Exiled!? Ha! I have An Infinite Space-Chapter 100 -

Fu Teng did not say anything more after agreeing. He only turned and went back inside briefly, returning not long after with a simple outer robe draped properly over his shoulders.

He did not carry much.

There was no need.

An Yu waited by the side of the carriage without urging him, his posture calm as if he already knew Fu Teng would follow.

When Fu Teng stepped out again, he walked straight toward him.

"I will return later," he said to the family.

Master Fu nodded.

"Go and learn properly," he replied.

Madame Fu added quietly, "Take care of yourself."

Fu Teng gave a small nod.

His gaze shifted briefly across the courtyard, then stopped for a moment before he looked away again.

I watched him.

There was no hesitation in his steps this time.

Whatever had made him agree—

He had already decided.

Without another word, he followed An Yu toward the carriage.

An Yu stepped forward first and lifted the curtain slightly. Fu Teng got in without delay, and a moment later, An Yu followed after him.

The carriage moved soon after.

The sound of wheels rolling against the ground faded slowly as it left the path, taking both of them away.

For a few seconds, no one spoke.

Fu Tong let out a breath.

"He actually went," he said.

Fu Li crossed her arms slightly.

"At least he did not refuse again," she replied.

Bai Ming said nothing, only pulling the children closer as she watched the road for a moment longer before turning back to what she was doing.

The courtyard slowly returned to its normal rhythm.

I remained standing near the gate, my eyes still on the empty path.

"...So he decided in the end," I murmured softly.

I wondered what had changed his mind so suddenly.

But before I could think further—

Footsteps sounded behind me.

I turned.

Fu Sheng had just entered the courtyard.

His clothes were slightly dusty at the edges, and his hair carried a faint trace of morning moisture, as if he had already been out for some time. His expression was calm, but there was a quiet focus in his eyes.

He stopped when he saw me standing there.

"You are already up," he said.

"I am," I replied.

I looked at him carefully.

"Where did you go this early?" I asked.

He stepped further in, glancing briefly toward the others before looking back at me.

"I went to look around," he said.

"For what?" I asked.

"For land."

I paused.

My eyes stayed on him.

"...Land?"

He nodded once.

"I heard from someone yesterday that there are unused plots not far from here," he said. "I went to check."

I looked at him quietly for a moment.

"So early in the morning?" I asked.

"It is easier to see things clearly before people start moving around," he replied.

That made sense.

But still—

I tilted my head slightly.

"You did not tell me," I said.

He looked at me.

"You said you wanted to go out today," he replied. "So I went ahead first."

There was no pride in his tone.

No need for acknowledgment.

He had simply... done it.

I stared at him for a second longer.

"...And?" I asked.

"What did you find?"

He did not answer immediately.

Instead, he took a step closer.

"There is land," he said.

His voice was steady.

"Not too far from here."

My expression sharpened slightly.

"Is it usable?"

"Yes," he replied. "But it has not been taken care of."

That was expected.

"And water?" I asked.

"There is a small stream nearby," he said. "It is not large, but it is enough."

I let out a quiet breath.

That was enough.

More than enough.

I looked at him properly this time.

"So," I said slowly.

"You were thinking about the same thing."

He held my gaze.

"You were not subtle," he replied.

I almost laughed.

"...I see."

For a moment, neither of us spoke.

Then I nodded once.

"Take me there," I said.

He did not hesitate.

"Alright."

And just like that—

What had only been a plan in my mind last night...

Was already beginning to take shape.

....

After Fu Sheng and I left, the courtyard slowly settled back into its usual rhythm.

The morning air carried the faint smell of food as Madame Fu and Fu Fei continued preparing breakfast in the outdoor kitchen. The sound of light cooking filled the space again, steady and familiar.

Fu Fei stepped out briefly, wiping her hands on her clothes as she looked toward the gate.

She let out a small sigh.

"Those three left without even waiting for breakfast," she said.

Her tone carried a hint of complaint, but it was not serious.

Madame Fu, who was still inside, laughed softly.

"They will be fine," she replied.

Then she added calmly,

"As for Fu Teng, he will most likely be given food where he is going."

Fu Fei tilted her head slightly.

"With An Yu?"

"Yes," Madame Fu said. "Since he went to bring him personally, he will not neglect something like that."

Fu Fei nodded slowly.

"That makes sense."

With that, she turned back and continued helping.

Not long after, the food was ready.

Everyone gathered in the courtyard, sitting around the table as the simple breakfast was served. It was not much, but it was warm and enough to fill their stomachs.

The children ate quietly this time, perhaps still tired from the previous day, while the adults spoke lightly, their voices calm and steady.

When they finished, Bai Ming stood up.

She hesitated for a brief moment, then looked toward Madame Fu.

"...Madame," she said. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Madame Fu looked up.

"Yes?"

Bai Ming lowered her gaze slightly.

"Can I... take some food with me?" she asked.

Her voice was careful.

Madame Fu paused.

For a moment, it looked like she wanted to ask something.

Her eyes rested on Bai Ming’s face, noticing the slight tension in her expression.

Then—

She did not ask.

She simply nodded.

"You can take it," she said.

Bai Ming looked up, a hint of relief passing through her eyes.

"Thank you," she said softly.

She quickly packed a small portion of the leftover food, careful not to take too much, then turned to the children.

"Stay here and behave," she told them.

Fu Qin frowned slightly.

"Where are you going?"

"I will be back soon," she replied.

Fu Lin nodded quietly.

"I will watch him," she said.

Bai Ming gave a small nod, then turned and left the courtyard.

Her steps were not fast, but they were steady.

She did not look back.

The moment she disappeared from sight, the courtyard grew quiet for a second.

Then—

Fu Li folded her arms.

"She definitely went to see Han Fuji," she said.

Her tone was certain.

Fu Fei looked at her.

"You think so?"

Fu Li gave a small snort.

"Who else would she go see this early in the morning?" she replied.

Fu Tong leaned back slightly.

"That man said he did not want to stay," he said. "Yet she is still going after him."

Fu Li shrugged.

"Whether he wants it or not is his problem," she said. "But she clearly does not think the same."

Madame Fu did not interrupt.

She only listened quietly, her expression calm.

After a moment, she spoke.

"Let her handle her own matters," she said.

"There is no need for us to interfere."
