Chapter 267: Chapter 159: The Horse-Riding Girl

Since Kuang Tianguang had already received the letter from Zhang Ashun, Jiang Shouzhong felt there was no need for further explanation. He simply briefed Long Xixin on the situation.

Long Xixin and Kuang Tianguang, having bonded over shared values in their early years, swore brotherhood to each other and ventured into Jianghu together. After more than twenty years of struggle and hardship, they had established the Longwu Escort Agency as their family business.

Though he hadn’t been closely acquainted with his sworn brother’s relatives in the Capital, he was by no means a stranger to them.

Upon learning that his friend’s family was in trouble, and that the young girl wished to come to him for refuge, Long Xixin immediately clapped his chest and said, "Rest assured, Jiang, since she is my sworn brother’s niece, she is as my own niece. I, Long, will do everything in my power to take good care of her, as if she were my own daughter."

Kuang Tianguang brought the girl before Long Xixin and introduced her, saying, "Que’er, this is your Uncle Long."

Zhang Que’er mimicked the adults and bowed slightly, politely greeting, "Que’er pays respects to Uncle Long."

Long Xixin laughed heartily, "Little Que’er, from now on, treat Longwu Escort Agency as your own home. Whatever you wish to eat, wear, or have, just ask Uncle Long. Even if it’s the stars in the sky, Uncle Long has the capability to pluck them down for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Long, for the inconvenience."

Zhang Que’er’s voice was clear and crisp.

Seeing how polite and well-mannered Zhang Que’er was at such a young age, Long Xixin couldn’t help but grow fond of her. When his gaze shifted to his own daughter nearby, however, a hint of worry and dissatisfaction flickered in his eyes.

Long Xixin concealed the clouds in his eyes and, with a smile, pointed to his daughter and introduced, "Little Que’er, this is my daughter, Long Yuanyuan. From now on, she will be your sister."

"Hello, Sister Yuan."

Zhang Que’er sweetly smiled.

"Hello."

Long Yuanyuan managed to force a slight smile and nodded in response, not daring to meet Zhang Que’er’s gaze throughout the exchange.

She was extremely nervous and anxious, with fear causing sweat to bead in her palms, the cool moisture palpable at her fingertips, afraid that the other girl might reveal her disgrace.

Fortunately, Zhang Que’er did not say too much, and Yuanyuan secretly sighed in relief.

Fu Huren wanted to speak up, but upon encountering the harsh, intimidating gaze of Long Yuanyuan, he too dared not utter a word.

"Little Que’er, your Sister Yuan is a female knight of no small cultivation. If anyone bullies you outside, just go to your Sister Yuan, and she will stand up for you."

Long Xixin joked.

While he was displeased with his daughter’s recent elopement, he felt genuine pride for her talents in cultivation.

Zhang Que’er’s eyes sparkled with admiration as she stared at Long Yuanyuan, "Really? Sister Yuan."

Faced with the girl’s innocent yet subtly mocking gaze, Long Yuanyuan’s face felt like it was burning up, as if countless tiny needles were gently pricking her skin, forcing her to conjure an ugly smile in a perfunctory response.

Long Xixin pointed to a young man behind him and laughed, "Little Que’er, this is my good-for-nothing son, Long Liangcai. From now on, he will be your brother. Although this rascal is always up to no good, if you want to know about fun places, this scoundrel is quite knowledgeable. If you ever want to go out, just ask your brother."

"Hello, Brother Liangcai."

Zhang Que’er politely greeted.

The young man, slick and dandy, had his eyes glued to the young girl ever since he first saw her, never wavering.

Now, seeing the girl greet him, he quickly put on a graceful demeanor, smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Que’er. Once we reach Yucheng, I will take you to Mengting Garden to admire the sea of flowers. The scenery there is uniquely beautiful and incomparable to any earthly paradise."

"Sure!"

Zhang Que’er nodded happily.

Her smile blossomed like spring flowers, enchanting Mr. Long’s soul almost immediately.

Seeing his son’s infatuated look, Long Xixin showed a helpless expression. Just as he was about to speak a few words to Jiang Shou, his cheeks suddenly flushed a deep red.

He hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, coughing violently, his expression one of pain.

"Big brother..."

Kuang Tianguang’s expression changed and he moved to step forward, but was stopped by a gesture from Long Xixin.

Long Yuanyuan showed concern.

Long, accustomed to his father’s condition, continued to gaze at Zhang Que’er, showing indifference toward his father.

After a while, Long Xixin managed to stop coughing, but the handkerchief revealed a frightening trace of blood.

Looking somewhat pale, Long Xixin apologized to Jiang Shou with a smile, "Old ailment, my apologies for making you see such a state, Jiang."

Long Xixin paused, then said:

"Jiang, you’ve come a long way escorting Que’er, surely a tiresome journey. If you’re not pressed by other urgent matters, consider staying a few days at Longwu Escort Agency. I’ll make sure to extend the utmost hospitality."

Jiang Shou declined, "No, I have urgent matters to attend to. When I have time in the future, I’ll visit Longwu Escort Agency."

Now that he had met with Que’er’s uncle, Jiang Shou felt no need to go to Yucheng, saving him a lot of time.

However, he hadn’t expected this moment of departation to arrive so suddenly.

But such separations in the world are inherently unpredictable—whether a permanent parting or a temporary farewell. We often think we have more time together, yet it arrives subtly, catching us off-guard.

At this moment, the one most heartbroken was surely Er Liang.

Among the women close to Jiang Shou, only Zhang Que’er shared her age. Although her nature was secluded, in the depths of Er Liang’s heart, she had long regarded Zhang Que’er as a sister.

Their journey of meticulous care deepened their affection to the extent that at night, Er Liang had gotten used to curling up in the warm embrace of her sister, sleeping soundly.
