She sensed the movement behind her and turned to face Lü Zhong as he walked in. A faint smile played on her lips. "What's this? Are you not happy to see your master?"
Lü Zhong's heart skipped a beat. 'Why is she here?' But his expression remained unchanged as he smiled. "Of course not. Master, your presence makes Tide Cave shine with splendor. You are most welcome, naturally."
"'Shine with splendor?'" Shuini guessed the meaning of the phrase and couldn't help but smile sweetly. She then glanced around, asking nonchalantly, "My good disciple, and where is my good daughter-in-law?"
"Feng'Er is still in seclusion. It will likely be another half a year before she's finished." Lü Zhong personally poured Shuini a cup of tea, a gesture of respect for his master.
"In seclusion?" Shuini picked up the Spirit Tea and took a casual sip.
"Oh? Then isn't this the perfect opportunity!"
Lü Zhong was speechless.
'This master of mine is as bold as ever.'
