Everyone frowned. Southwest?

“Must you go?” Madam Ruan grabbed Shu Yu’s hand and could not let go at all.

Shu Yu nodded. “Because this matter is of great importance. Temple Master doesn’t trust anyone else but me. So I have to make a trip personally.”

“But, but…”

That was the southwest, and the journey was long. Shu Yu was only a fourteen-year-old girl, and she was going there alone. What would she do if she encountered something?

Lu Erbai said, “I’ll go with you.”

“Father, do you not want your feet anymore?” Shu Yu disagreed. “It wasn’t easy to cure it. If something happens again, I’ll have to live in guilt for the rest of my life.”

Lu Erbai tensed up. “Don’t feel guilty. This has nothing to do with you. Yu, don’t…”

Daya immediately came over. “Then I’ll go. My legs are fine and I’m young. We’re sisters, and we’re all girls. We can still take care of each other.”

Shu Yu laughed. It was dangerous for two young girls to go out.

Shu Yu shook her head. Seeing that the others wanted to accompany her, she quickly said, “Time is tight. I have to go as fast as I can. I can ride a horse, what about you?”

The old lady was just about to ask Daniu to accompany her when she choked. Daniu could drive a carriage, but riding a horse…He didn’t have the conditions to practice it.

However, they couldn’t let a girl like her leave!!

Lu Erbai frowned and thought for a moment. “How about this? Hire two escorts, female escorts.”

They couldn’t do it, nor could they tell Shu Yu not to go and save them. That was the temple master of Dongqing Temple, the person who had saved Yu’s life.

That was her master, her family. They couldn’t stop their family from getting into trouble.

Shu Yu knew that she had no choice but to agree, so she nodded. “Alright, then I’ll listen to you.” However, it seems like our Jiangyuan County doesn’t have any female escorts.”

Lu Erbai frowned.

Shu Yu said, “How about this? I’ll go look for Lord Xiang tomorrow. He has a wide range of connections. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to help me find two female bodyguards or female guards.”

The Lu family members put their palms together. “Yes, yes, yes. I’m looking for Lord Xiang.”

Shu Yu looked at their expressions. It was as if finding him meant finding someone reliable. She could rest assured.

She couldn’t help but twitch her lips.

The old lady asked, “How long will your trip take?”

Shu Yu felt that it was a little difficult to say, but she still said, “That might be the case, but it won’t be more than half a year at the latest.”

The Lu family was speechless. So long?

They had only been reunited for less than three months. Why were they separated for half a year now?

Sanya sobbed and threw herself into Shu Yu’s arms. “Second Sister, Sanya doesn’t want you to leave.”

Dahu pursed his lips tightly and clenched his little fists, but his eyes were glistening with tears.

Shu Yu patted the two little fellows’ heads. “Be good. Eat well at home and grow up quickly. When Second Sister comes back, let Second Sister see two healthy younger brothers and sisters, okay?”

Sanya sobbed, but she still took the time to reply with one word, “…Alright.”

Shu Yu then looked at the other people in the Lu family. One by one, their eyes were all red.

Even Shu Yu herself couldn’t help but feel her eyes turn bitter, and her heartfelt stuffy.

The day before he left the Lu family, Shu Yu went to look for Daniu and Lu Sanzhu separately. She asked them to unite and take good care of the old lady and the second branch’s family.

After that, she returned home and packed some simple bags. Under the gaze of the whole family, she quietly waited for the next day’s parting.
