Chapter 564 - 547 Heng Mountain
After hiking for over two hours, Lu Jiaxin flopped onto the ground with a whoop. At home, she’d never sit in the backyard pavilion without laying down a clean cushion, yet on the mountain, she wasn’t picky at all.
Seeing how Yan Yijun and Miao Na, among others, remained composed, Lu Jiaxin envied them and said, "I’ve been exercising more recently and it’s still not enough, I wonder when I’ll have the stamina that you guys have."
Miao Na pursed her lips and chuckled, "Boss, you can stop dreaming about that. Just like we’ll never be as rich as you in this lifetime."
Yan Yijun reassured her, "Boss, you’re already doing amazing."
Lu Jiaxin didn’t continue the conversation but instead leaned against a tree and squinted for a short while, resting for about ten minutes before continuing to climb. Half an hour later, she saw an old man and a young boy, with the elder one sharing knowledge with the younger.
The older man said, "Our Heng Mountain is known as ’The First Mountain North of Sai,’ stretching over five hundred miles with one hundred and eight peaks. The main peak, Daily Peak Ridge, stands at 2016 meters high and is called the ’Northern Pillar of Heaven and Man.’"
Before coming here, Lu Jiaxin had read about Heng Mountain, she knew what the elder was talking about, but listening to his explanations while climbing the mountain had a different charm.
Seeing her pace slow down, Miao Na also slowed her steps.
Soon the old man noticed Lu Jiaxin was listening to his explanation and said with a smile, "Young lady, it’s Wednesday today; why aren’t you in school and instead climbing mountains?"
With a smile, Lu Jiaxin replied, "I’ve already graduated from university, and I’m taking advantage of the holiday to explore. Sir, are you a teacher?"
