Qin Baoqi confidently left Shengkai Hall with her secret arrangements. She made her way to Zhuqin's room. Xuanzhu Hall had been expanded throughout the years and as the Jin mistress entered the corridor entrance, she heard a faint ghostly melody. With her door opened, the mistress smiled and entered Zhuqin's room.
Although she was strumming her melody, the Jin maiden gently placed her fingers on the strings to stop the sound from vibrating. She looked back at her mother. Without being frantic about whether she could go or not, Zhuqin cheerfully smiled.
Qin Baoqi grinned and gestured for her daughter to stand.
"That is right," The mother began confidently. "Your father agreed to let you study in Cloud Recess. What else can go wrong if I am the one asking your father?"
Zhuqin felt relieved and began to plan of what to bring during her stay.
However, Qin Baoqi had an additional place she wanted to go. The Jin mistress needed to make her quick arrangements before Zhuqin went to Cloud Recesses.
...Yunmeng...
Arriving back at Lotus Pier, Zhuqin, Jin Zixuan and Qin Baoqi were warmly welcomed by the residents and most important of all, the Jiang family. But, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Wanyin had gone out early that day. To her disappointment and patience, Zhuqin was not able to meet them first when she was excited to reunite with them after four years apart.
Finding comfort and as if she was at home, Zhuqin curiously ran off when her mother and Jin Zixuan went inside the Jiang residence. The young maiden knew all the places Wei Wuxian and Jiang Wanyin could be in. She took her chances to surprise them.
Or at least one of them.
As she walked around, she heard the laughter's of the Yunmeng disciples in the training field. She had thought that since it had been four years, there certainly ought to be more disciples. Zhuqin chuckled and when she walked in through the main gates, her appearance and the sound of her Yunmeng bells caught their attention.
A few disciples began to murmur to one another, "Who...is that?" "Who is she?"
"Yellow clothes? Could she be from the Jin sect?"
"A girl though...?"
"Is she a servant of the Jin family?"
"There is no way she is just a servant."
"Well just look at her clothes. Rich in golden details, white peonies, and her hair is decorated with accessories. Besides, that vermillion dot on her forehead proves she is a direct member of the Jin family."
"Oh! I heard that other than that Jin Zixuan, Jin Guangshan also has a daughter, could she be his daughter?"
"Is it not obvious?"
"Haha!"
"Hey, remember Da shixiong (Senior brother) said that Jiang zong zhu took in a young girl as his disciple seven years ago? Is she..."
The disciples all uttered together and paid attention to Zhuqin's bell twinkling by her side. Along with the sound of the bell, Wei Wuxian's crimson ribbon danced along the side of her hip.
She did not feel the least awkward with the disciples staring at her as she proudly walked into the field. The young maiden observed most of the disciples of Yunmeng to be young boys around her age and she was obviously looking for two specific boys.
