The eastern sky was turning bright as the people who had celebrated for the entire night snored from where they were on the ground. Some of the mercenaries standing guard napped. This time was when people's guard was lowest.

A black figure flashed out of the tent under the grey sky. One cat on each shoulder, a silver wolf and a handsome black horse following behind her. She looked back yearningly at the tent and then moved to walk away.

"Wait, Brother Zhui Yun!"

A soft call came from behind her. The young man with a broadsword ran over with a smile as he said, "Aiya, I managed to find you in time. Milord Father said he knew you would leave in the night so he had me come. Who would have thought that your tent was already empty. Luckily, I came to check Young Captain Rong's tent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen you."

This black-robed figure planning to sneak away was Aofeng.

Luo Fei came close and blinked. He asked in slight astonishment, "Brother Zhui Yun, why do I feel your presence is slightly stronger? You levelled up again?"

Aofeng's face was rosy and she didn't look as though she was injured. She seemed to give off some power in her movements. Luo Fei felt pressured by the tiny bit of power that leaked out.

"Yes, I just levelled up. I cannot control the power in my body well." Aofeng smiled apologetically at her. Last night, she had tamed the Giant Mammoth, the Dragon-Lizard, the Caden Tiercel, the Saber-Toothed Tiger King, and the Double-Horned Nightmare Warhorse standing next to her. She had jumped from a three-sword spirit magister past the important hurdle of seven-sword directly to become a nine-sword spirit magister. Not being used to her power level was normal.

"Brother Zhui Yun is really strong. No wonder Milord Father told me to come early to recruit you." Luo Fei joked.

"Castellan Luo Li is cunning." Aofeng smiled slightly and shook his head. "But I will not remain here."

"We know, so I came alone to find you without any of my retinue." Luo Fei blinked happily at her. "Do not worry, I do not want to keep you here. Milord Father wanted me to deliver some things to you."

Aofeng was surprised by what he said, "Deliver some things to me?"

"Yes, Milord Father said this is a gift from someone in your past, and he was just safekeeping it. This has to be given to you before you leave." Luo Fei waved what he held in his hand. This was a blue ribbon that gave off a soft and faint light. Aofeng's heart shook and she had an expression of joyful surprise.

Something Mama Su Ya had left her!

Aofeng reached out to take it. She caressed it with a gentle expression and said gratefully, "Thank Castellan Daren for me. This item does have significant meaning to me." In both lifetimes, she was an orphan. Aofeng especially treasured having a gentle and beautiful mother who cared greatly for her. In her heart, she truly thought of Mistress Su Ya as her mother.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. This is also yours." Luo Fei gave a bright smile. He spread his hand, and an exquisite blue diamond ring entered Aofeng's view.

Luo Fei pointed at the blue diamond ring. "Yesterday night, we had a meeting at the rear. You came late so you didn't hear. Last time, didn't I tell you the hero who contributed to the siege would be gifted an unimaginable treasure? This is it!"

"Spatial ring? I do not lack this. You should take it back." Aofeng stilled and then said with a frown and a shake of her head. Spatial rings were valuable but she already had two. What was the use in having one more?
