With the sound of a zither ringing out, followed instantly by the harmonious blend of a flute, Zhang Qishan and the others looked toward the entrance. They saw Su An, who had just left, dressed in a long robe with his long hair tied back. Beside him, he was supporting a person attired in sumptuous black formal wear, with a flash of gold lining at the collar and cuffs, a gorgeous gold sash at the waist, and a simple hair bun on top secured by two jade hairpins.
Zhang Qiling and the others, who had just been about to take their seats, froze in place. This caused Eighth Master and Ninth Master, who were with them, to also stare as the person seated themselves at the high seat. Looking upon the young and peerless visage of the woman, Eighth Master and Ninth Master could not help but wonder: could this woman of matchless beauty be the elder of this place?
To the side, Master Wu cradled a puppy in his arms, a faint smile playing across his face as he stared at the woman sitting in the seat of honor. That fleeting glimpse at the market had been striking; he had not expected to meet her again so soon.
