"Although things didn't go exactly as I expected, they should be taken care of. Su Wen has received his due punishment, and the rebels have safely left Blue Sea City."

  C.C. made an "oh" sound and didn't ask Rulu for the details of what happened. She said: "So what do you plan to do next, Rulu?"

  "Do you even need to ask? Of course, I'm going home. If I get back late, Nana will worry about me again."

  Hearing this, C.C. couldn't help but smile: "Rulu, you've improved since before. You know how to consider others' feelings now, how to think of others."

  "What are you talking about? I've always treated Nana as my most important family. I won't let her suffer any grievance or harm."

  "Then what about me? How do you see me? Would you treat me as well as you treat Nana?" C.C. stared at Rulu.

  Rulu paused, saying with some hesitation: "C.C., you... you are my important partner. As long as you stay by my side, I absolutely won't let anything happen to you either."

  "Then what if both Nana and I were in trouble? Who would you save first? Who is more important to you?"

  Rulu gave C.C. a reproachful look and said somewhat impatiently: "That situation won't occur. Alright, we should go. If we don't leave soon, I'll leave you behind."

  "Fine, I'm exhausted today. I need to get back and have a good rest."

  Afterward, the two set off for home together. There were no incidents along the way, and they returned home safely. This time, Nana didn't run out to find Rulu and C.C. like last time; she had been staying quietly at home.

  Seeing Rulu and C.C. return safely, Nana couldn't help but show a relieved smile. Upon seeing Rulu's injuries, her expression changed to one of slight sadness. She gently touched Rulu's injured right arm and said with complex emotions: "Rulu, you... you're injured again."

  "Don't worry, look, I'm perfectly fine," Rulu said with a relaxed smile, moving his injured arm to show that he was alright.

  Nana sighed and turned her gaze to C.C.: "What about you, C.C.? Are you alright?"

  C.C. said: "I'm fine too."

  "That's good," Nana said softly. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked nervously: "You went out this time to deal with the Sanctuary and that Governor Su Wen. Since you both returned safely, does that mean that Governor Su Wen is already..."

  Rulu's face instantly darkened, and he said coldly: "Hmph, that guy got lucky. He begged me for mercy, promising not to dare oppose me again, so I spared his life and let him live."

  Hearing this, Nana felt a bit more at ease. She said softly: "Yes, killing alone cannot solve problems. I hope everything will be peaceful from now on. By the way, how's your injury, Rulu? Do you need my help?"

  "No need, but I would like to rest properly. Could you make something for me to eat, Nana?"

  Nana said: "Alright, I'll do it right away. Rulu, you're injured, so you must eat something to properly regain your strength."

  "Me too, I also want delicious food," C.C. clamored when she heard there would be food.

  "I know, I'll prepare your portion too, Miss C.C.," Nana said with a smile, then went to the kitchen to prepare the food, while Rulu returned to his room to rest peacefully.

  In the days that followed, Rulu stayed at home to recover from his injuries, while also constantly monitoring the external situation, wary that the Sanctuary might take action to pursue him.

  But the Sanctuary, after the battle in Blue Sea City, remained remarkably quiet. They didn't take any measures to capture the assassin, nor did they launch any operations against the rebels. News reports also completely omitted mention of this major event that had occurred in Blue Sea City recently, as if nothing had happened at all.

  Rulu speculated that this situation was due to the Sanctuary's defeat in the previous battle. Moreover, their Governor Su Wen was seriously injured, and the Feihu General and Jason had been killed by him, causing internal chaos and low morale. They had no energy to deal with him or the rebels. This phenomenon was very advantageous for him—at least for the near future, he was safe and didn't need to worry about being pursued by the Sanctuary.
