He looked up from the scroll he was holding and set it down on the table. "Sect leader Jin, what a pleasant surprise to see you here of all places."
Jin Guangyao approached with a serene pace and stopped in the middle of the grand room.
“Sect leader Jiang.” He bowed in a graceful move, cupping his hands and humbly lowering his eyes. “I thought I should inform you about the whereabout of our nephew.”
He straightened up and gave the other man one of his smiles.
“Jin Ling came to me and seems he did something that unfortunately upset you, again. I came to assure you he is safe in Lanling.”
His hands joined in his back as he stepped a bit closer to the table. “I don’t know what he did this time, but I beg you to be lenient with him. We both know this period is not an easy one for him. Or for you.” As he spoke, his eyes slid over the table, catching sight of what was leaning on it. The dark amber gaze then lasted over Jiang Cheng through the line of long lashes.
If it was a hard period for Jin Ling, it might be just as hard for Sect leader Jiang.
After all, it was Jiang Cheng’s sister's death anniversary.
