Li Ping'an and Old Ox truly had their eyes opened wide.
Every leaf on the little shrubs was covered in a thin layer of frost-like sugar.
They looked like one big cake, making one unable to resist leaning in for a sniff.
That vast expanse of nameless flowers resembled a snow-white ocean, making one feel as though one had stepped into a fairyland~~
"Hadn't seen much" was the only way to describe Li Ping'an and Old Ox now.
"M-Mr. Li!"
A slightly surprised voice rang out. It was Lin Xue, dressed in white.
Li Ping'an put away his wide-eyed, inexperienced expression and smiled faintly.
Old Ox glanced at Lin Xue and silently covered his face.
He seemed to have recalled the unpleasant memories of that day.
(/ω＼)
Seeing Li Ping'an, Lin Xue also couldn't help remembering that day's... memories.
Li Ping'an had bandaged her wounds and sucked the poisoned blood from her body...
She lowered her head, her pretty face reddening.
Li Ping'an: What the bubbling teapot are you two blushing for!?
"Martial Uncle Qingfeng."
Lin Xue cupped her hands respectfully in greeting.
Qingfeng waved a hand. "Where's your father?"
"My master went down the mountain yesterday. If you need anything, Martial Uncle, you can tell me."
Just then, a disciple walked over.
He was tall and thin, wearing a high crown, with an antique-looking sandalwood sword on his back.
"Gao Shicheng?"
Gao Shicheng smiled slightly. "I didn't expect you to still remember me, Martial Uncle."
Gao Shicheng was the disciple from Heaven-Reaching Peak in charge of Medicine Valley.
Qingfeng said, "Wasn't your Medicine Valley looking for someone? I've brought you someone."
Gao Shicheng looked Li Ping'an over. "Is this... your new disciple, Martial Uncle?"
Qingfeng waved his hand. "No, he's a guest retainer nominally affiliated with Shushan."
Gao Shicheng
