It was evident from their urgent return that this was the first time Zhu Yu saw Lu Qing with a scruffy beard.
Admittedly, it looked quite good, adding a touch of ruggedness.
Lu Qing had already noticed the broken blade on the ground and saw the torn clothes, but he wasn't too worried about Zhu Yu getting hurt. Instead, he inspected her thoroughly from head to toe, ensuring she was unharmed, before quietly sighing in relief.
"Madam, your skills earlier were quite impressive." The coldness in his eyes quickly dissipated, replaced by warmth and a hint of a smile as he spoke to Zhu Yu, "That move of mounting the horse, I only demonstrated it once before, but who knew Madam would not only remember it so well but also use it so beautifully."
"No surprise, those close to you become tough." Zhu Yu noticed that aside from the stubble, Lu Qing seemed fine, and nothing dangerous she feared had happened, which made her feel a lot better, thus she teased him back.
