"Safe travels on your way back to Gusu, Sect Leader Lan."
Bowing, Cale had sent his regards to Qingheng-Jun who was boarding a boat to Gusu.
Lan Xichen had already went back to Cloud Recesses to help Lan Qiren rebuilt their place.
The redhead offered him a teleportation talisman in order for the Sect Leader to go back to his clan in a faster way, but Qingheng-Jun wanted to see many sights on his travel considering he was in seclusion for many years.
"Take care of Lotus Pier for a while, A-Xun." Sect Leader Jiang says.
He offered to guide Qingheng-Jun to his travels, as he have another business some place else to take care of.
"Why would I be the one to govern Lotus Pier while you're gone? Madam Yu can take care of it herself." Cale says, shivering at the amount of paperworks Sect Leader Jiang have on his table.
Sect Leader Jiang just shrugs before patting the redhead and boarded the boat.
Cale stood at the port for a while as he watched the boat get little by little at a distance.
"Gege, can we ride Xuanwu on our way back?" Xue Yang who was latching on his waist, asks.
"Alright." Cale agrees, since he's too tired to walk back.
Mounting Xuanwu's already smoothen islet(thanks to Madam Yu's hygienic care for the turtle), the two set sail through the rivers of Yunmeng Jiang.
✶⊶⊷⊶⊷❍⊶⊷⊶⊷✶
It has been three days since Jiang Fengmian left the Lotus Pier, and Cale sending Xuanwu to him to make sure that everything is alright.
And now, he's having dinner with Madam Yu and his siblings. Xue Yang snoring away in his room after a long day of training.
He listens to Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng bickering, while Madam Yu just huffs from time to time when the two said something funny. Jiang Yanli talks with her mother too, ganging up to the two boys as they both whined.
Cale just listened to them, a small smile in his face as he munched the meat he's eating.
The redhead sometimes wonder, what would it be like if he didn't reincarnated in this world. Would the scene in front of him would be different? Or would it be the same? Cale have no way of knowing, so he just let himself bask in the present.
The redhead looks at the book situated beside his plate before looking at the four, a voice reverberating in his head.
- Interesting.
It was the young Jour Thames' voice.
Before Cale could ponder and ask what is interesting, the redhead could feel a surging headache as he choked on his food, his chest aching at the same time.
"A-Xun?" Cale could hear Madam Yu asks as her hand snaked around his shoulders to guide him.
"Gege!"
"A-Niang, what's wrong?"
"Gege! Where does it hurt?"
It wasn't that Cale couldn't hear them, he just couldn't focus because of the pain.
"I pray that somewhere, in another timeline or world, you would continue to exist."
Memories he couldn't remember appeared, his heart continued to ache.
It wasn't long before Cale realized that what he's feeling is longing.
"I'd rather not, hyung-nim. I'm already quite contented in my second life."
