The two women strolled leisurely along the stone path that curved through the sect's tranquil gardens, the late afternoon sun casting warm golden light over their shoulders.
The scent of blooming plum blossoms lingered in the air, mingling with the faint rustle of leaves in the breeze. They walked side by side, their conversation light and relaxed after a long time apart.
Bianca glanced over at her younger sister, who walked quietly at her side, her hands clasped in front of her.
"Senior Sister Jade, let me introduce you," she said warmly, placing a gentle hand on Amelia's back. "This is my sister, Amelia."
Jade turned toward the girl with a radiant smile, her expression softening immediately. "Such a cute little girl," she said affectionately. "Hello, Amelia. You can call me Big Sis from now on—I'm Jade."
