Chapter 641: Secretly Sending Affection
Since Zhang Sanfeng had already spoken about hurrying on the journey, the group naturally did not dare delay. Although they didn’t travel day and night, they wasted little time. Because they were already close to the Golden Serpent Camp’s territory, it only took a few days for them to reach Jining, where the camp was currently based.
“I wonder if Ah Qing and Ah Jiu will be able to handle the situation,” Song Qingshu muttered to himself while gazing at Jining’s city gates in the distance. Deep down, he was reluctant to reveal his true identity to Zhang Sanfeng. His feelings toward Wudang were rather complex and conflicted.
A loud creaking sound broke the silence as the city gates of Jining slowly opened. A procession emerged, heading directly toward them.
The Golden Serpent Camp had already received word of Zhang Sanfeng’s arrival. Everyone was deeply astonished, with Xia Qingqing and Ah Jiu personally leading a group to welcome him at the gates.
Song Qingshu took one glance at Ah Jiu, who was dressed in women’s attire, and immediately realized that Xia Qingqing was impersonating him today. Though it had been a while since they last met, the two women were as graceful as ever. However, a faint trace of fatigue lingered between their brows, making Song Qingshu’s heart ache. He thought to himself, ‘I’ve been carefree as a hands-off leader, while they’ve borne the burden of managing everything in the Golden Serpent Camp. They’ve had it tough.’
This thought reminded him of the African savanna from his previous life. Male lions spent their days doing nothing but mating and fighting, leaving hunting and other responsibilities to the lionesses. Hmm… the more he thought about it, the more relatable it seemed.
“Grand…Grandmaster, why are you here?” Xia Qingqing led the group forward and imitated Song Qingshu’s tone as she spoke.
Zhang Sanfeng gave the ‘Song Qingshu’ in front of him a puzzled glance but still answered, “I have some matters to investigate.”
“Grandmaster Zhang has traveled a long way. Please, come into the city,” Ah Jiu said softly with a bow.
