Gui You did not look at Su Xiaolu. He said calmly, “Your comprehension is not bad either. You’ve basically learned everything. You just need to practice day after day and don’t fall behind. I’ve stayed here long enough. It’s time to leave.”

Gui You stopped talking after saying that.

Knowing that Gui You was about to leave, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were also a little reluctant, but in the end, they only wished Gui You safety.

Su Sanlang said a few simple words, gave the children money bags, and then began to eat.

Gui You rarely spoke while eating. After eating, he said to Su Chong and Su Xiaolu, “Come with me.”

Su Chong and Su Xiaolu got up and followed.

Gui You took out a black sword and a green sword and handed them to Su Chong and Su Xiaolu.

Su Chong’s sword was completely black.

Su Xiaolu’s was green. The two swords were about the same size.

Gui You said, “This is my apprenticeship gift to you. A swordsman can’t live without a sword. These two swords are forged with supreme-grade cold iron. I hope you like them.”

Su Chong and Su Xiaolu cupped their hands and said together, “Thank you for the sword, Master.”

Su Chong knelt down, and so did Su Xiaolu.

“Thank you for your guidance, Master.”

The two of them kowtowed to Gui You.

Gui You’s expression was gentle. He reached out to help Su Chong and Su Xiaolu up and said, “Get up.”

“I’ve said everything I need to say. You guys can go back.”

Gui You turned around.

Su Xiaolu and Su Chong also turned around and went out.

After returning home, Su Xiaolu put the sword into the s.p.a.ce and sat on the bed in a daze.

Su Xiaoling entered the house and stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair. She went to the wardrobe and took out two sets of clothes. She handed them to Su Xiaolu and said, “Xiaolu, these are the clothes I made for Master Gui You. Take them and give them to him. If I knew that Master Gui You is leaving, I would have made a few more sets.”

“Sis, thank you.”

Su Xiaolu hugged the clothes, thanked her, and got up to leave.

She shouted from outside the door, “Master Gui You, my sister made clothes for you.”

In the house, Gui You was packing his things. He paused and went out. He took the clothes from Su Xiaolu and said, “Thank your sister for me.”

Gui You closed the door after saying that.

Su Xiaolu touched her nose and retracted her words.

It was good that he did not feel emotional. She endured it and did not want to cry anymore.

Su Xiaolu returned home and went to bed. She snuggled into Su Xiaoling’s arms. “Sis, hug me.”

Su Xiaoling hugged Su Xiaolu as usual and patted her back gently. “Sleep well.”

Su Xiaolu quickly fell asleep. Su Xiaoling patted her back and sighed.

Su Xiaoling knew that Su Xiaolu valued relationships. As long as Su Xiaolu cared about someone, she cared about them to the core. Separation was the most painful.

However, in life, there were many separations. One could only let nature take its course. People come and go, but they would definitely welcome those who left back with open arms.

The next morning, Su Xiaolu woke up in the courtyard and shouted, “Master Gui You, it’s time to eat. We’re eating pancakes today. They’re delicious.”

It was quiet next door and there was no response for a long time.

Su Xiaolu felt that something was wrong.

Su Chong and the others in the courtyard also felt that something was wrong.

Su Xiaolu and Su Chong flew over the wall at almost the same time and went straight to the main house. They pushed open the door and entered the bedroom. It was empty and the bedding was neatly folded.

Su Chong reached out to test the temperature and frowned. “It’s cold. Master Gui You left a long time ago.”

Perhaps he hadn’t slept at all last night.

Su Chong was a little sad. He thought that Gui You would stay for a few more days, but he never expected that last night’s New Year’s Eve dinner was his final goodbye.

Su Xiaolu sniffed and tears fell.

“Xiaolu, don’t cry. We’ll meet again in the future.”

Su Chong quickly comforted Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu smiled and waved her hand. “It’s fine. I’ll be fine in a while.”

Su Chong nodded and took a handkerchief to wipe Su Xiaolu’s tears. Gui You had been with them day and night for four years. For more than a thousand days and nights, Gui You had taught the siblings diligently. He had taught them everything and was like a father to them. It was normal for them to be sad.

Su Chong missed him too, but he wouldn’t cry.

Su Xiaolu recovered after crying.

After returning home, she ate two more pancakes and began to practice her swordplay and taught Chen Shi. When Gui You was around, she would still be lazy. After Gui You left, she would not be lazy anymore.

She practiced until she was exhausted every day. In just a month, her Internal Breath had doubled.

Gui You was right. She had learned everything she needed to learn. All that was left was her daily practice.

In February, the family bought a house.

Su Sanlang and Chen Hu bought two adjacent houses on the south street of Goathorn Town, occupying an acre of land with four rooms.

The two families were separated by a wall.

They were about the same size.

Each house cost 200 taels of silver.

After renovating it, they could move in.

After buying the house, Su Sanlang called Su Xiaozhi and Madam Cao over.

Madam Cao and Su Xiaozhi arrived. Madam Zhao smiled and greeted them, “Auntie, Xiaozhi, sit. I’ll pour you some water.”

After sitting down, Su Xiaozhi asked, “Third Brother, why did you call us here?”

Su Sanlang nodded. “I have something to say.”

Su Xiaozhi was a little fl.u.s.tered and did not dare to look directly at Su Sanlang. In the past few years, she had not cut off contact with the other side. Last December, she even brought her children to Su Yufang’s wedding.

Su Xiaozhi felt very uneasy. She was afraid that Su Sanlang would be angry because of this.

Su Sanlang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Su Xiaozhi like this, but he was not like her. His expression was still calm.

After Madam Zhao poured water and sat down, Su Sanlang said to Madam Cao and Su Xiaozhi, “It’s like this. Hu and I bought houses in town and will be moving to town soon. The division of labor has to be redistributed.”

Su Xiaozhi heaved a sigh of relief, but soon she was worried again. She looked at Su Sanlang. “Third Brother, what should I do if you leave?”

Madam Cao sighed and hurriedly said to Su Sanlang apologetically, “Sanlang, don’t worry about us. We have land and a house here. Our days won’t be bad.”

Su Xiaozhi was distant from Su Sanlang. Otherwise, they would not have known anything about going to town to buy an apartment. They only found out now.

Su Xiaozhi had not changed much from before. She did not understand, but Madam Cao did. Su Sanlang must have made arrangements. Su Xiaozhi was too anxious.

Madam Cao felt her face burning, so she quickly explained that her family could fend for themselves. They had a house and land here. Even if Su Sanlang did not help them, their lives were not bad. They did not have to rely on Su Sanlang to survive.

Su Xiaozhi did not understand Madam Cao’s intentions, and her eyes were filled with anxiety. If she did not have this job, she would have no money. What should she do?

Su Sanlang’s expression was calm as he said calmly, “After my family and Hu’s family move away, we will still continue with this business. We still have to buy the vegetables from the village.”
