Upon entering the main hall, Xu Mu glanced around and then walked towards one of the large cauldrons that no one was observing. Just as they had reached and were about to inspect it, a venerable old man with a youthful face and silver hair, accompanied by a chubby middle-aged man, approached them with smiles on their faces.
"Our esteemed friends, Xu Mu and Xu Lingyu, I presume?" the old man greeted with a salute.
"Indeed! May I ask who you are?" Xu Mu responded in kind.
Xu Lingyu also turned her head towards the old man and the middle-aged man with the round face.
"I am Wu Chun, an attendant of the Fifth Prince. Pleased to meet you both!" the old man introduced, pointing to the young man beside him, "This is Xie Chu, a fellow attendant of the Fifth Prince."
"It's a pleasure to meet you both!" Xie Chu greeted with a smile.
"Ah, our esteemed friends Wu and Xie! Your reputations precede you, and finally meeting you, I see they are indeed well deserved!" Xu Mu replied with a grin.
