Chapter 247: Master Luoxue, you really are unreserved

"The heart is naturally void, responding to things without leaving traces; with deliberate action comes essence, but to observe it is to disturb it. Obstacles placed in front obstruct, but at their core, they are circuitous..."

In the simple and tranquil courtyard, bathed in gentle moonlight,

white paper lanterns dangled from the eaves, swaying in the wind, casting dappled light and shadow.

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, chanting an article from "Reflections on Things at Hand," his voice resonant, blending with the quiet of the night,

while Dugu Luoxue sat below the lantern, holding a silver needle, thread lightly winding through her fingers, sewing clothes. The occasional prick of the needle left a faint red mark on her fingertip, but it never once distracted her.

From time to time, she looked up, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, contemplating the next stitch.

The garment in her hands was men's clothing.
