Lin Yuan followed Zhan Ting and another, walking for about the time it takes to burn two sticks of incense, before finally arriving at an exceptionally elegant garden.
The morning sunlight had just begun to emerge from the east.
The servants at the gate, upon seeing Zhan Ting and Cao Qin, hurriedly led the group to the master's residence.
As soon as the three turned into the main hall, they saw a butler-like figure standing quietly in the center. Clearly, he had received prior instructions.
"Uncle Xue," Zhan Ting and Cao Qin bowed in salute.
With a face full of smiles, the butler warmly said, "You've arrived. The master is in the study, you may proceed."
After the butler spoke, he looked at Lin Yuan's unfamiliar face and smiled, "Lin Yuan, please wait here for a moment."
"Yes."
The three bowed simultaneously.
After saying this, Zhan Ting and Cao Qin comforted Lin Yuan with a few whispered words before stepping into the inner study.
