Not long after, Xiao Qingyu arrived as promised.
"Senior Sister Xiao!"
"Good day, Senior Sister Xiao!"
The moment she appeared, the buzz and chatter in the area quieted down significantly.
Wang Xiu greeted her with a smile. "Senior Sister Xiao, you finally made it. I was beginning to think you'd backed out!"
Xiao Qingyu shot him an eye-roll. "Am I the kind of person who goes back on her word?"
Today, Xiao Qingyu was dressed differently. Her style was a far cry from the stern one she wore in the Task Hall. She had on a snow-white gown that neatly cinched her slim waist, and her long, flawless legs could be glimpsed through the fabric. Her shoulder-length hair was tied into a ponytail that swayed with every move. She seemed less authoritative and aloof, replaced by a youthful vigor and girlish vitality. Even the eye-rolls, which usually seemed merely alluring, now sparkled with a certain brightness.
