"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner, just to celebrate my recovery today."
The two of them went down the mountain along the same route. Jiang Yanxu changed his clothes, took off all his accessories, and hid the ends of his hair in his collar.
Compared to his casual and unrestrained demeanor when he wore a Taoist robe, he had a gentle and dignified temperament in work clothes, with a narrow waist and long legs, a crane-like figure and a slender posture. There was an indescribable grace in his every move. When you walked beside him, you could faintly smell the mixed fragrance of borneol and sandalwood emanating from him.
