Tao Jinyan didn't expect to be treated with such courtesy. He quickly cupped his hands and returned the greeting. Then, he sized them up. " May I know your names?"
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had yet to speak when Zhang Dazhu rattled off their names like a firecracker.
"So it's Young Master Xue and Madam Jiang." Tao Jinyan smiled.
"You can call us Xue Yan and Jiang Yue," Jiang Yue and Xue Yan said.
Tao Jinyan didn't say much. He only asked, "Forgive me for being presumptuous. May I ask where you two came from? Why did you come to our Stone Village to inquire about something?"
No matter what, he was still a village chief and had studied before. If he had not been called out for cheating in the imperial examination and had even passed the scholar examination, he would not have been more cautious than Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not surprised.
Their actions were already very strange and suspicious.
