Bibi Dong's son, I have been waiting for you.

In a moving carriage, Yunlong and his maids were calmly enjoying their journey while talking with each other.
'Big sister, should be fine… As I already gave Dugu Bo and Xiao Xun an instruction to assist her if she's in a bad situation,' Yunlong suddenly thought while brushing Yuri's white furs.
'But, I cannot stop thinking about that woman for some reason.' He added with a sigh while remembering Liu Erlong, who he encountered in the heaven dou city one week ago.
"Young master?" Bai Xue's voice suddenly entered his ears, which made him shift his gaze to the red-haired maid.
"Hmm, do you need something, Bai Xue?" Yunlong asked her, who timidly held a thick book in her embrace, which is about herbs that he gave one week ago.
"It's about silver tongue grass. Why has no one ever used it as medicine?" Bai Xue asked with bright eyes, which made her fellow maids stare at her in awe, especially Yu Ning'er.
"Well, let's see… The silver tongue grass actually can be used as medicine, but you need to process it carefully." Yunlong answered while giving her a calm gaze.
"Also, because there is another alternative, which is purple root grass, someone who knows about medicine rarely uses the silver tongue grass as a medicine ingredient or medicine itself." He purposely added, which made Bai Xue quiet.
Bai Xue muttered a few things about the herbs and looked at him again. "Can I ask you again?" She asked with an eager expression.
"Sure, we have a lot of time," Yunlong responded as a Question and Answer session started between the two of them while the other maids calmly listened.
After a few hours of discussion, Bai Xue naturally bowed her head at Yunlong. "Thanks for the teaching, young master." Bai Xue thanked him with a grateful expression.
"Mm, you can ask me more later." Yunlong calmly reacted.
He took a gaze at the maid for a little bit and knocked the window a few times, which alerted the driver.
"How long did we have to take until we arrived at the star luo empire?" Yunlong asked the driver.
"Well, if we keep this pace, we probably arrived tomorrow morning," The driver replied while steadily controlling the carriage.
"We should probably take a rest, though. But if you stay too long in the carriage, Young master probably would be bored, right." He added with a calm expression, which made Yunlong chuckle for a second.
"Then, what about a short break?" Yunlong said with a smile on his face. "We've been traveling for a few hours after all."
The driver only nodded his head as he slowed down the carriage and stopped near a small river, which naturally flowed from the nearest mountain.
As they took a short break, Yunlong suddenly asked the driver, "By the way, what province are we in right now?"
"Since we have passed through the nearest border, we are in the fasinuo province now." The driver replied while looking at the azure sky.
'Wait, doesn't the nuoding city in this province?' Yunlong thought while frowning as he feels weird for some reason.
"Hey, my mother is the one who told you to take this route, right?" Yunlong looked at the driver, who quietly nodded his head, which confirmed his guess.
'Don't tell me. Mother wants me to meet that man?' He frowned while thinking about a man who left Bibi Dong at the lowest point of her life.
As the short break was over, they continued their journey to the star luo empire and liked what Yunlong guessed; they stopped in a city.
'The nuoding city.' Yunlong thought while looking at the bold words carved in a stone template, which caused him to sigh.
'Let's see what mother has been preparing for me,' He continued while looking at the city activity from the carriage's windows.
The carriage moved to the spirit hall's branch, which is not far away from the city gate, and it only took around one minute for them to arrive at a big white building.
"Young master, we have arrived at the nearest branch." The driver said while opening the carriage door, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.
"Let's go," Yunlong said to his maids and walked out of the carriage.
As they walked toward the branch, a group of white-cloaked men welcomed him, making Yunlong even more sure that his mother is preparing for this.
Yunlong only glanced at the white-cloaked men and entered the building, which caused them to be confused.
"Y-Young master, wait." One white-cloaked man said while trying to follow him.
"Where is she?" Yunlong immediately asked while looking at the cloaked man.
"Pardon?" The white-cloaked man reacted with a confused expression.
Yunlong activated his keen sense and observed the area, which pointed him to notice someone's presence on the top building, which is probably his mother.
"Too slow, I already found her." Yunlong glanced at the white-cloaked man and walked toward the stairs.
Yunlong quickly walked toward the highest floor, which led him to a corridor with a brown-looking door at the end.
He opened the door, which revealed a nice-looking room with a few beautiful flower decorations.
"It's like what she said. You arrived here in a week." A woman's voice entered Yunlong's ears, which made him frown because even though he only encountered her twice, he recognized this voice.
"What are you doing here." Yunlong turned his gaze to the balcony, where he could see Liu Erlong quietly looking at the skies.
"The skies look good today, right?" Liu Erlong suddenly said while shifting her gaze at him.
"I know that you're confused. I am also confused because the man I loved betrayed me to an unknown woman. It's ironic." She continued with a sad laugh, which made Yunlong even more confused.
"Your mother also experienced the same irony, but different from me. She found her own happiness."
"What do you mean by that?" Yunlong silently asked with a grim expression.
"Well, it doesn't mean anything." Liu Erlong responded with a neutral tone while walking into the room.
"Bibi Dong's son, I have been waiting for you."
