Yunyi knew what Master was worried about. Since she couldn’t tell him that she knew Qinggong, she directly changed the subject. "Has the snow on the rooftop been shoveled?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Before Yuan Yuxun could answer, Yuan Zining spoke up, "Grandpa went up to clear the snow a few days ago and almost fell off..."
Yuan Yuxun quickly interrupted, "Don’t listen to his nonsense."
Yuan Zining looked up at his grandfather. "I’m not talking nonsense."
Yunyi, of course, understood. "Master, later I’ll find someone to make you a ladder. When not in use, just keep it in the sheep pen, and take it out when needed. In case I’m not around, it would be safer."
Yuan Yuxun didn’t refuse. After all, his own heart truly pounded with fear every time he went up there, and besides, having a ladder would also reassure his young apprentice. "How was it?" he asked. "Did your journey to the Northwest bear any fruit?"
Yunyi smiled, taking the items from her back basket out one by one. "I experienced the desolation and sandstorms of the Gobi Desert," she said jokingly.
Of course, what she didn’t mention was that she had also taken the opportunity to give Sun Ruiming and Su Aiyu a good beating. By now, those two must be experiencing what extreme itchiness felt like, probably almost in agony.
Naturally, she couldn’t speak of this. "Master," she said, "Qiao Yuxiang might not be able to do anything for the time being, but word about her has definitely gotten back. You all need to be extra careful these days. I’m afraid they won’t give up easily and will send more people over."
Yuan Yuxun also understood. To get their hands on what he possessed, how could those people possibly let him and his grandson go easily?
What he feared most was them becoming desperate. "Yunyi, if the day truly comes when things can’t be salvaged, you must protect yourself. Don’t get involved, understand?"
After a brief pause, he continued, "If possible, help me protect Zining."
Yunyi felt a pang of sorrow. "Master, don’t be so pessimistic. I only said that to remind you to be more vigilant in your daily life, to guard against them doing something desperate. There’s no need for you to worry excessively. Besides, we’ll deal with whatever comes our way. We’ve endured for so long; we can certainly make it through this darkness before the dawn."
