"Forget it," Qu WeiYin said, lowering her gaze again, her long lashes concealing her emotions. "What could you possibly offer?"
"Nothing now, but there will be in the future. So, let’s count it as a debt. If you ever need anything, just ask," Luo JinXiao said with a bright smile.
Qu WeiYin turned away, nodding slightly.
Just then, a piece of paper fluttered down from the sky like a yellow bird, struggling in the wind until it landed in front of Qu WeiYin. She held it between her fingers and read it.
"Elder He says he forgot the date of his seclusion and is returning to teach the class," Qu WeiYin said, shaking her head in exasperation. "Come with me; there's something I need to discuss with you."
Following Qu WeiYin back to HanYun Pavilion, Luo JinXiao was nearly knocked over by the enthusiastic QiongQi, who had been living there for some time. She barely managed to stay on her feet.
"In just one night, how did it get so much bigger?" Luo JinXiao wondered, noticing the once tiger-sized QiongQi had grown into a rotund beast.
QiongQi tried to lick her face, but she quickly leaned back to avoid it.
Qu WeiYin's cheeks flushed slightly as she replied, "It kept asking for food yesterday, so I fed it more."
Luo JinXiao glanced at QiongQi’s belly, momentarily speechless.
"How much did you feed it?" she asked.
"Not much," Qu WeiYin paused before adding, "Just a few cows."
Luo JinXiao almost choked on her own saliva, coughing to mask her shock. "No wonder, it's quite greedy. Usually, half a cow is enough."
"Is that so? Oh," Qu WeiYin nodded, her delicate hands clasped behind her back, looking embarrassed.
"It’s fine, it won't get sick from eating," Luo JinXiao laughed, cautiously poking QiongQi’s belly.
"I’ve never fed it before, usually..." Qu WeiYin started to explain but stopped, realizing it was unnecessary.
Luo JinXiao looked at her, their eyes meeting. Qu WeiYin’s gaze was calm, though her face was slightly red, revealing nothing unusual.
Luo JinXiao felt a vague thought flit through her mind, elusive like mist.
Never mind, she shook her head, dismissing it as overthinking.
Unseen by her, Qu WeiYin turned away, exhaling deeply.
With a gentle wave, Qu WeiYin conjured two steaming cups of fragrant tea on the table. Luo JinXiao noticed it was Yunwu tea, the leaves settled at the bottom, clear and rich.
"Sit," Qu WeiYin invited.
Luo JinXiao, never having been formally hosted by Qu WeiYin before, quickly smoothed her robes and sat properly.
"What did Elder Qu say to you?"
"He talked about the celestial vein and using others’ veins for cultivation," Luo JinXiao answered honestly.
