The 4th Trial (4)

Two hours had passed for the trial;

Lu Qingyun had now found another Golden Twig and he was saying to Ling Xiu, "Sister Ling Xiu, this is for you."

Ling Xiu took the Golden Twig with utmost care as her bright eyes looked at Lu Qingyun, "Brother Qingyun, without your aid I will never be able to find it myself. I really don't know how I should repay you for your kindness. I keep troubling you. Ling Xiu feels that it is so unfair to you. You must be feeling very tired now."

Lu Qingyun smiled awkwardly, "You are half the sister to me. So naturally I should take care of you. Moreover, this is actually nothing to me. Look at me, do I look tired? I am still as fresh as ever."

Ling Xiu nodded shyly as she averted her eyes, "Thank you for your kind words. I will never forget the kindness that you've displayed in the trials for me."
