“Well, it’s not bad, but I still think...”
Before she had finished speaking, Ye Jing walked over towards her with a look of shock on her face, her head tilted to one side staring at Old White like he was a playboy.
“Feng Jiu, what’s up with Old White?” When she got to Feng Jiu, she noticed there was a man next to her. She looked down and smiled.
“Ye Jing, you’re here. Just in time. Come, sit down.” Feng Jiu reached out and pulled her down to the grass and introduced the two of them with a smile: “Ye Jing, this is my older brother Guan Xilin. Elder brother, this is my friend Ye Jing, the beauty of the academy.”
Guan Xilin nodded in acknowledgment and smiled: “Very pleased to meet you.”
Ye Jing was a little startled, and as she stared at the young man stood in front of her, her heart skipped a beat and her face flushed red. She had to calm her nerves before she could speak: “Feng Jiu speaks about you all the time, it’s a surprise meeting you today.”
“Yes, you aren’t what I expected.” She looked down as she replied and chuckled in nervousness.
She was surprised because she had thought that Feng Jiu’s brother would be a mild mannered gentleman, and not a strong manly man. Even though it was the first time she had met him, but she felt an indescribable curiosity towards him.
Feng Jiu looked at the two of them with a smile on her face and stood up: “Well, I’ve only just got out of bed and not washed myself! Carry on chatting and I will catch up with you later.” She took Old White with so the both of them wouldn’t be disturbed.
When Ye Jing saw her leave, she couldn’t help but feel nervous again. She remembered the last time Feng Jiu mentioned she would introduce her to her brother, and she hadn’t known what she would say to him. Now she was alone with him, she was overwhelmed by the situation.
Guan Xilin was surprised when he saw her nervousness. He touched his chin as he asked with uncertainty: “I shaved before I came out, do I still look scary?”
“Huh? No, no.” She looked up startled, and looked away in panic as she met his smile.
Although Guan Xilin found it surprising, but he did not let it bother him. He asked: “Are you a citizen from Green Gallop Country? Or are you from another country?”
As they talked, Ye Jing gradually regained her usual calm and demure composure. She observed that Guan Xilin was very knowledgeable. She listened to him talk about him leading a group of army practising drills, and the conversation between them flowed freely.
As Feng Jiu observed them from her cave dwelling, she couldn’t help but smile. She knew it, they were a perfect match.
Since they were chatting, she would come back out after she had changed. She yawned as she entered her bedroom to rest....
It was nearly noon when the two of them realised that Feng Jiu had been gone for a long time. Guan Xilin smiled as he stood up and said to Ye Jing: “Ye Jing, you wait here while I go to get Feng Jiu, and then we will go to the mountain to eat grilled fish together.”
“Okay.” She nodded and watched as he walked towards the cave dwelling.
In about the time of half an incense, a freshly dressed Feng Jiu walked out with Guan Xilin. She was bursting with excitement at the thought of catching fish, her face showed no sign of sleepiness.
“Why have I never thought of catching fish to eat? We will have a feast today!” She said excitedly and called Old White, Little Black and the Cloud Devouring to follow them. The humans and three beasts walked towards back path of Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
