"Elder gentleman, please enjoy the tea. The young master will be here in a moment."
In the living room, a maidservant presented a fragrant cup of tea.
"There's no hurry, no hurry."
Atop the guest's seat, an elderly gentleman with white hair stroked his beard and smiled, "Li Jie Yuan is a busy man, it's only right for the likes of me to wait."
He was clad in brocaded robes, resembling a wealthy Officer, and despite his white hair and ancient years, he did not show signs of twilight years. Instead, his face was ruddy, full of life and vigor as though he belonged to a family of Immortals.
Behind him stood another figure, a young girl in red, her petite frame hidden beneath a large red cloak, with even her face mostly concealed by a fur-lined hood, its color unclear.
An elderly and a young person, one seated and one standing, waited a moment like that until someone finally entered the room.
"To have esteemed guests visit and not greet them from afar, how impolite of us!"
