Chapter 218: Probing
Chen Qing walked toward his small courtyard. The twilight gradually deepened, and the peaks of Xuwang Mountain successively lit up with lamps, like stars adorning the ink-dark mountain ranges.
At this moment, at the bend in the path ahead, a slender figure stood quietly, seemingly having waited for a while.
The person wore the most common moon-white training outfit of Tianbao Upper Sect's outer sect disciples.
Her long hair was still neatly bound up as in the past, secured only with an ordinary wooden hairpin, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck.
After several months of not seeing her, she seemed to have lost some weight, her profile more defined, but those eyes remained clear and limpid as before.
"Senior Sister Nie?"
Chen Qing was somewhat surprised and slowed his pace, "Are you here looking for me?"
Hearing his voice, Nie Shanshan turned her head. Seeing Chen Qing, her eyes suddenly brightened like rippling water, but then quickly restrained herself.
She nodded, her voice softer than usual, "I... was passing by and came to see you, and also Master Uncle Shen."
