"Why don't we sneak back?" Su Qi asked Jiang Zuo on their way back.
Jiang Zuo sounded a little resigned. "Is it really that serious?"
"A month is a long time. It's not like it's for a ritual. It feels like such a waste."
"Sister Jingyue said it would be within a month. It might only take a few days.
Besides, don't you need to come back for advanced training? What if they see you've skipped too much and don't let you train?" Jiang Zuo said.
Su Qi looked conflicted for a moment, then said, "So we won't have time to have a baby?"
Jiang Zuo nodded.
Su Qi said regretfully, "Fine, I'll stay then.
If I'd known, I never would have become a Candidacy Saintess."
Jiang Zuo said nothing. 'When Su Qi was a child, she didn't just want to be a Candidacy Saintess—she wanted to be the *actual* Saintess.'
'Guiding Su Qi back to the right path was the result of his ten years of hard work.'
Afterward, they returned to Su Qi's place.
