But Qin Xi couldn't stand it and handed him a handkerchief.

Song Siyao and Wan Qiji, who had just sat down, noticed the sweat on their foreheads and looked away indifferently.

Song Siyao felt refreshed and didn't break a sweat.

She thought for a moment, then picked up the teapot and poured tea for them.

"Shall we continue tomorrow?"

Although their strengths are vastly different.

But you always gain something new from exchanging ideas with people of different styles.

Song Tingwan looked at Qin Yuanyuan and her little apprentice.

Baili Xijiang hesitated, feeling that being constantly suppressed and beaten was really boring!

However, Qin Xi nodded without hesitation, and Song Tingwan also seemed to have no objection.

Baili Xijiang had no choice but to reluctantly comply with the crowd.

Song Tingwan thought for a moment, then looked at Wan Qiji and Chen Zhuochuan.

"Since you two are just idling around anyway, how about starting tomorrow, you two and Ayao take turns sparring with us?"

Just as Song Siyao thought, Song Tingwan also felt that she would gain different insights by exchanging ideas with different people.

Wan Qiji and Shen Zhuochuan had no objection.

Song Siyao did not object.

Later, under the magnolia tree on the second floor of the viewing platform, the six people sat together and finally had time to drink tea as the sun set.

"After sparring for so long, I'm actually quite hungry." Qin Xi picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.

Seeing her round, bright eyes slightly narrowed, Baili Xijiang stole a glance and also took a piece.

I took a bite.

It is too sweet.

He frowned, looking suspiciously at the pastries in his hand, then at Qin Xi's happy eating, and began to doubt himself.

Song Siyao watched quietly from the side, and then took one as well.

Wan Qiji sipped his tea, glanced at Baili and the others, and then looked at Song Siyao, who didn't like pastries.

Confuse.

This pastry is so delicious!

He hesitated for a moment, then took one as well.

Seeing that they each had a piece, Song Tingwan whispered to Shen Zhuochuan, puzzled, "Is it so delicious? Shall we try some too?"

Shen Zhuochuan nodded curiously, and each of them took a piece.

Song Tingwan found it unremarkable.

Shen Zhuochuan and his nephew have similar tastes; they both find it a bit sweet.

After taking a bite, Song Tingwan frowned slightly and asked everyone softly, "Is this pastry delicious? I just bought it randomly in Jiangcheng."

Shen Zhuochuan took a bite and put it down.

Wanqiji also silently put it down.

Song Siyao coughed, clenched his fist, and reluctantly ate the choking pastry.

Baili Xijiang swallowed it down with difficulty, as if he were swallowing a date whole.

"Not many dishes, but I saw Qin Yuanyuan eating, cough cough, she ate with great relish—"

He swallowed half of the pastry, his speech was unclear, and he choked in the middle of his speech. Qin Xi, looking bewildered, handed him a glass of water.

Baili Xijiang took two sips before finishing his sentence.

Now, all eyes were on Qin Xi.

She exclaimed "Ah!"

Looking at the half-eaten plate of pastries, I suddenly realized what was happening and burst out laughing.

"No, I was too tired from sparring, so I just grabbed something. When you're hungry, anything tastes good."

Did all these people think she thought it was delicious and that's why they took it?

Ha ha ha ha.

Song Tingwan smiled helplessly, as did the others.

But Baili Xijiang is one thing; nothing he does is surprising.

What about Song Siyao?

Song Siyao pointed at Baili Xijiang, "He took a bite and his expression was strange, but Qin Yuanyuan ate it happily. I'm curious what it tastes like—"

So I took it too.

Then his gaze fell on Wan Qiji.

Under everyone's gaze, he managed to say with difficulty, "Ah Yao doesn't usually like pastries, but I was curious..."

The remaining four looked at Song Tingwan and Shen Zhuochuan.

Shen Zhuochuan clenched his fist and chuckled, "If you all eat, wouldn't it be out of place if we didn't?"

"..."

The six people looked at each other, bewildered, as they stared at the half-eaten pastry.

A moment later, they all burst into laughter.

"It's all Qin Yuanyuan's fault for misleading us." Baili Xijiang laughed uncontrollably, but still shifted the blame onto Qin Xi.

Qin Xi lay on the table laughing, panting, "N-N-hahaha, is it my fault? I was really hungry just now, hahahaha."

Everyone really trusts her, haha.

Under the magnolia tree, laughter filled the air, and the fragrance of magnolia blossoms wafted through the air. After being caught in several life-or-death crises, they finally felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

.

Two weeks later.

It suddenly snowed in Kumogakure.

Song Tingwan, wearing a light pink French cloak, pushed open the door and walked out.

She frowned and looked up at the sky.

The seasons in Yunyin follow a regular pattern, and sudden changes are rare.

Winter arrived overnight, but what was the reason?

Feeling uneasy, she walked towards the clan chief's house through the falling snowflakes.

She wanted to see her father.

When Song Tingwan arrived, Song Hexi and Canxing were standing together, looking at the increasingly heavy snow with solemn expressions.

"what happens?"

Canxing inherited his father's position as high priest, so he must have learned most of his skills.

The young boy's face tightened, suggesting that his divination hadn't gone very well.

Song Hexi turned around, and under the swirling snow, the old man had transformed into a white-haired, white-bearded old man.

"Ah Wan is here? It's cold, you shouldn't go out too much."

After saying that, Song Hexi was also taken aback.

After realizing what was happening, he laughed and said, "I was so used to how weak you used to be that I forgot you're a Mahayana cultivator now."

Song Tingwan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Tingwan."

Whenever Canxing saw her, he would always silently bow his head slightly in a junior's greeting.

They are very respectful of their teachers.

That's why she respects her master's daughter so much.
