The next day, everyone slept lazily. Luo Liya only felt pain in her eyes and temples and wanted to keep sleeping like this, but in the end, she struggled to open her eyes. What entered her eyes was the long missed winter sunlight, shining through the screen in her room, making her seem very tranquil and warm.

Luo Li Ya stood up and looked out the window at the sunlight. The corner of her mouth could not help but raise slightly as she frowned. She lifted the quilt and changed her clothes, asking the servant girl to bring the washing water in. After she finished washing up, she walked out of the room with a smile on her face.

It was a good day for the sun to rise on the first day of the new year.

Liu Mei didn't expect that she would see Wu Kong and Zi Ruo's figures in the courtyard as soon as she walked out of the main hall. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she walked up to them.

"The wall …" Did you leave? " She spoke slowly.

Zi Ruo nodded, "He probably left in the middle of the night. We drank too much, so we didn't notice that he left a letter in the morning." Zi Ruo sighed and showed the letter to Luo Liya.

There was only a single line: See you later, don't think about it.

Luo Liya could not help but shake her head, her face had a trace of indescribable regret, but soon after, her smile returned. He had to leave after all, he was close to her, and since he said that they would meet again, they would definitely meet again. She believed him.

"Elder sister, Wei Xi is a good person." Wu Kong said on the side.

"Well, he's a good man." Luo Liya looked at the rising morning clouds and said with some emotion. After a long time, she finally turned around and fixed her eyes on Zi Ruo, "Where's the moon spirit? "Are you awake?"

"She was a bit drunk last night and is still sleeping."

"Let her sleep for a while longer. She must be tired. Shall we go eat?"

Zi Ruo and Wu Kong both nodded their heads and walked towards the main hall from the courtyard. Lori had long since stood up and was busy taking care of everything while Luo Yan was still resting in her room. It should have been quite some time since his true qi recovered.

While the others were busy eating, Luo Liya walked out of Luo Yan's room. She stood at the door, reached out her hand and lightly knocked on the rosewood door: "Dad, I am Liya."

"Dad, are you awake?"

Luo Liya thought that Luo Yan had fallen asleep, when she suddenly heard a rustling sound. Then, the door opened and Luo Yan neatly stood in front of her, "Dad, it's time to eat."

Luo Yan replied with an "En" and walked out. Overnight, her originally thin face was now full of radiance again, and Luo Liya's suspended heart was slightly relieved.

"Father, are you alright?" Can you summon out your true qi now? "

Luo Yan was silent for a moment, her face suddenly became extremely unsightly. Luo Liya's heart skipped a beat, could it be … Haven't recovered yet?

Seeing Luo Liya flustered, Luo Yan finally let out a smile, "Of course you're fine, don't think of your father like that."

"Then you …"

"I want to see your reaction." Luo Liya could not believe that the Luo Yan who was always so calm and solemn, was actually joking with her just now …

"Liya, you are Father's only daughter now. With Father, there is no need to be so restrained. Father really wants to make up for all that he owed you in the past."

As she said this, her eyes flashed with a strange light. Luo Liya fixed her eyes on him, and couldn't help biting her lips. After a long time, she finally gave a bright smile. "Mhmm."

"In the future, Father will try to be like an ordinary father who talks to his daughter about everything."

"Yes."

Luo Liya really didn't know what to say. Ever since she came to this world, she rarely felt the existence of family love, and even once sealed her heart, but now … She seemed more and more emotional, more and more human.

"Let's go eat now." Luo Yan pulled her arm, and Luo Liya quickly caught up with him and held her up. Although he said he had recovered, she was still worried that he was trying to be brave.

After arriving at the main hall, everyone ate breakfast together. Coincidentally, Fu Quan had brought Mrs Xu and Fu Dongming over to pay them a visit, and spent the whole morning chatting. In the afternoon, Fu Quan and Luo Yan went out to patrol the streets to inspect the refurbishment of River City.

"We will leave for the Imperial City the day after tomorrow. Elder sister, don't be so discouraged, let's go out and play!"

"That's right, Liya. Wukong is right. It's not easy to have a good tour around River City. As a host, you have to fulfill your duty!" Moon spirit also took Luo Liya's arm and said with a smile.

Luo Liya was so frustrated that she had no choice but to agree to go with them to climb a mountain on the outskirts of River City.

That mountain didn't have a name, but there was a temple on top of it. It was said that it was very spiritual, and on the first day of the new year, many men and women would climb the mountain to ask for signatures, hoping for good fortune in the coming years.

Luo Liya felt that these were all nonsense. If she wanted to obtain something, she could only rely on herself, but it was just for fun anyway. Fortunately, she had the temper to do so.

Luo Liya, Wukong, Zi Ruo, Yue Ling and Luo Lei all went to climb the mountain together. Luo Liya, Wu Kong, Zi Ruo, Yue Ling, and Luo Lei all went to the mountain together, but all of them did not use their own techniques.

She could not help but close her eyes. Suddenly, Wu Kong's voice rang out next to her ears, "Elder sister, do you need to make a wish? I heard that the gods here are all very effective."

"No, you can go if you want."

"Elder sister, what wish do you have? I'll help you get it. " Wu Kong didn't give up and pulled her sleeve as she asked. Luo Liya couldn't help but open her eyes with a helpless look on her face, "I don't believe these ghosts and gods' words. Go to hell, don't disturb me."

When Wu Kong saw that Luo Liya had refused like that, he could only sigh, "It's just a good prize. Elder sister, you're really stubborn!" As soon as his voice fell, his gaze shifted to the distance as he pointed ahead with his finger. "Elder sister, what do you think that thing is?!"

Luo Liya looked at his exaggerated appearance and could not help but want to laugh. She turned her head and saw Wu Kong's finger pointing in the direction of a very large light. Even at such a far distance, they could still clearly see the words on it.

"The weather is smooth and the people are safe in the country."

"It's the words of the military governor." It was unknown when Fu Dongming had walked up to them. After saying that sentence, Luo Liya turned around and saw a faint smile on Fu Dongming's face. His handsome face was filled with worry for the nation and his generosity.

"If only all the officials in the world could be like my father and your father."

"That's right. Without an official like Gao Ying who favours the public, without an ambitious official like Dongli Zhenren, the world would be clear and peaceful."

Fu Dongming had a face full of emotion, but Wu Kong only answered, "I'll leave this difficult task to you. You're a good official material, you'll definitely be able to bring glory to our family and be admired by the people of this world."

Wu Kong said half jokingly and half seriously. At this moment, Fu Dongming knocked on his head, "You sure you can act cocky just by using a few idioms?"

"No, I'm not that cocky. Sis, do I?"

Luo Liya shook her head.

"Look, your sister said that I didn't, so I didn't."

"What kind of logic is that?" Fu Dongming smiled as he said that. His eyes were filled with helplessness as he inadvertently glanced at Luo Liya. Very good, the three of them were getting along very well.

The two continued to tease and Luo Liya couldn't help but stretch her arms. Originally, she only planned to train hard today, but she came out to play with them instead. However, it wasn't bad to be able to relax.

One day later, on the third day of the new year, while everyone was still immersed in the joy of the new year, Luo Liya and the others were still packing their bags and walking on the road from River City to the Imperial City.

The academy had given her very few holidays. In the past few days, she had been through so many hardships, yet after two days of idle time, she would once again head to the Imperial City. There were even more hardships waiting for her there.

Luo Lei was naturally with them. He had returned to River City for Luo Liya, and his wife and children were still in the Imperial City. He also wanted to return and reunite with them as soon as possible.

At last, they successfully made it to the academy at the end of the holiday period. Lori first returned to his own family in the Imperial City to reunite with his wife and children, and originally wanted to take Lori, but she had yet to see her sister-in-law and nephew, but because she still had a lot of things to do in the academy, she had to attend classes tomorrow and couldn't make it in time, so Lori had no choice but to give up.

Wu Kong and Zi Ruo parted ways with them at the intersection of the male and female bedrooms, while Luo Liya and Yue Ling walked towards the Drunken Wine House. However, they hadn't been here for several days, yet Luo Liya felt as if many years had passed.

The two of them carried Luo Liya to the second floor. Their bedroom was still empty. Since Fire Phoenix and Zhang Yi had not arrived, Luo Liya felt very relaxed. This was good as well.

She and Yue Ling were both tidying up their own luggage. After tidying up their beds, both of them were tired, lying on their own beds, dozing off with their eyes closed. When they heard a rustling sound, Luo Liya was the first to wake up.

As usual, Huo Cuifeng haughtily looked down on them. This time, she didn't say anything sarcastic and just chatted with Zhang Yi as if she and the moon spirit didn't exist.

That's for the best. She lay down again, closed her eyes, and was about to take a nap when she realized something important had not been done.

This year's tuition fees have yet to be handed over to the teacher.

She suddenly stood up and patted the moon spirit's back. "Moon spirit …" Moon Spirit... "He's awake!"

The moon spirit drowsily opened her eyes, her face somewhat confused. She could not help but rub her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"We haven't paid the tuition yet."

Hearing Luo Liya's words, Yue Ling's drowsiness also disappeared, and her eyes gradually became clear again.

"Is there still time?"

"I should be able to make it in time." Luo Liya quickly put on her clothes. She was in a panic, but her tone was unspeakably calm.

"What time? The teacher has already left."

Suddenly, a voice rang out. Luo Liya looked towards the direction of the voice, it was as if there was nobody around to continue her actions, but on her face, it was obvious that she was laughing mockingly.

Luo Liya was infuriated by that look. He wanted to retort, but he didn't want to argue with her. Her measure wasn't that small.

"Moon spirit, let's go." "En." Luo Liya said softly. The moon spirit answered with a 'En' before quickly following in her footsteps.
