The three lineages held a social gathering every few years. These events lasted anywhere from seven days to half a month.
The three lineages would take turns hosting.
This time, it would last for ten days.
Zhu Ju had little interest in the gathering, but as a member of the host lineage, he was forced to entertain the guests properly.
"Senior Brother Zhu."
The next day, Qu Hongxiao came to visit.
"Thank you for helping me arrange a place to stay, and for drawing me a picture. I made some pastries for you."
"There's no need to be so formal, Junior Sister." Although his Cultivation had been interrupted, Zhu Ju could only pretend it was nothing and greet her.
"Come in and sit."
"Okay." Qu Hongxiao, seemingly oblivious to the concept of politeness, handed him the pastries and strode into the courtyard.
"Senior Brother, your courtyard is a mess!"
"..." Zhu Ju gave a dry laugh.
"I live alone, so it's true I don't tidy up much."
"Oh!" Qu Hongxiao nodded.
