712 Leaving the deer mountain range (2)

After finishing emptying the wine from his cup, Yang Qing sensed something that prompted him to look to his left where he saw Ye Xun standing like a solitary beauty as she raised her wine cup toward him with a smile that he never thought he would ever have the chance of seeing due to her stoic nature.

Her smile surprisingly wasn't that bad for someone who didn't like to show much emotion on her face. She was already a golden beauty even when wearing her stoic demeanor, and now smiling, though it was a small one elevated that beauty even further.

Yang Qing nodded toward her in gratitude for showing up but also for the help she had provided while he was still within the range. He knew throughout their stay here, despite her not showing herself a lot, she had been monitoring and watching over them, especially when they were outside, which was why she had been alarmed when she couldn't sense Yang Qing the time the mysterious middle-aged man appeared.
