Finally! No more white hospital walls and Lady Bailu riding on Jing Yuan's back to take his meds, though he still had a prescription just for safety. Happy that he's finally discharged, Jing Yuan could only watch as his crush and retainer helped him pack his things up.

Well, he never really wanted you to do any of the work (justice for Yanqing part 2). Still, he couldn't stop you either since you insisted relentlessly, though occasionally he did try to stop you though, his efforts simply ended up futile.

After finishing all the paperwork for his release, you and Yanqing escorted him back to his estate. Oh how badly he looked forward to going back to his bed. He couldn't wait to have the best sleep of his life, it almost made him giddy.

"I trust you've kept my estate clean Yanqing?" Jing Yuan asked the boy, as he saw a confident smile. "Not a speck of dust at all General" The answer made him smile "Good job... you truly are my pride and joy", "Does this mean I can get a new sword!" "No" he was quick to shut him down.

"Oh come on Jing Yuan, I'm sure he deserves it" You started to vouch for the poor boy, Yanqing immediately took your side, looking over at the General with pleading eyes. Jing Yuan was torn between two reasons. One, If he were to deny the sword again he might seem like a terrible master in your eyes and two, if he didn't deny the sword, he would be feeding Yanqings unresolved sword addiction.

In such situations, any good guardian would say these exact words, "I'll think about it..." his tone coming out a bit softer than usual. Both you and Yanqing looked at each other and back at him. "Really?" The two said in unison.

Jing Yuan wished he was thrown back into the hospital bed now. " Yes, yes I'll really think about it" He groaned internally as they made it to the front gates of his estate.

To say it was big would be an understatement, not as big as the Astral Express but definitely big. Well, it is indeed the house of The General, which has also housed many other Generals before him, so it not being as magnificent as it is would be a disgrace to the Xianzhous architectural expertise.

After a while from helping Jing Yuan stow his things away, Yanqing had to return to his duty which leaves Jing Yuan with just you,
all alone...
in his house...
where anything could happen...

They could maybe, who knows kiss? Or go even further than that. That's what happens in all the romance stories right? The main protagonists end up all alone in a highly secluded area and the next thing they do is what people do in highly secluded areas right.

Jing Yuan's head started jumping from one thought to another finding himself deeper and deeper in a world of 'darkness' He snapped out any such thoughts immediately after seeing how far away you started to get as you looked around his estate.

He followed closely behind as you looked at the small things around his place. The collection of photographs, Beautiful portraits, ornate tapestries, and cultural art pieces. which definitely are worth more than a fortune. It really was a big place for one person to live in.
