Soon, the assistant came out again.
Then he said to Chu Ning:
"Please come in, Senior. Our shopkeeper is waiting inside."
With that, the assistant stepped aside, and Chu Ning, with a smile on his face, lifted the curtain and walked directly in.
As he stepped into the tea room, Chu Ning was slightly taken aback.
At this moment, there was still someone sitting behind the tea table, but it was not the familiar figure of Chu Ning.
Instead, it was a middle-aged man around forty-five or forty-six years old.
This man's appearance bore some resemblance to Cen Zijin's uncle, Cen Wenquan.
Chu Ning was quick to react. Although he was extremely surprised, he managed to maintain a smiling expression on his face.
The middle-aged man also showed a hint of surprise upon seeing Chu Ning, but he quickly stood up, clasped his hands, and said:
"Please take a seat, Fellow Daoist. I am Cen Wenhao, the shopkeeper of this Cen Workshop."
