"Lately, in the evenings, our leader has been leaving. I think she must be going to find Di Beichen. Otherwise, knowing her diligent nature, she would spend day and night cultivating in meditation," Xia Zhiqing chuckled. Having spent so much time with their leader, she had a good understanding of her personality. It seemed that Di Beichen's presence had a significant influence on their leader.
Recalling the day when they went to collect cultivation resources, Bai Junyu couldn't help but think about how the Young Master of the Sect had specifically sought out Baili Hongzhuang. Although they had only been apart for a short time, the Young Master had already made a special effort to find her. This alone showed how much he cared about Baili Hongzhuang.
"The affection between the Young Master and Hongzhuang is truly enviable. It's rare to see such a strong bond between two individuals in this world," Bai Junyu remarked. The thought crossed his mind, and he couldn't help but glance at Xia Zhiqing. What about them?
Noticing Bai Junyu's gaze, Xia Zhiqing paused for a moment, immediately forming a conjecture in her mind. However, Bai Junyu ultimately chose not to say anything, and Xia Zhiqing followed suit, not pressing the matter further.
Just then, a man appeared in front of Xia Zhiqing, his handsome face adorned with a polite smile. "Junior Sister Xia, I'm Ji Wenshu. I would like to be friends with you. What do you think, Junior Sister Xia?"
The sudden voice surprised Xia Zhiqing, and her eyes widened as she quickly stood up. However, as she looked at the man's appearance, her expression involuntarily changed, and she became somewhat dazed.
This man in front of her was not unfamiliar. He was the same man they had encountered on their way to collect cultivation resources a few days ago. She had glanced at him back then, but she never expected him to appear before her now.
"Senior Brother Ji," Xia Zhiqing greeted with a bow, her expression showing a hint of astonishment and shyness. This shyness wasn't because she liked Ji Wenshu, but rather because she recalled his words from that day, which made her feel a bit embarrassed. After all, at that time, Ji Wenshu had openly expressed his fondness for her.
Bai Junyu's gaze also fell on Ji Wenshu, remembering the words he had heard him say that day. He had made a mental note of Ji Wenshu since then but didn't think much of it when he didn't see him afterwards. Unexpectedly, Ji Wenshu took the initiative to approach Xia Zhiqing today, and a sense of threat surged within Bai Junyu.
Xia Zhiqing's beauty had always been outstanding, so it was only natural for a man to be interested in her. Ji Wenshu's appearance was equally impressive, and his strength was probably a few notches higher than Bai Junyu's. His courteous demeanor didn't give any reason to dislike him.
Ji Wenshu didn't miss the slight blush on Xia Zhiqing's face, and his eyes brightened. Ever since he first saw Xia Zhiqing, he had felt that she was his target. However, he had been contemplating how to approach her without being too abrupt or making her feel uncomfortable. During this period, while practicing in the meditation hall, he had noticed Xia Zhiqing's dedication to cultivation, further reinforcing his belief that she was a good girl.
