"Mother."
The blazing sun hung high overhead. Pouting, her face full of displeasure, Qiu Qingxia returned to Autumn Waters Villa with Jun Zhantian's followers in tow.
After yesterday's Martial Arts Competition, Jun Zhantian had left with his father. Although Qiu Qingxia felt a little lonely, she had secretly stayed at Hongmen Mountain Villa, hoping to win over Jun Zhantian's mother, Luo Qimeng, her future mother-in-law. She also hoped to send Lü Shanshan and his other followers on their way before returning to Autumn Waters Villa herself-the pavilion nearest the water caught the moonlight first.
Without her, the legitimate daughter of Autumn Waters Villa, present, surely Lü Shanshan and the others could not return there alone, however thick-skinned they were. After all, any one of them was a renowned beauty in this region, and calling them proud and haughty in the past would not have been an exaggeration.
Who could have known they all had the same idea? In the end, Luo Zixi had gathered them around one table, and today they had even returned to Autumn Waters Villa with her.
Qiu Qingxia inwardly cursed their shamelessness, but dared not show a trace of it, afraid Jun Zhantian would think her petty or even come to dislike her.
Yu Jing glanced over the women present and found that Jun Zhantian was not among them, giving her a fairly good idea of why her daughter was dejected.
Naturally, Yu Jing would not reopen her daughter's wounds. Instead, she affectionately stroked Qiu Qingxia's hair and said, "We've had a very distinguished guest staying here these past two days. Take those girls to rest in the front courtyard. I'll send someone with food for you shortly. Remember, no loud noises and no wandering about, lest you disturb our honored guest's quiet cultivation."
