Chapter 765 Change in sight

Ma Yuan couldn't hide the joy on his face when he heard Ma Ling's response as he grinned ear to ear, with the rims of his eyes reddening with emotion.

Yang Qing went ahead and introduced Ma Yuan and Ma Ling to Dai Chen and Zhang Qingge.

"Ma Yuan, if you have the time, would you mind helping my friend Qingge with her place? You can even bring Ma Ling there to help you with it if you want. It's not a problem, is it, Qingge?"

"Mmh, it's not.." answered Zhang Qingge mumbling her words in a low tone when she became the center of attention.

"So pretty.." Ma Ling absentmindedly muttered before she heard herself talk and couldn't help but yelp when she realized she had spoken her thoughts out loud.

"S.s.sorrry.." she meekly said as she cast a furtive glance at Zhang Qingge. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw her smiling.

As shy as Zhang Qingge was toward receiving attention, she only reacted excessively to attention that was directed with impure motives, however, when the reaction was similar to the one Ma Ling had, she warmed up to it and even grew slightly confident when the person was more flustered than she was. It usually gave her an odd sense of comfort, and little by little she gets used to them.

"Treat her like you would your daughter, Ma Yuan. Don't be as stiff. Even if she is a palace realm expert, you are her senior several times over, me too, and she becomes uncomfortable when people older than her treat her like a senior.."

After they were done, Yang Qing took out a few dishes from his storage ring which he left with Ma Yuan to share with his daughter. He would have liked for all of them to share the meal together, but Ma Yuan needed the time with his daughter which was easier done when there was less of a crowd. Nodding appreciatively toward Yang Qing, Ma Yuan continued the grand tour with Ma Ling, while Yang Qing and the rest headed to the back of his courtyard.

"So where have you been?" asked Dai Chen as he arranged a few of the futons moving them closer to a fire pit, where he briskly started a fire with a snap of his finger.

Yang Qing removed the dishes he had ordered from the restaurant, along with a wine jar that he was hesitant about producing, warily glancing at Dai Chen, before finally shrugging his shoulders, as if to say, "Whatever happens happens.."

Dai Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he looked curiously at the wine jar, alternating a questioning gaze between the jar and Yang Qing on noticing his strange reaction. Zhang Qingge had already started nibbling on some of the dishes with a gleeful expression.

Yang Qing pulled a futon next to the fire Dai Chen had started, he picked up a branch that was lying next to him and poked the fire creating sparks that floated above the colorful azure flame.

"I was at the library..." Yang Qing said with a heavy tone, which prompted his two companions to look at him with incredulous gazes as his reaction was completely opposite to how he usually was like whenever he left the library.

"I was on the low-tier gold floor.." Yang Qing added after a pause.

"Dai, Qingge, have you ever felt that the world is hiding something from you? Some massive secret that only a select few no, while the rest live either oblivious of its existence, or just go off the nagging feeling that something is not right here..'New novel chapters are published on
