Though the other party was not very old, Xu Changqing did not dare slight her. He hurriedly cupped his hands. "My name is Xu Changqing. I came here to see Si Geng."
The other party suddenly understood. "So you're Xu Changqing!"
Xu Changqing froze. "You... know me?"
The person before him giggled. "My name is Mu Ning. I'm your senior sister."
Xu Changqing cupped his hands again. "So it is Senior Sister Mu before me."
Mu Ning's eyes flickered, then she lifted her chin. "I heard you're an Insect Cultivator too, and that you even raised an Inverted-Vein Dragon-Transformed Insect Matriarch?"
Xu Changqing nodded lightly. "That's right."
Mu Ning was immediately intrigued. "Quick, quick, quick! Call it out and let Senior Sister take a look!"
Xu Changqing looked somewhat troubled. "This..."
Mu Ning puffed out her cheeks and pretended to be angry. "You won't listen to Senior Sister?"
Xu Changqing gave an awkward smile and was just about to explain.
At that moment, another beautiful figure emerged from within.
She was tall and slender, with a classic oval face.
Rather than a skirt, she wore a fitted black outfit trimmed in green.
Her skin was the same wheat color as Mu Ning's.
Her long hair was pinned into a high bun with an ebony hairpin.
Her brow bones were high, and the peaks of her brows tilted upward slightly.
Her nose bridge was high and straight, with an extremely faint scar at its root.
When expressionless, she naturally carried three parts majesty, with an aloof and icy air.
She first swept Xu Changqing with a glance, then walked to Mu Ning's side. Lowering her head, she glared with her beautiful eyes. "You slipped out again?"
Mu Ning giggled. "Sister Qing Tang, I came to welcome Sixth Junior Brother."
