They smiled, watching Longlong and his family, their hearts filled with warmth.
"Thank you, if it weren't for you, we don't know when we would have found Longlong," Longlong's father said gratefully.
Pei Xijun smiled and said, "You're welcome, this is what we should do. In the future, you must keep a close eye on Longlong and not let him run out alone again."
Longlong's family nodded repeatedly, thanking them once more.
Just as they were about to leave, Longlong suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Big sister, you are so kind and beautiful. Thank you! When I grow up, I'm going to marry you."
She burst into laughter at Longlong's words, while Lu Lingfeng looked at Longlong with an incredulous expression.
She smiled and said to Longlong, "Longlong, you're still young. When you grow up, you'll meet many beautiful big sisters."
But Longlong stubbornly said, "No, I only like you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingfeng pulled her to his side and said to Longlong, "She's mine, you can't marry her."
Longlong looked at Lu Lingfeng, a hint of defiance in his eyes.
Just then.
Longlong's parents came over to thank them before pulling Longlong away.
Longlong kept looking back at her, saying repeatedly, "Big sister, when I grow up…"
Seeing Longlong's adorable appearance, both she and Lu Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Lingfeng teased her, "It seems I have quite a few competitors."
She smiled and playfully hit Lu Lingfeng, saying, "What are you thinking? You're taking a child's words seriously."
Lu Lingfeng, however, said earnestly, "No matter who it is, no one can take you away from me."
…
Bai Chenxiang's eyes were full of smiles after hearing Pei Xijun recount this amusing anecdote.
She gently covered her mouth with her hand and laughed out loud: "Haha, this child is really interesting."
A hint of tenderness appeared in her gaze as she looked at Pei Xijun and said, "Xijun sister, I didn't expect you to have such an interesting experience on a date. That child is so persistent and adorable."
Bai Chenxiang tilted her head slightly, saying thoughtfully, "Lu Lingfeng is so anxious about you, it shows how deeply he loves you."
A trace of envy flashed in her eyes.
"Your relationship truly makes one envious."
Pei Xijun saw the envy in Bai Chenxiang's eyes, and a gentle pity welled up in her heart.
She gently held Bai Chenxiang's hand and said softly, "Xiang'er, what is there to envy about us? Your feelings with Zhuge Lan are even deeper."
Bai Chenxiang lowered her gaze slightly, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes: "Xijun sister, Zhuge Lan… I don't know when he will return. My heart misses him so much, but I don't know what to do."
Bai Chenxiang said with a slight catch in her voice.
Pei Xijun gently patted the back of Bai Chenxiang's hand, comforting her: "Xiang'er, don't worry. Zhuge Lan only had important matters to attend to, which is why he had to leave you temporarily. Everyone can see his affection for you; we all see it. He will surely return soon to be with you."
Bai Chenxiang sighed softly: "I hope so. I'm just worried that he might encounter danger outside. After all, he has to face the powerful Spirit Hall alone."
Pei Xijun gently embraced Bai Chenxiang, smiling as she said, "Xiang'er, you must believe in Zhuge Lan's abilities. He will surely turn danger into safety and return unharmed. Think about it, you two have been through so many ups and downs together; when has he ever disappointed you?"
After hearing Pei Xijun's words, Bai Chenxiang felt a little more at ease. She nodded slightly: "Xijun sister is right, Zhuge Lan has always been very capable. I should trust him."
Pei Xijun continued, "Moreover, you can't always be immersed in longing and worry. You can do things you enjoy to enrich your life. When Zhuge Lan returns and sees how wonderfully you've lived, he will surely be very happy."
Bai Chenxiang said thoughtfully, "Xijun sister is right. I can't keep being so passive. I can continue to cultivate my spirit power, help the family rebuild, and preside over this Limit Challenge Competition. When Zhuge Lan returns, I'll give him a surprise."
Approval showed in Pei Xijun's eyes:
"That's right. You have to believe that your feelings can stand the test of time. Zhuge Lan's departure is only temporary; he will definitely return to your side."
A determined smile appeared on Bai Chenxiang's face: "Xijun sister, thank you. I feel much better now."
The two chatted about other topics, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed. Just then, the courtyard gate was knocked on again.
The two looked at each other, and Bai Chenxiang was the first to ask, "Who is it?"
A clansman's voice came from outside the door: "Young Sect Master, the finals are about to begin tomorrow. We need to go to the square to announce the rules of the competition soon."
Bai Chenxiang slowly looked up, gazing at the sun in the sky.
She squinted her eyes slightly, carefully judging the time, and realized it was indeed about time to head to the square.
Then, she replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."
After speaking, Bai Chenxiang turned to Pei Xijun and said, "Let's go, Xijun sister, let's go to the square together. You can be a participant in the finals."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xijun's face showed a smile, and she responded, "Okay, but are you going to announce Zhuge Lan's departure later? Because Tang San will definitely be in the square listening to the competition rules."
Bai Chenxiang thought for a while, then clenched her fists slightly and said, "Say it! This is a good opportunity."
Her gaze showed determination.
Pei Xijun stood up and patted Bai Chenxiang's shoulder: "Don't worry, we're here! Lu Lingfeng will also be there later, so I believe Tang San won't be able to cause any major trouble."
Bai Chenxiang nodded, picked up the ball from the table, and put it in her sleeve: "Let's go."
The two walked side by side towards the square.
Along the way, the two attracted the attention of countless clansmen.
Bai Chenxiang wore a pure white Speed Clan battle suit, with a fitted short-sleeved top that clung to her skin, perfectly revealing her curvaceous figure.
As for Pei Xijun, she wore a light blue long dress, its hem fluttering in the wind as she walked, yet it could not conceal her stunning long legs.
The two, who ranked among the top beauties in the Speed Clan.
At this moment, they were walking together on the road, such a beautiful sight was not common…
It made the eyes of the passersby stare straight ahead.
A male clansman who was fetching water was staring blankly at Bai Chenxiang and the other, completely unaware that the water was overflowing.
His female companion next to him quickly interrupted him: "Hey, hey, what are you looking at? The water's overflowing!"
The male clansman finally came back to his senses, giving an embarrassed chuckle.
His female companion rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully, "Look at how unpromising you are. It's just two beauties, what's so great to look at."
"If you were even one-tenth as good-looking as one of them, I would never look at them!"
