(Lian Li POV)
The two of us took our positions a distance away from each other in Master's courtyard.
Keqing's jian was held by her side pointing downwards, the golden coloured blade gleaming in the morning light.
I poured my Quarks into the Protection and Silencing inscriptions Master had laid out in the courtyard for us, activating them without a hitch. I made sure to put in more than necessary since it'll be used by my sisters later as well, saving them the need to reactivate them again.
Now we can spar to our heart's content without any worry.
Keqing shifted her sword slightly to the side, pointing the sharp part of it towards me.
"I am ready, Mistress Lian Li. Please forgive my impudence for pointing this blade at you."
How polite of her.
I summoned Lightning to gather around me, "I am ready as well. Shall we?"
She nodded, lowering her chin slightly downwards to hide her neck, her sword held steady at an angle.
