The Nymph waiting at the entrance to the hall quickly turned and left.
Before long, the Nymph returned, leading a man inside.
The man was slight of build, with an unremarkable face. Only his eyes were sharp and piercing, giving off an exceptionally shrewd impression.
"Master, this is Lord Tao Ping, who came to visit before," the Nymph said softly.
Pei Ze nodded, waved his hand to dismiss the Nymph, and then turned his attention to Tao Ping.
Before Pei Ze could speak, Tao Ping said with a smile, "Forgive my unannounced visit. I hope I'm not disturbing you, Lord Pei Ze."
"You're too kind, Lord Tao Ping," Pei Ze replied with a slight smile. "Thank you for the gift. It's not a common item; you went to great trouble."
"It was just a small token of my esteem."
The smile on Tao Ping's face deepened.
"To be perfectly honest, while a Fairy House is rare, it's not difficult for us to acquire. If you need anything, we can obtain items even more precious than that."
