Chapter 252: The Half-Ruined Tower
“Big Brother.”
The knight in dark-silver armor stopped.
The black-haired girl, who had called out to the armored figure, approached ‘him’ with light steps before coming to a stop at his back. Reaching out with her pale hand, she gently rearranged the long tassel resting on ‘his’ shoulders.
“Remember to mind your appearance in public.” Her voice, gentle and soft like flowing water, enveloped ‘him’ like a spring breeze.
“Mhm.” The knight grunted, turning around with a curt nod and a stiff, formal salute before briskly departing.
Watching ‘his’ figure recede into the distance, a cryptic smile revealed itself on Ji Yue’s face, which vanished as quickly as it came.
