They chatted about this and that, talking for quite a while.
As the sun rose, the dart masters prepared to set off. The group exchanged a few more promises to meet again before finally bidding their farewells. They waited until the escort agency's convoy was completely out of sight before boarding their carriage to head back.
On the way, Xu Su Ying said to Chen Wanqing, "Uncle Xu's petition to return to Capital City for a family visit has been approved. We leave the day after tomorrow."
"Ah? So suddenly?"
"What do you mean, suddenly? I've been waiting for this day for a long, long time. Those who owe me debts better wash their necks and wait for me. If I don't take everything back with interest, my name isn't Xu Su Ying."
Xu Su Ying then looked at Zhao Jing. "Has your official travel document been issued yet?"
Zhao Jing nodded. "It's all sorted. I just need to pack some books, and I'll be ready to go."
