Qiao Xuan admired Qiao Kou's adaptability. Despite being slapped in the face by Qiao Wei, once she had recovered, she still willingly played the role of lackey, henchman, lapdog…
The temple was rather small, with no scenic view at the back of the mountain. Qiao Xuan simply passed the time under the eaves of the hall.
Coincidentally, County Magistrate Yang appeared at the other end of the long corridor. Spotting Qiao Xuan beneath the eaves, County Magistrate Yang hesitated for a moment before walking towards her.
Qiao Xuan seemed to sense something and looked up, locking eyes with him.
After contemplating for a moment, Qiao Xuan descended the steps and stood in the empty space in front of the hall, beckoning a passing young monk.
"Officer Yang, are you seeking me out?" she asked.
County Magistrate Yang was taken aback, forcing a smile. "I have a few words to discuss with Second Miss."
