Chapter 653: Chapter 157: Good Dreams Are the Easiest to Wake From; Since Ancient Times, Joyous Gatherings Lead to Bitter Partings [Ten Thousand Words]

Suddenly, the sound of whistles filled the room.

The Golden Flowers all covered their eyes.

Zheng Yunqi and others started cheering wildly: "Aooo... Aooo..."

The farce wasn’t over yet.

Starlight Master suddenly had a change of expression.

He took out the Communication Jade.

It was a message from Mu Lin Yuan.

"Tomorrow evening, one hundred and twenty-three Marshal Level and fifty Marquis from the Yixin Sect will arrive at the Escort Agency. I will lead the team."

Promptly replied: "Understood."

...

Putting back the Communication Jade, Starlight Master looked at this group full of joy, and let out a long sigh.

Zheng Yunqi, sensing something, asked, "Chief, what’s wrong?"

Starlight Master said wistfully, "The first batch of people from the Yixin Sect to replace you is already on the way. Over a hundred and seventy people; haha. The time to part from us is not far away."

Immediately, everyone around fell silent.

Then a sense of sorrow suddenly arose.

This emotion quickly spread, and outside, people began to ask one after another. Gradually, everyone knew. Then everyone suddenly fell silent.

An inexplicable emotion gradually filled the air.

The eighteen naked pigs continued to howl desperately, but except for the few executing, all the spectators suddenly fell silent.

Suddenly, it felt unusual.

What’s going on?

An inexplicable panic arose in the heart.

Even the naked pigs stopped shouting—without an audience, what’s the point of performing?

I’m here telling jokes, and the people below have red eyes, what the heck is going on?

Zhao Wubai hurriedly lashed a few more times, let the naked pigs down, and rushed back anxiously, "What’s going on? What’s happened?"

The naked pigs didn’t even change clothes, hurriedly put on the robes they had taken off, and ran over: "What’s happening?"

Starlight Master smiled faintly, stood up, and floated into the hall, leaving the field to them.

Zheng Yunqi said in a low voice, "The people from the Yixin Sect coming to take over as escort masters and chiefs are already on the way. They are expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, nineteen pairs of eyes widened simultaneously.

Immediately, a feeling of sorrow and loss suddenly arose. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Several emotionally fragile ones immediately had reddened eyes.

Everyone understood that it was inevitable and couldn’t be delayed. Once those people arrived, after a period of handover training, they would have to leave here.

To leave this place filled with joyous memories.

"Why so soon?"

Zhao Wubai became agitated, "What’s the hurry with the Yixin Sect? We’re not staying forever. By sending people now, they’re clearly rushing us! How can they handle things like this!"

"Exactly, we haven’t stayed long enough, and they already want to chase us away! Inhumane."

"I really don’t want to leave. I don’t want to teach them either..."

Zhao Wubai said gloomily.

Zhou Mei’er said coldly, "Not long enough? When is it ever long enough? I don’t know about you all, but I’d be happy to stay here my whole life. If I had to stay long enough before going back, then I wouldn’t return in this lifetime."

Zhou Mei’er’s words indeed echoed everyone’s thoughts.

Not long enough, this was the most genuine thought.

Yes, this place was far from home, filled with dangers, on enemy territory, where Starlight Master was harsh and unreasonable.

But here, it was joyful and free, without much scheming, no need to bow down as dogs, and wouldn’t be bullied and still have to smile.

That severe, brutal, unreasonable person turned out to be someone who protected them fiercely; moreover, he became the trusted patriarch for everyone.

Though he was severe, though he was ugly, though he sometimes was unreasonable, though he seemed full of flaws...

But everyone liked him!

Couldn’t bear to leave him!

Even thought of following this fierce Starlight Master for life.

Everyone supported each other, genuinely creating an Escort Agency like this.

No more need to go back to bow down, no more need for flattery, no more need to go back to those big families with the same blood but afraid to breathe.

No more facing those detestable ’uncles and grandfathers’...let alone those so-called brothers, those peers with the same blood but much nobler than themselves...

A piece of news pushed everyone’s mood to the lowest point.

"Let’s go talk with the Leader."

Zheng Yunqi sighed.

"I’m not going."

Zhou Mei’er stood with her head down, calmly saying, "I’m going back to sleep."

"...Go ahead."

"I’ll go back with Mei’er." Wu Lianlian also stood up.

Suddenly, most of the Golden Flowers got up gloomily, "We’re going back to sleep too."

"..."

Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi sighed, understanding their feelings.

Knowing these girls might go to their rooms to cry into their pillows, understanding this very well. Truth be told, they too felt an extreme sense of loss, an empty longing sensation wanting to cry.

It was like their souls had been emptied.

...

Wu Lianlian followed Zhou Mei’er to her room. The two sat side by side on the pale pink sheets, Zhou Mei’er touching the sheets with infinite reluctance, nostalgic as she looked at this small room.

This room was dozens of times smaller than her boudoir at home.

But she felt here was much happier than her own boudoir at home, even feeling that this was completely her own.

But that boudoir at home didn’t belong to her.

"Mei’er, are you okay?"

Wu Lianlian asked with concern.

"I’m fine."

Zhou Mei’er answered emptily.

Wu Lianlian sighed, "Mei’er, I just can’t understand you... your vision, your mind, what are you thinking?"
