บท 110: Perfect Match

Bai Ye heard my approach first and looked up. Su Nian turned around next, just as my flying sword touched the ground.

She was more beautiful than I expected. Her appearance was in her mid-twenties like Bai Ye told me, but that said nothing about her ageless charm. Her figure was slim and graceful, her features impeccable, and while I barely reached Bai Ye's shoulders, she was eye level with his chin. There was a certain air about her that matched his as well … cool and collected, sharp as a sword.

They couldn't look more perfect standing next to each other.

A dull pain stabbed my heart. No matter how much I trusted Bai Ye's feelings for me, I couldn't change the fact that I would always be the plain, drab sight I was. I could never make such a flawless image alongside him.

"Master." I offered a formal greeting to announce my return, hiding my thoughts as I buried my face in a low bow.
