Chapter 4248: Departure
All the Crown Princess's necessities, from food and clothing to daily provisions, were purchased according to the list.
It was actually quite simple.
Long Ao Hai, a member of the Long clan, simply had to take his group to a specific shop designated by the Crown Princess. Once inside and having stated their purpose, the goods would be directly transported to the pier for them.
It was clear the Crown Princess had made arrangements early, and the shopkeepers had already prepared everything, just waiting for the Long clan to pay and collect!
Long Xiangyun watched the boxes of goods being moved onto the ship, her brows tightly furrowed. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking at Long Hui, who stood rigidly beside her.
"Brother, they still haven't arrived."
A vein on Long Hui's forehead twitched slightly. He forcefully suppressed the barely contained surge of irritation within him.
Deep breath, inhale, deep breath...
He couldn't get angry now. He was still on Shenzhou territory, and he wasn't in charge.
After a phoenix cry.
Everyone saw a Qingniao with long, elegant wings approaching from afar.
The Crown Prince Mo and the little Crown Princess stood hand-in-hand on its back, their robes fluttering in the wind.
Behind them, a two-winged flying eagle followed, with Mu Xingchen standing with his hands behind his back.
When Long Hui's gaze fell on the little Crown Princess, he visibly relaxed.
Regardless, as long as the little Crown Princess was willing to return to Forgetfulness Sea, his mission for this trip would be complete.
No matter how many difficulties they had faced or how much frustration they had endured before, all of it could be disregarded with the Crown Princess's arrival.
Long Hui led his group of Long clan members, bowing respectfully to the pair from a distance.
Long Xiangyun gnashed her teeth, reluctantly following her brother, and also bowed.
She needed to exercise patience now. Once they were on the ship, out of Shenzhou territory, and into the Forgetfulness Sea.
Then, everything wouldn't be for the Crown Princess to decide.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the restless and uneasy emotions within her, and managed a strained, ugly smile.
"Since the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have arrived, let's set sail."
The little Crown Princess glanced in her direction but said nothing.
After descending from the Qingluan with the Crown Prince, hand-in-hand, the little Crown Princess remained silent.
Several calls of "Saintess" came from afar.
Qiao Mu turned her head and saw Feng Heping leading a large group of clan members, including Feng Changqing and Feng Changfei, quickly approaching.
"Saintess, why are you leaving without them?" Chief Elder Feng Heping said with a glum old face. "This is a hundred disciples carefully selected from the Feng clan. Please take them with you to Forgetfulness Sea. They can assist you with various tasks there!"
Long Xiangyun's face turned grim. "No!"
Why was this little Crown Princess so troublesome?
Feng Heping turned to glare at her. "Why not? Do you think our Saintess is like you? How can our Saintess travel without attendants?"
The Feng Changqing brothers looked up at the sky, speechless.
"Alright, it's decided!" Feng Heping muttered to himself, casting a glance at Long Hui, then immediately turned with a radiant smile towards Qiao Mu. "Saintess, it's getting late. Let's depart."
Two thousand disciples of the Feng clan, a grand procession, followed behind Feng Heping, bowing in unison and shouting, "May the Saintess have a safe journey!"
Qiao Mu expressionlessly turned and boarded the ship.
Mo Lian, his handsome face dark, followed his wife.
The large ship set sail, slowly pulling away from the shore.
Qiao Mu stood on the deck, her small face expressionless, watching Feng Heping lead a group of remaining Feng clan members, vigorously waving at her...
