After deciding on the location, the two returned. By the time they arrived back in Lishi City, it was already noon. There were people waiting for them at the city gate, saying that the two hadn't returned all night and Farmer Zheng and the others were worried.
Xiaomi's face instantly fell, showing a pitiful expression: "Oh no, I forgot to tell Mom and Dad in advance."
Not coming home last night, I guess Mom and Dad were worried sick.
"Last night was too late, even if you returned you couldn't enter the city. Understandable, but you better not delay, go home first and let Mom and Dad know you're safe."
"Oh, oh, right, right, let's go home first."
The two dismounted quickly and led their horses as they ran home.
When they arrived home, they realized there were already two guards standing at the gate. With a careful look, you could spot a few others patrolling the courtyard.
