Peak Chief Hall.
Xie Xiang gave three polite knocks on Peak Chief Guo Xiaomei's sizable door.
"Come in~"
A simple response from Guo Xiaomei.
The woman didn't need to ask who it was; she'd already studied Xie Xiang's distinctive knock.
Upon opening the door, Xie Xiang found Guo Xiaomei seated in a chair, her fair beautiful legs crossed, as she casually sipped rice wine from a small ceramic cup.
"Yes?" Guo Xiaomei prompted, waiting for Xie Xiang to state her reason for being there.
The woman didn't seem like her usual calm and outgoing self, which was somewhat bothersome to Xie Xiang; she didn't like seeing her master in such a state. Xie Xiang bowed her head respectfully. "Someone has come to see you."
Guo Xiaomei raised an eyebrow. "Unannounced?" Only other Peak Chiefs had the privilege of visiting without prior notice; and even they didn't misuse it. "Who would dare?" she asked.
