"Hehe, looks like I came back at the wrong time."
Li Qingyuan teased, "I interrupted your chat."
Bing Ling'er hurriedly rose to welcome him. "Senior Brother Qingyuan, upon learning that you had returned from the Nine Provinces and come back to the sect, I specially came to pay you a visit."
Her beautiful eyes shimmered as she smiled brightly. "I never expected Senior Brother Qingyuan to bring Sister Miao Le back."
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Bing Ling'er continued, "I never expected Sister Miao Le to be not only beautiful and extraordinarily gifted in cultivation, but also lively and open-hearted. Whenever I speak with her, her wonderful words come one after another."
"Ling'er truly wishes she had an elder sister like this."
Miao Le smiled sweetly. "Good sister, I like a younger sister as clever as ice and snow, as gifted as you are, and as breathtakingly beautiful as you."
"Good sister!"
"Good sister!"
"..."
"Hiss!" Goosebumps nearly rose all over Li Qingyuan's body.
He walked into the pavilion, took out a brand-new teacup himself, poured a cup of tea, and drank it. His eyes lit up as he praised, "Excellent tea-making skill."
"Oh, right, Junior Sister Bing."
Li Qingyuan seemed to remember something. Taking out a storage ring, he said, "These are the cultivation resources your father, Heavenly Frost Dao Venerable, prepared for you. He asked me to bring them along the way."
Bing Ling'er accepted the storage ring, emotion welling across her face as she said softly, "I lost my mother when I was young. Father raised me all the way to adulthood."
"He personally taught me cultivation, imparted to me the ways of dealing with people and conducting myself, and personally oversaw every kind of resource. Only then did I achieve what I have today."
