    “We are wrong. The North Qi invade, and what we need to do is not toe to Destiny Monk. I remember one thing you once said – you don’t believe in the so-called destiny of heaven, you believe in yourself, and it is we who can make decisions about our destiny!”


    “…”


    “The North Qi Land invades because they are impulsive. What we need to do is to write letters to Prince Muyi and have a discussion with Cloud Land. If the threendsbined forces, what would those magical monsters do anyway?”


    “…”


    “The most important thing about the world is peace. The North Qi Land has breached the deal, so they have to pay. The cost is thebination of our threends.”


    “…”


    “Destiny Monk does have some knowledge about what happens, but his knowledge is limited, totally not living up to his name,” Gu Chaoyan said with a serious expression.


    Zhou Huaijin nodded. He totally agreed with what she said.


    He touched her head and then caressed her face. “I got it! We were just too anxious about the civilians at the border to calm ourselves down. We will have time, so we’ll take it slow.”


    Only then did Gu Chaoyan feel slightly calmer.


    The two of them headed towards Xinlin Mansion together.


    ***


    The following day, the Crown Prince as well as General Liu led the army and headed towards Jiayu Pass. It was drizzling, but the drizzle in May did not matter much. The road would get dry, as they marched on.


    General Liu had his own troops – three camps with around 50,000 people.


    Half of the Saint Divine Land’s military forces were gone once those troops were taken.


    Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin were standing on the top of the gate and watching the scene. They wondered what the future would bring about when they were gone.


    Another battle started at Jiayu Pass the night before. More than 2,000 soldiers of the Saint Divine Land died in the war, whilst no one was hurt in the North Qi Land’s army.


    They were not in the same standard of military forces.


    The North Qi Land depended on their magical monsters, while the Saint Divine Land kept losing their men.


    Gu Chaoyan took a look at the gate and saw that the King did note to see those soldiers off. He did not even show up the whole day.


    “Let’s just leave.” Zhou Huaijin reminded her.


    “Okay.” Gu Chaoyan answered, as the couple walked off the gate.

    At the Min Mansion.


    The Old Master of the Min Family as well as Min Qing was seeing the Crown Prince and General Liu off at the gate.


    Only Madame Min and First Ms. Min were waiting for them at the hall. Peace had dominated the Saint Divine Land for too long, almost decades, so even Madame Min felt a bit emotional.


    They had not expected that the Saint Divine Land would be threatened from both inside and outside.


    They wondered what would happen in the future. However, as long as the Min Mansion was not involved, then it would be fine. After all, the Min Mansion had been a noble family for hundreds of years.


    Madame Min sighed.


    “Get the kitchen ready for dinner, and you don’t need to move. We will be waiting for Min Qing to return,” Madame Min said.


    That was a conventional rule.


    Women from mansions were supposed to wait for the men, who saw the army off, to have the meal together, which was an auspicious sign.


    Having said this Madame Min saw the housekeeper rushing in. “Madame Min, the housekeeper of Mrs. Min’s mansion is here. He says that he has some words to pass on to you.”


    “Zhuxun’s words?” Madame Min suddenly felt rmed.
