"Sister, will we ever come back here?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Yan looked up, "Why, do you feel reluctant to leave?"
Rong Jin shyly nodded, "Mm!"
In that manor, he and his sister had lived together for over three years, watching it change day by day.
He felt an extraordinary attachment to the manor.
Even though it was his old home... apart from the somewhat blurred memories of his parents, he felt no reluctance to leave that village.
It could even be said that if it wasn’t deliberately mentioned... he had almost forgotten about that little mountain village.
Apart from his parents, those were mostly unpleasant memories.
He preferred the three years he lived there with his sister much more.
Rong Yan looked at him... the once little boy, who, due to martial arts training, had grown taller than most at the age of nine.
The siblings bore some resemblance, especially around the eyes and eyebrows... it was foreseeable that in a few years, this face would attract many girls.
"Don’t worry, if we want to come back later, we can come back anytime. Also, once we reach Beijing, you’ll go to an academy to study and make new friends."
The academy was arranged by Qin Ye’s side.
Originally, Qin Ye had arranged for the Imperial Academy, but Rong Yan did not agree.
She had cautiously chosen... the well-renowned Yuejian Academy.
The Mountain Master there was admirable, and the teachers were very knowledgeable, mainly known for their good reputations.
So, she thought that it was most suitable for Rong Jin.
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned the academy, Rong Jin’s attention was diverted.
He was somewhat nervous, "Sister, can I really do well in the academy?"
Back here, the private school was established by his sister three years ago, and the teachers she hired were Scholars... he got along well with both the teachers and his classmates over these past three years.
But after all, it was a small town near the border, which was nothing like Beijing.
Most importantly, he was actually afraid of embarrassing his sister. Follow current novels on noᴠelfire.net
If nothing unexpected happened... this trip to Beijing would likely end up with his sister marrying Brother Qin—no, now the Emperor.
Even he, naive as he was, knew that his sister and Brother Qin got along very well.
Every year, Brother Qin would take time to stay at their manor for a few days, and he would even write a letter to his sister every ten days.
This had gone on for over three years.
Brother Qin liked his sister... in those three years, his sister had never agreed to married him.
But this time was different.
Master Huo had told him that his sister was going to have a grand wedding with Brother Qin in Beijing this time.
Of course, he was happy... but also a bit reluctant because if his sister married Brother Qin, then he wouldn’t be able to see her every day.
Thinking about this, Rong Jin’s mood visibly began to decline.
Ah, why did Brother Qin have to be the Emperor?
If he weren’t, then he could have married into their family.
That way, he wouldn’t have to split from his sister into two households...
Rong Yan saw his expression change repeatedly and thought he was really worried about the academy.
She couldn’t help but say, "Do you have so little confidence in yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Jin’s disheartened mood instantly cleared.
He immediately said, "Sister, I am also very capable."
His goal was to become the Great General someday.
But Sister had said, even Great Generals need to be educated.
So, he planned to first become the Scholarly Top Scorer and then the martial arts champion, because he wanted to support his sister.
