While Liu Shimei and Mu Jiangli were engrossed in their conversation, Huangfu Lingyao sat idly on the side, playing with the tea cups on the table, occasionally producing soft porcelain clinks.
On the surface, he seemed uninterested in their conversation, but he absorbed every word they spoke and glanced at Mu Jiangli from time to time.
Mu Jiangli did the same, occasionally stealing glances at him and candidly saying, "I won't hide it, Eldest Miss Liu. The Master of the Colored Glass Pavilion, he's like a sworn brother to me. However, this Thousand Butterfly Valley is indeed my territory. Although today has had its unpleasant moments, Thousand Butterfly Valley's scenery is still worth seeing. Next time you visit, send a message in advance, and I will ensure you're well taken care of."
With a positive response, Liu Shimei nodded and replied, "Master Mu is too humble. I'll thank you in advance for your hospitality."
