Jiang Xiao Xian watched Yang Yun silently as he waited for the servant to placed down some refreshment on the table . Then, Xiao Xian waved a hand to dismiss the servant and poured some tea for Yang Yun .
"Sit down," Jiang Xiao Xian pointed towards an empty chair .
Yang Yun glanced at the chair before he obediently sat . He opened his mouth to speak but stopped when Xiao Xian pushed the teacup to him .
"Have a drink," Xiao Xian said . His deep voice sounded like a command .
AdvertisementYang Yun took a sip and put the cup down .
"I seem to recall that you're on a month break," Jiang Xiao Xian said . "Why are you so eager to return to the border?"
Yang Yun smiled faintly and lowered his gaze . "The one month break was approved for my wedding . But now," he did not continue, but Xiao Xian knew what Yang Yun meant .
Jiang Xiao Xian drank his tea slowly . "You don't have to return to the border with me and the others . Stay in the capital and look after your mother and sister . "
"General Jiang, I-"
The young General lifted his hand to stop Yang Yun from speaking . "I know what you were going to say, but I did not stop you from returning to the borders because I don't think you're capable of returning to your task in your condition . "
"Then, why?"
"Da Cheng has signed a peace treaty with the Prince of Sui Country," Jiang Xiao Xian answered . "Both countries have agreed not to initiate an attack for five years . His Majesty wanted me to return to the capital city and continue to serve him here . Since the Crown Princess had not chosen a husband among the princes, His Majesty had predicted that the attack against her would only get worst . It's fortunate that Grandfather had almost finished with preparing the potion . " Jiang Xiao Xian drank his tea to moisten his throat . "Don't worry . I will only return to the border briefly for a handover process . That's why you don't have to return with me . "
Yang Yun nodded slowly . He looked at the General once something crossed his mind . "Then what will happen to the Elite Team?"
"You don't have to worry about your team . I will not disband the team," Jiang Xiao Xian said . "You will continue to lead the team, and the team will be based in the capital . The mission will be as dangerous as your mission at the border . Moreover, if the other army group needed the Elite Team's help, you will be sent over to aid them . "
Jiang Xiao Xian continued to watch Yang Yun after he finished . "You… Are you alright?"
"I am . General Jiang, don't worry about me," Yang Yun said . His gaze softened at Xiao Xian's concern .
Jiang Xiao Xian nodded . "You should not mind too much over what the Princess had said to you . She did not know anything about what the old man had told us . Who knew that the old man was telling the truth? You will vanish once you touched the Shadow Grass . "
"Don't worry . I don't blame the Princess . "
"My parents, your mother and everyone around you are concern about you," Jiang Xiao Xian said . "Look at you . You have lost so much weight . "
Yang Yun could only reply with a smile . He didn't need to say that almost everyone in the Jiang's family seemed to lose his weight after Mingyue went missing . Mingyue was, after all the most precious daughter and sister in Jiang's family . Everyone, including the servants, loved her dearly .
"If you need any help, don't hesitate to tell us . We are family after all," Jiang Xiao Xian said . "We are all grieving over Mingyue's disappearance . However, we refuse to believe that Mingyue will be missing forever . I have notified the Second Brother of Mingyue's incident . He will return to the capital city in two weeks . We will then figure out the way to bring Mingyue back . Yang Yun," Jiang Xiao Xian paused . "You too, you shouldn't lose hope . We will find her . "
Yang Yun smiled . "Elder Brother, don't worry . I won't lose hope . I too believe that someday Mingyue and I will be reunited . I will do whatever I can to find out ways to bring her back home . "
