The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 124: Jiangnan

After handing over the weightlifting competition to Zhu He, Yan Jue felt relieved.

After all, the recreational events were just a side attraction, so she let the little pig enjoy herself.

Afternoon.

Yan Jue was wearing a light green pleated skirt and met Qi Xianqing at the mountain gate.

The latter half of the Wulong Summit was also an essential part of the event, but it was clearly much more leisurely compared to the tightly scheduled individual competitions.

Thus, Qi Xianqing and Yan Jue had plenty of time to do other things.

When Yan Jue stepped onto the blue stone steps at the mountain gate, Qi Xianqing was already waiting for her.

Dressed in black athletic attire with her dark hair pinned up with a jade hairpin, Qi Xianqing stood tall, her face exceptionally refined.

Yan Jue couldn't help but smile as she ran over in two or three steps and hung onto Qi Xianqing.

Qi Xianqing raised her hand and gently supported Yan Jue's back, a trace of amusement sparkling in her eyes: "My junior sister has been observing the heavens, and for the past few days, it has been cloudy, with no moonlight."

"The team competition probably won't be able to proceed."

"I need to make haste to Jiangnan to handle an important matter."

Qi Xianqing was incredibly busy, often swamped with official duties, and had to carve out time to deal with personal matters.

Hearing Qi Xianqing mention Jiangnan, Yan Jue felt a vague suspicion arise in her heart.

She furrowed her brow slightly: "Senior sister..."

Qi Xianqing turned to look at her and said softly, "I'm going to find the disciples from the Sound of the Zither Pavilion and use the music to guide the souls of my parents to rest."

Yan Jue knew that the death of Qi Xianqing's parents was likely an eternal knot in her heart.

It was evident how much pain mentioning them brought her.

The two didn't exchange much as they descended the mountain, with Yan Jue instinctively holding onto Qi Xianqing's hand.

After they left the mountain, they flew on their swords.

As dusk approached, they finally arrived in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan truly lived up to its reputation, with beautiful landscapes everywhere.

Pavilions and towers dotted the streets filled with bustling people.

Countless rivers crisscrossed, with fishing boats coming and going, and the water was clear enough to see the bottom.

Yan Jue held Qi Xianqing's hand, strolling leisurely along the riverbank, curiously admiring the scenery around her. The gold necklace around her neck jingled with a pleasant sound.

After watching for a while, Yan Jue turned to find Qi Xianqing gazing at her.

"What's wrong, senior sister?" Yan Jue asked.

"You mentioned before that you're from the north," Qi Xianqing said, looking at her with gentle eyes. "But I always feel you're more like a Jiangnan person."

Not only was her demeanor similar, but even her way of speaking reflected it.

It was as if she had the soft voice typical of Jiangnan girls, along with an effortlessly charming manner...
