"Since you have some free time today, does Ayao still want to practice her swordplay?"
"...Then let Shen Zhuochuan demonstrate his spear skills for my sister, since she likes it anyway."
As Song Siyao spoke, she became angry and couldn't help but glare at Shen Zhuochuan, who was busy working over there.
The man was squatting by the fire when he sensed a strong gaze and instinctively turned around.
The two sisters sat in the sunlight. One of them smiled gently, her face hidden behind a fan as she looked over, which made the corners of his lips unconsciously turn up.
Meanwhile, the other person, who sat upright and exuded an air of righteousness, glared at them with dissatisfaction.
Shen Zhuochuan's smile froze, and he raised an eyebrow, looking down at the spirit object he had just strung together.
He was working hard and diligently, so why did he upset A Yao again?
The man looked at the woman he admired with a questioning gaze. Song Tingwan's red lips curved slightly, and she was about to send a glance when A Yao snatched the fan from her hand.
Then he stood firmly in front of Song Tingwan, completely covering his sister's face.
Shen Zuichuan suddenly burst into laughter.
He stood up, dusted off his robes, and bowed helplessly to Song Siyao, "Although I don't know why I upset you, I'll apologize to you first."
His tone was somewhat amused.
Baili Xijiang covered his mouth and squatted down, nudging Aji next to him to look.
Little did anyone know that Wanqiji had already seen it, and he was lowering his head to suppress a laugh.
With Song Tingwan's view completely blocked from behind the fan, their laughter could be heard even more clearly.
She laughed heartily, took her sister's arm, and leaned closer, saying, "I don't know what I ate earlier, but I kept catching a sour smell..."
Everyone laughed, and Song Siyao was caught in a dilemma: whether to remove the fan or not.
Song Tingwan covered her mouth and laughed, while Song Siyao blushed and put away her fan as if she didn't care at all.
She held the long-handled fan in her hand and played with it for a couple of rounds, holding it like a sword rather than a fan.
They all suppressed their laughter, but the smiles in their eyes were impossible to hide.
They chose a location not far from Tianji Gate, on a scenic mountaintop where one could easily see the city stretching out from Tianji Gate.
A gentle breeze lifted their robes. The sky was clear, and sunlight filtered through the trees overhead, casting dappled patterns of gold onto them. Sitting on the shimmering silk that Song Tingwan had laid out, they felt so comfortable that they almost fell asleep.
With close friends by your side, how could you possibly be so bored as to fall asleep?
Especially with Bailixijiang River nearby.
There will never be peace.
Even after Qin Xi returned, I could still hear him raving about how delicious his grilled fish must be.
"I'm still angry, but you're acting like nothing happened. You even dare to brag."
Qin Xi walked over to him and sat down with an annoyed expression.
Fortunately, her father loved her.
She, the newly appointed sect leader, was sent to investigate the Demon Realm, so it's no problem for her to disappear for a few days or even ten days.
"I've become a hands-off manager so I can go out and have fun with you guys."
Qin Xi sounded somewhat guilty when she brought it up.
Fortunately, after hearing the reason, Father readily agreed.
Otherwise, she would be too embarrassed to ask.
“Your Tianji Sect has dealings with the Demon Realm, so how can you be considered a hands-off manager if you go to the Demon Realm for investigation?” Baili Xijiang retorted.
Song Tingwan sat with her sister, peeling and eating lychees while watching them talk and smiling.
Shen Zhuochuan slowly flipped the grilled fish, listening with a gentle smile.
Aji nodded from the side, "Just tell me what your sect wants. Consider it an apology for delaying you."
Now, with a set of valuable enchanted robes, even someone who used to be somewhat poor and practiced both sword and body cultivation can now make promises with ease.
Qin Xi was just making a fuss on purpose; in reality, she was just happy that they could go out and have fun together. She didn't really care about Aji's benefits.
"I was just kidding, Aji, don't take it seriously." A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes. Aji seemed quiet and didn't talk much, but she had actually kept all their words in mind.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Aji felt guilty again.
Baili Xijiang pulled her down to sit, then grinned at Wanqiji: "Aji, you can't do this. You always have no bottom line with us. What if we turn bad in the future and trick you into emptying the Demon Realm?"
That smile seemed to hide a mischievous intent.
But everyone present knew that Baili Xijiang was the most soft-hearted and a crybaby.
Wan Qiji handed him the freshly grilled fish, saying, "You guys don't know how."
He smiled confidently.
Baili Xijiang took a bite and grimaced from the heat, but it smelled delicious. After taking a bite, he chewed and said:
"Of course I will. I'll start coaxing you once I get to the Demon Realm."
"Then we'll coax all of Aji's treasures away, and we'll go have a good time."
Wan Qiji took the freshly grilled fish that Shen Zhuochuan had just prepared, along with his own, and handed it to Song Siyao and Song Tingwan.
"One was grilled by me, and one was grilled by Yun Chuan Zun Shang. You can try them."
He specially prepared the two of them separately, handing his own to Song Siyao.
Shen Zhuochuan, who was still sitting by the fire, raised an eyebrow.
Even Aji has finally come to his senses.
It's not easy.
Things are finally getting better.
Song Tingwan met his gaze, and a smile flashed between them. They looked at each other tenderly for a moment, then restrained themselves and one of them started working while the other ate the grilled fish.
"What about mine? I have a share."
Qin Xi went over to take a look and sure enough, there were three more fish on the shelf.
She looked longingly at Aji and Chen Zhuochuan, thinking, "She'll have her own, won't she?"
Shen Zhuochuan smiled and looked down. Wan Qiji picked it up and put it in her hand. "Of course there is."
Each person gets a grilled fish, and no one is left out.
