Hearing footsteps entering the secret chamber, she jerked her head up. When she saw someone else following behind Yu Xiaoyan, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the Magical Treasure in her hand.
However, when her gaze fell upon that familiar figure, Lu Ruoxi's pupils quivered. Her red lips parted slightly, but she couldn't immediately make a sound.
"Junior... Junior Brother Pei..."
Her voice was so soft it was almost broken, the end of her words carrying a disbelieving tremble.
Lu Ruoxi had longed for countless days and nights to be reunited with the handsome, white-robed figure before her. Yet, now that she truly saw him standing in front of her, she felt as if she were in a dream.
The tear that had been welling in the corner of her eye finally gave way, sliding silently down her cheek and spreading into a dark spot on her collar.
"Senior Sister, it's me... I'm sorry for making you worry."
