriors of the Dong family."
She accepted it and said softly, "If I weren't in heavy mourning, I would have gone to see my grandmother and uncle personally to thank them."
"Your grandmother and uncle don't mind these things! You should stay home to pack properly. Be as thorough as possible! Your second aunt just sent over a heart protector made for you before the New Year and asked me to give it to you to take to the Southern Front! I checked it, and the material is quite solid. It's a good item! Take it with you!" Mrs. Dong tucked a strand of hair behind her daughter's ear.
