Zhao Liangde began to sing the praises of his eldest disciple, causing Fang Qingyuan, who was listening nearby, to chuckle inwardly. 'He's trying to play matchmaker. I wonder if that senior brother of his can withstand Situ Jingyu's fists.'
Situ Jingyu grew increasingly awkward as she listened. She glanced at Fang Qingyuan and then offered an excuse.
"I've been asked by Junior Brother Fang Qingyuan to go to Yuanling Mountain and take care of a few things. I won't be able to stay on Celestial Gate Mountain for more than a few days."
Hearing this, Zhao Liangde finally said:
"I see. Since Qingyuan asked you, then by all means, go. Just don't tell your master I was a poor host when you get back to your sect."
Situ Jingyu quickly assured him she would do no such thing. With that settled, Zhao Liangde had someone escort Situ Jingyu and Jinbao away to enjoy a fine meal, while he turned to Fang Qingyuan.
"Alright, now that we're alone, what is it you need from me this time?"
