Marshal Wang thought it was reasonable, and so he said: “Then you must be more careful on your way.”
After returning to the military medical camp, Bai Zhi said goodbye to Doctor Shen and Duan Cheng.
Doctor Shen was not surprised at all. Since the day that Bai Zhi volunteered to send the snake soup to Marshal Wang. He knew that this young boy’s purpose of coming to this military camp was to see Marshal Wang. And now that he has seen him, he will naturally leave.
Duan Cheng was very reluctant to give up. He begged him to stay. But after begging for a long time, he still didn’t nod his head. He went back to the small tent and sulked.
Bai Zhi wrote down the prescription of the medicine that Marshal Wang needed to take and exchanged a few more words. Then, she said to him: “Master, although we only became a master and apprentice for a short time, I will consider you my master for a lifetime. Don’t forget this apprentice in the future.”
Doctor Shen said: “Don’t also forget this master. Alright, go now to the small tent, and leave early.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head and bowed to Doctor Shen, then she turned away from the big tent, and went to the small tent to get her things.
Duan Cheng, who was sitting on the bed, stared at him: “Just a few days ago, aren’t you calling me big brother? And now you despise me?” Bai Zhi packed her baggage without raising her head: “You are my big brother, so how come I will despise you? I’m leaving now because there is something.”
“What is the matter?” He asked.
“There are very important things, but it’s not convenient to say. Duan Cheng, if it is our fate, we will meet each other again.” She was now determined, just like when she came to this place that day.
Duan Cheng frowned: “If it is our fate… … what if it’s not, does it mean I will never see you again?”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Let’s see it’s written in our destiny. Meeting each other here is also our fate, so I believe that it will not easily be broken. We will see each other again.”
“Do you really have to go?”
“I have to go.”
“… …”
In the end, Duan Cheng failed to keep Bai Zhi. After watching his carriage disappear completely, he suddenly thought of something. He hadn't asked where he lived. He didn’t know where he lived. So how can they see each other again in the future?
Duan Cheng ran as hard as he can. He used light footsteps, but how can his two legs compared to four legs of the horse… …

On the mountain road not far away from the military camp, Bai Zhi saw three people in the distance. When a sound of galloping horse sounded, the three people looked towards her.
Isn't it Hu Feng who is in the front?
Bai Zhi hurriedly stopped the carriage.
“Why are you here?”
Hu Feng handed her a cloth bag: “There are roasted sweet potatoes inside. I dug them in the mountains. You guys take it and eat it on the road.”
You guys?
She raised an eyebrow, wondering who he was referring to as ‘guys’.
Zhou Gang busily butted in: “Miss Bai, Prince Jin allow me to go back with you. I want to meet Xiaofeng and Awu. I’ll come back in a few days.”
So originally that was the case, Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Well, Xiaofeng has always been very worried about you. If you two meet each other again, he will be more comfortable to study.”
Zhou Gang repeatedly thanked Prince Jin for saving his son, and Bai Zhi for letting his son have a bright future. He said thanks many times, but no words can express how much he was grateful at them. Zhou Gang then jumped in front of the carriage and said to Hu Feng and Fu Zheng: “Prince Jin, please go back quickly, don’t let people find you sneaking out.”
Hu Feng nodded his head, but his eyes didn’t leave Bai Zhi’s figure even for a second. This girl seemed to be unhappy because he wants her to go?
Hu Feng wanted to say something, but Bai Zhi didn’t give him an opportunity. After handing the whip to Zhou Gang, she went directly inside the carriage.
