As all the equipment was packed perfectly into that huge expedition backpack, a sense of departure began to quietly permeate the air of the Wood Forest Land.
Only one week remained until the official departure.
Before leaving, Lin Yu'an had to ensure that everything at home was arranged properly.
That evening, the fire in the fireplace was burning brightly.
Lin Yu'an, Aliya, and Emily, who had started staying over in the guest room, were seated around the long dining table.
"Emily." Lin Yu'an put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at her.
He spoke in a solemn yet natural tone, "I will probably need to leave for about two months. During this time, I'll have to rely on you and Aliya to take care of the house."
"Don't worry." Emily nodded, and an unprecedented firmness shone in her blue eyes.
After arranging everything at home, Lin Yu'an began his farewell journey over the next few days.
