Moreover, as Mo Shu stated, they were coming back from Jun Yao.
Most likely, the majority of people residing in Jun Yao would be back—just like previously when the scholar in Bei Jun brought his household along while gathering Guang Tian citizens back home.
“Although the state of affairs is stable now,” Mo Shu muttered, “we have already noticed something going on. In the next two years, those living in the outside will return here.”
Soon, the outside would descend into war again.
Strictly speaking, the balance of various major powers broke long ago when Bei Jun’s king hung himself.
“About how many years will it take?”
“No more than five,” Mo Shu’s answer was confident. “It will probably take merely three years if it progresses fast.” Enough time for those foolish insects of the outside world to set off a presumptuous unrest, and spread the turmoil to the entire world.
“So, will everyone in Guang Tian come back?”
“Not all of them,” Mo Shu informed “After all, wars will bring about development in the world, so we need to learn too.” He petted Nan Ge Er’s head, “Besides, the presence of heroes is much more needed in times of chaos, isn’t it?”
Nan Ge Er was shocked for a brief moment, before chuckling lightly, “True.”
“What do you want to eat tomorrow?” Mo Shu ended the topic, changing the subject to domestic trivia.
“Anything.” Nan Ge Er stood up indifferently, carrying the takeaways to the stove as he started to heat up the food.
“The doctor said that you are getting a lot better,” his tone was brimming with pride.
Nan Ge Er curled his lips, “Mn.” Of course I am. Every day, I stick to my training, eat my meals on time, rise and sleep early, and also keep myself joyful…
Ugh, alright. Maybe I should add my nightly ‘trainings’ to this too?
Once the thought popped into Nan Ge Er’s mind, he couldn’t help making a face. He turned towards Mo Shu, “What exactly are you trying to imply?” What are you being proud for?!
Mo Shu lifted up his head and blinked, feigning innocence, “I heard that not eating till you’re full will shrink your appetite in the long term.”
Nan Ge Er twitched his lips fiercely as he looked down at Mo Shu from above, “I remember you saying I’m the one doing the eating. I’m full; thanks for your concern.”
“How is that possible?” Mo Shu looked at Nan Ge Er with earnest and decent eyes. “I don’t think you’re full at all.”
“But I think I’m really full.” Nan Ge Er gritted his teeth.
“Don’t say that…” Mo Shu finally began to pester him incessantly. He hugged Nan Ge Er’s legs in a swoop, rubbing them without a shred of dignity, “I’m not full; I’m not full. I want to eat; I want to eat.”
Nan Ge Er responded impassively, “Hold your horses, I’ll heat up these ‘leftovers’ fast,” he emphasized, “so you can eat them soon.”
“You know full well that isn’t what I meant!” Mo Shu’s hands started fondling him all over.
“Hey! Stop messing around!”
“I’m as decent as I can be.” Mo Shu replied with a twinkle in his eyes

The world outside is on the verge of plunging into chaos. Every single being will be afflicted, as their grievous howls filled the air. Soon, the sound of war drums will echo all over, while iron hooves stampede through every nation.
However, in this tiny, well-fortified city, residents spend their daily, peaceful lives chit chatting.
And I am favored and cared for by both this place and everyone in it.
What a blessing it is.
—The End—
Authors Final Words

Thank you, everyone, for accompanying along this journey; thank you for the love you gave me. I would always show off the number of comments and bookmarks this novel has to my friends smugly. You know, there isn’t much difference between the number of comments and bookmarks…it really is something to be proud of! Thank you for being so diligent! The footprints you all left are the driving force pushing me to continue. Hope this short story can provide every one of you a tinge of warmth in the chilly winter.
Hope Nan Ge Er and Mo Shu can still be an inspiration for everyone to believe there are many things delightful in life.
Well then, see you in the next story! Thank you.
PS: As for the little brother spin-off everyone is discussing, I personally feel no need for it, as the main story stated it clearly. He simply committed a mistake every person usually would make. When Nan Ge Er was alive then, his little brother was sent up the throne because he was protected by Nan Ge Er. Besides, I’ve mentioned quite a few times that the power of Prince Li is massive. As a king, an official like that is obviously frightening. Hence, he feared Nan Ge Er and tortured Xiao Nan under the instigation of others. After the ‘death’ of Nan Ge Er, only when he found himself completely deserted did he realize he was actually protected by Nan Ge Er constantly, so he hung himself in Prince Li’s manor. This is why Mo Shu assessed, since Bei Jun’s king is kept in a cage, he could only accept his position as a dog no matter if he was a wolf…
Ahem..so, I think I’ve already made it clear~
Furthermore, as for spin-offs…I won’t continue writing about it. Even if I want to, I’ll obviously start a new story.
However, I won’t start a new series any time soon, because I don’t have any spare time. Attentive kiddos probably know my hands are really full…囧
So, it probably will need some time. Hope you guys will still remember me. Love you all! Signing off╭(╯3╰)╮
