Chapter 525 (3): High-Five
In a premium courtyard at Kingfisher Inn...
Peace and tranquility returned following the tense standoff.
The lotus flowers were fragrant, and the lotus leaves swayed.
Chen Ping'an and Qi Jinglong sat on a long bench together, while Sui Jingcheng sat by herself on a chair beside them.
"Congratulations on advancing to the third tier," Qi Jinglong said.
Chen Ping'an nodded in acknowledgement.
Sui Jingcheng's eyes lit up.
Only the third tier?
She stood up and walked over to squat in front of the lotus pond, plucking another lotus leaf before returning to her seat.
Chen Ping'an and Qi Jinglong both fell silent and quietly gazed at the lotus pond.
"Is that pair of mandarin ducks bred by the Spring Dew Garden?" Chen Ping'an suddenly asked.
Qi Jinglong was in no hurry to answer, and he leaned forward slightly and took a glance at Sui Jingcheng.
