Hearing footfalls, Luo Feng turned to see a young woman in the shadow of the trees. She was dressed in a plain long skirt, standing tall and graceful, with an elegance that set her apart.
"Ruolan."
Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.
"Luo Feng, I'm heading back first. Thank you for practicing with me."
He Qin, upon seeing Bing Ruolan, sheathed her sword and turned to walk towards the Duanmu Family's residence.
As she passed Bing Ruolan, He Qin nodded at her. For a fleeting moment, a hint of envy flashed in her bright eyes.
Watching He Qin leave, Luo Feng approached Bing Ruolan and asked, "Ruolan, why aren't you resting? What brings you here?"
Bing Ruolan gently bit her red lip, looking in the direction He Qin had departed, and said in a low voice, "I wanted to take a walk. I heard some noise and came over to see."
She wasn't telling the truth. She hadn't seen Luo Feng at the Duanmu Family's residence and, worried something might have happened, had come looking for him.
