Batu drove the horse-drawn carriage and left the Naiman tribe without any problems.

He was not surprised at all by the result.

After witnessing Wen Rushi's abilities, no one dared to stop her from leaving, unless they were suicidal.

After the carriage left the Naiman tribe's territory in the middle of the night, Batu found a place to stop and rest.

The journey away from the grassland was much smoother than the journey there.

Of course, this is partly due to Wen Rushi's influence.

Whenever she encounters birds of prey or similar animals on the road, she will quietly unleash her aura upon them.

As a result, the wild beasts dared not approach.

On the way, when Wen Rushi released her divine sense, she saw Yue Lingyun and his group.

There were more than a dozen people, all wrapped up tightly. If Wenru hadn't possessed divine sense, even if someone else had walked right past them, they probably wouldn't have been able to recognize them.

She steered Batu slightly off course, and after half an hour, the carriage collided head-on with them.

However, there was a distance between the two sides; one was sitting in a carriage, while the other was wrapped up tightly, so they couldn't recognize each other until they were face to face.

Wen Rushi lifted the curtain of the car window. "Yue Lingshan, look who's outside!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan looked up and saw several people walking towards her, all bundled up like bears and unable to see their faces. Naturally, she didn't recognize any of them.

"Sister-in-law, who are they?"

Although we encountered very few people along the way, it wasn't like we didn't meet any.

Sometimes you'll also encounter other tribes from the grasslands.

However, since the two were both sitting in the carriage, and Batu, who was driving, was staring at the face of a barbarian, nothing unexpected happened.

"It's Ling Yun and Xiang Ying." Because Batu was present, Wen Rushi did not address Xiang Ying as a general.

"Brother!" Yue Lingshan believed Wen Rushi's words, even though she hadn't seen her fourth brother's face yet.

Yue Lingyun suddenly heard his fifth sister's voice. He thought he had misheard.

He subconsciously looked up in the direction of the sound.

Upon looking, he saw the person waving at him from the carriage. Who else could it be but Fifth Sister?

"Fifth Sister!" Yue Lingyun waved and ran off.

The two were born in the same year, but Yue Lingyun was a month older than Yue Lingshan.

Because he was only a month older, Yue Lingshan didn't usually call Yue Lingyun "brother," especially after Yue Lingshan had already achieved Qi cultivation while he hadn't yet. She treated him like a younger brother.

Yue Lingyun never imagined that his fifth sister would one day call him "brother".

"Batu, stop the carriage!" Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan and the others immediately jumped down and headed straight for Yue Lingyun and his group.

Wen Rushi also got off the carriage.

Yue Lingyun first looked at his younger sister, and then at Wen Rushi.

"Sister-in-law." Yue Lingyun glanced at Wen Rushi and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't seem to be injured.

"You've come to see me and Ling Shan, right? Thank you for your trouble."

"We came as soon as we received the news, but we underestimated the grasslands in winter," Xiang Ying said with a wry smile.

They always had horse-drawn carriages when they entered the grasslands.

Unfortunately, they encountered a pack of wolves on the road. The people were unharmed, but several horses were dragged away by the wolves.

They had to disassemble the carriage into smaller pieces and push it around.

The hardships along the way need no further explanation.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to meet the person they were looking for.

Otherwise, who knows how long we would have to spend on this icy plain.

Wen Rushi originally planned to let Yue Lingshan and Yue Lingyun leave, while she would go deeper into the grasslands to find any remaining survivors. If she found none, she would find a place to go into seclusion.

After hearing about their experiences along the way, Wen Rushi decided to send them off the grassland before leaving.

half a month later.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped on the border of the grassland.

"Sister-in-law, are you really not coming back with us?" Yue Lingshan looked at Wen Rushi, who was about to leave, with surprise and reluctance in her eyes.

"Well, I still have things to take care of. After I'm done, I'll find a place to go into seclusion..."

"Don't worry, once I've finished my business, the barbarians won't use those methods on the battlefield anymore. As for anything else, there's nothing more I can do to help you." Wen Ru jumped down from the carriage.

Although that wild boar demon committed many evils, he was not wrong in some ways.

As a cultivator now seeking immortality, she really shouldn't interfere too much in worldly affairs.

Moreover, this is a matter of dynastic change, a major event involving cause and effect, and it is indeed not suitable for her to get involved.

Wen Rushi never intended to use his abilities to change the dynasty.

The consequences of that were something she couldn't bear.

Call her cold-hearted or selfish, it doesn't matter.

As for the suffering that wars inflict on others, to put it bluntly, it's none of her business.

Looking at Wen Rushi, Yue Lingshan had a feeling that once her sister-in-law left, she might never see her again in this lifetime.

"Sister-in-law, if you leave like this, what will happen to my brother?" Seeing that Wen Rushi had gotten off the carriage, she followed suit.

Wen Rushi gazed at the distant snow-capped mountains. "Once I go into seclusion, I will never come down the mountain again. Ling Shan, tell your brother that if he wants to remarry, he doesn't need to care about me. Just pretend I don't exist."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Ying also got off the carriage.

She never expected that Wen Rushi would leave at this time.

"Medical Doctor Wen, you know the situation at the border. The soldiers of the Great Jin need you. Can't you stay here? I can understand if you want to go into seclusion, but with your abilities, you can easily deal with these barbarians outside the border in no time. It won't take up much of your time."

These past few days, they haven't encountered the same ferocious beasts they came from, and she knew without a doubt that it was all thanks to Wen Rushi.

A cultivator who can intimidate even wild beasts and wolf packs from a great distance possesses methods that ordinary people cannot match.

For someone like her, ending the border war would be an easy task.

However, Xiang Ying couldn't understand why Wen Rushi, who clearly had the ability, would leave.

"No." Wen Rushi replied with only two words, sounding somewhat indifferent.

Xiang Ying was shocked that she had absolutely no pity. "How...how can you be so cold-hearted? Do you know how many civilians die at the hands of the barbarians every year? Do you know how many soldiers die in battle every year? Do you know how many families will be destroyed and how many people will die if the barbarian army marches south?"

"I know, but what does this have to do with me?" Wen Rushi looked up at Xiang Ying.

"You!" Xiang Ying paused, "As General Yue's wife, a dignified general's wife, how dare you say it has nothing to do with you!"

Wen Rushi shook her head. "I never said I was a general's wife. When I was in the military camp, I was a military doctor who treated the sick and saved lives. After leaving the military camp, I am just myself, and nothing else matters to me."
