Yanqing sighed wearily, tying back his long blond hair with the help of the water's reflection. The stream was clear and sparkling, in the soft sunlight of this peaceful Luofu day. The young man gently passed his hand through the liquid as his mind raced. Here he was, waiting in the middle of this sumptuous garden, his new apprentice in addition to March 7th. The warrior leaned against the smooth wall, playing with his magnificent ice swords and twirling them deftly around his fingers.

He expected seriousness, concentration, tact and... Yanqing ran a hand over his face sternly. The young man would have to soften more with this newcomer if he didn't want to frighten her with his remarks. Suddenly, he heard a faint creak, like a split branch or a pile of dried leaves. He turned around and saw the person he had been waiting for so long.

"Hey! You're here for training, right?" He called to them in the distance with a friendly wave. Yanqing approached them from the wall with an expression softened by the signature smile that so usually appeared on his face.

He first put away his long ice swords, then reached out with his hand, spreading a few flakes from his melted palm. "My name is Yanqing. I'm lieutenant of the Xianzhou Alliance's Cloud Knights on board the Xianzhou Luofu, and General Jing Yuan's retainer." The young warrior explained proudly. "I'll be your trainer today only."
