After a while, Elder Master Lin came out from the house.
He had just finished his acupuncture session and had been resting in bed.
Hearing the noise outside, he couldn't help but come out to see what was going on.
Long Fei looked at him, and he sized up Long Fei, curiously asking, "What's all this about?"
Elder Master Lin was about seventy years old, his hair was gray and thinning, and his complexion was haggard, requiring support as he walked.
He, too, was dressed in traditional Chinese garb, his frame slender as if troubled by some illness.
An Taiyan said to him, "Nothing much. I was just diagnosing this young friend here, and was surprised at his condition, that's all."
Elder Master Lin took a sip of tea, staring at Long Fei with a light chuckle, "Shanshan, is this young friend visiting our home for the first time?"
Lin Shanshan nodded her head, "Yes, he's the surprise I told you about."
