Chapter 66 (2/2)
In response, Nangong Mingming raised her eyebrows sharply, “Hurry up and thank Senior Disciple Sister!”
“Thank you, Older Sister!” Perhaps his upbringing was very strict. But even though he is extremely tired, Nangong Mingye still propped his upper body up and thanked.
“Ah, it's fine.”
That's too polite – Xue Qilin waved her hand.
Nangong Mingming once again expressed her grat.i.tude to Xue Qilin with her gaze.
Then, she gave the wine gourd to Nangong Mingye and told him to drink first. After he finished, she drank herself.
What a good big sister! Xue Qilin sighed secretly.
Nangong Mingming hesitated for a while, and then asked, “Senior Disciple Sister, isn't there a better way to go up?”
“Well…” Xue Qilin smiled wryly, “Yes, there is, but that way is a road for carriages, and makes a big detour.”
In order to drive carriages, the road must be fairly flat. This way, many things have to be sacrificed, such as distance.
“So ah…” The look of disappointment appeared on Nangong Mingming's face, and she glanced worriedly at her brother.
Is she worried that her brother can't bear the hards.h.i.+p of going up and down the mountain? Xue Qilin guessed.
In the next moment…
“Are you done yet?” Xia Xue standing aside with her arms crossed in front of her chest suddenly interrupted.
“It's not early anymore. Go register immediately. After that, you have to settle down.” She reminded.
“Yeah, okay.” Shui Yuner blinked her eyes and answered.
Then, she turned to Xue Qilin and uttered, “Thank you, Senior Disciple Sister, for accompanying us all the way here.”
“Why are you being so polite?” Xue Qilin rolled her eyes.
She has always disliked things like paying attention to manners. They can't be eaten, so to h.e.l.l with them!
“Well, in for a penny, in for a pound. I will take you there.”
“Do you know the way?”
Xia Xue snorted in response to Xue Qilin's show of goodwill.
“Uh…” The la.s.s's expression turned sluggish. She really doesn't know the way. After all, she has never been to the outer temple.
Seeing the awkward look on Xue Qilin's face, Shui Yuner has probably guessed the truth of the matter, and she said quickly, “It's fine, we'll find it ourselves.”
“I will take you there.” Xia Xue said suddenly.
The other party's proposal came really unexpected. Xue Qilin blinked her eyes, in a daze.
“What are you plotting!” After Xia Xue's words finally pieced together in her mind, Xue Qilin blurted out.
“What do you mean by plotting?” Xia Xue frowned, “That sounds really harsh. Can't I be happy to help others?”
Doesn't she think that she has insulted the words “happy to helpful”? Xue Qilin mused, an odd expression on her face.
“What's with that expression in your eyes? Are you thinking of something rude?” Noting the look of skepticism in the la.s.s's eyes, Xia Xue asked with a smile that isn't a smile.
“You're seeing things.” Xue Qilin shrugged her shoulders. Past experience tells her that Xia Xue is in no way better than Qi Qiqi.
“If you have no objections.” Appearing to have seen through everything, Xia Xue took a deep look at Xue Qilin, “Then let's go.”
Taking the lead, Xia Xue started walking, and Xue Qilin followed with a strange expression. Struggling to support their tired bodies, Shui Yuner and the Nangong siblings also followed.
“Yeah, that's right!” As if she suddenly remembered something, Xia Xue stopped in her steps and slapped her palms together. This sudden action startled Xue Qilin.
Xia Xue turned back and looked at Xue Qilin meaningfully, “Later, I have a surprise for you.”
“What surprise?” The la.s.s blinked.
“You will know later.” Having no intention to explain herself, Xia Xue turned around and continued walking.
Looking at Xia Xue's back, Xue Qilin somehow had an indescribable premonition, an anything but rea.s.suring premonition.
