The Sorrowmender

PAID Chapter 128

"Hiss—"

A gust of summer mountain wind rushed into his lungs, waking Xu Qingzhou up completely, his body tensing involuntarily.

Staring at the young lady in front of him, her bright eyes full of spirited light, he was moved.

A sense of inexplicable achievement welled up inside him.

Whether or not one is an immortal, it truly doesn't matter; it's just an empty title.

But being admired like this, that's important, especially by such a beautiful young lady.

"Ahem— Not only is the young lady beautiful, but she also has good taste," he said earnestly.

However, his tone shifted as he gazed at the young lady, half-smiling:

"But I, Xu, am a scholar. As the saints say, do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper, do not speculate improperly. To harbor private thoughts and guess others' intentions is impolite. Even if I were an immortal, it would be an offense. So, whatever worries the young lady has, please speak them yourself."

Hearing this, the young lady seemed thoughtful, then smiled, as radiant as mountain flowers blooming from spring to midsummer.

"Mister is truly interesting, and your words are so eloquent. Hehe, I won't tease you anymore."

The heat in her eyes dissipated, replaced by a touch of clarity that fell into Xu Qingzhou's eyes.

Xu Qingzhou was quite certain that he had been played by this girl, which brought a hint of annoyance to his brow.

He urged, "Then hurry and speak, I should be taking my midday rest soon."

The young lady straightened her posture, her chest puffing out slightly, becoming more serious, yet her eyes remained like two crescent moons:

"Mister, don't be hasty. As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Since you are a scholar who values etiquette, I seek your help to relieve my worries. Coming empty-handed would make me seem inconsiderate."

"So, before I speak, I want to give you a gift."

Xu Qingzhou wrinkled his nose, curious, "A gift?"
