As for Second Uncle Lin, just as the Duke of Zhen expected, he declined his fatherâs good intentions, insisting on staying in the most dangerous place, using small-scale friction at the border as an excuse and Beiqiâs growing strength.
In his reply, Lin Jinyun also stated that there were no cowards among the Lin Clanâs children.
Although he was only sixteen years old and still an inexperienced rookie in the military camp.
Even so, he would not back down.
Of course, being a filial son, he also deliberately mentioned in his letter that he hoped his brothers could take his place to accompany his mother.
From thousands of miles away at the Beiqi Border Pass, he wished his mother good health and peace.

Second Aunt Lin received Second Uncle Linâs reply, and she cried so hard that she could barely breathe and almost fainted.
After venting all her grievances, bitterness, worries, and concerns, her mood gradually improved.
Lin Qingluo generously used her spiritual power to unblock her auntâs meridians and treated her with medicine, and her angina had not occurred for several days.

It took ten days for the carrier pigeon to deliver the message back and forth from the border.
By the time Second Aunt Linâs condition stabilized, the day of Lin Qingluoâs fourth journey was already drawing near.
The four apprentices were ready to go, and Lin Jinlong and Lin Jinpeng had rushed back from the countryside.
Lin Jinyang forced back his sadness and watched his brothers prepare for the journey. On the eve of their departure, he pretended to be happy and sent them off with laughter.
âSixth Brother, there will be more opportunities in the future.â
Lin Qingluo felt sorry for him and tried to comfort him softly, âWhen Second Aunt recovers, we can all travel together.â
âIâm fine, donât worry about me.â
Lin Jinyang laughed nonchalantly and took advantage of his big brotherâs absence. He opened his arms and hugged his little sister.
âWhen youâre out there, be careful. The northwest border is at war, and if you encounter the Qiyan Light Cavalry, avoid them and donât try to be brave.â
âYes, Qingluo knows and will be careful.â
Lin Qingluo gave a reassuring smile with an air of confidence and determination, âQingluo will definitely take care of everyone and bring everyone back safely.â
âGood, Sixth Brother, I believe in you.â
Lin Jinyang released his sister, his eyes shining brightly with a hint of starlight.

âAh woof.â
In the deep night, Lin Qingluo returned to Fluttering Snow Residence, where Baoya was already waiting for her. Seeing her young master, she let out two obedient barks and flashed a pleasing smile.
âIs Yixuan ready?â
Lin Qingluoâs eyebrows raised, and she affectionately rubbed the little animalâs head.
âEverything that needs to be taken is packed, weâre just waiting for Master to enter the palace.â
Baoyaâs soft and cuddly voice clearly entered her ears.
âGood.â
Lin Qingluo nodded in satisfaction, âYou go first. Tell Yixuan Iâll be there soon.â@@novelbin@@
âAlright.â
With Baoyaâs joyful eyes narrowing into a line, she affectionately rubbed her masterâs wrist before darting out of the window like lightning. She ran swiftly across the eaves, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
âHaha.â
Hunao, envious of Baoyaâs speed, clung to the windowsill, peeking his little head out and stretching his neck to look up the eaves.
âHunao, youâre almost half a year old. Apart from a big appetite and not growing any taller, you havenât awakened any special abilities. This canât go on.â
Lin Qingluo looked endearingly at the little tiger, resembling a mascot with its cute, round face, teasing him playfully.
âHaha.â
Hunao understood, unwilling to be underestimated by his master, his eyes darted as he took short steps to a cup of leftover cold tea, squatted down, and took a deep breath.
