Chapter 281 (1/2)

Right after Elder Lu uttered those words, he returned to his mirthful mien. He was quite a lively old man.

“Hahaha, young lady, have a seat and some tea. We’re in no hurry.”

Elder Lu stroked his goatee beard and pointed to a high stool for Yun Jian to sit down with a beam.

“Mm.” Yun Jian followed his invitation, knowing that these matters could hardly be made clear in a word or two.

Lu Haoze stood aside quietly, like a good boy. He made Yun Jian a pot of tea and poured it out to the cup for her.

“Thank you,” Yun Jian told him softly with a smile.

In response, the boy went behind Elder Lu shyly.

“Well, young lady, ask away what you’d like to know since you’re that old fella’s disciple. I’ll tell you what I know,” Elder Lu said stroking his beard as he sat down in front of Yun Jian.

Yun Jian noticed, from Elder Lu’s replies, that he and her previous life’s master must share a significant relationship.

She did not hurry to ask. Instead, her finger rubbed the teacup gently as she let silence fill the space.

Elder Lu could not help being floored by the young girl’s tenacity.

Suddenly lifting her head, Yun Jian flashed Elder Lu a small smile. “You’re also from Yulong Mainland.”

Elder Lu’s hand that had been stroking his goatee froze, not expecting the young girl to not ask a question but…

Yun Jian was making a statement, not posing a question.

“Girlie! How – how did you know!” Elder Lu patted his chest as he sprang up in surprise.
