It was now dusk, the lanterns just beginning to glow. The entire Yokoyama family estate was ablaze with light. Everyone was gathered in the dining hall, yet no one dared to eat.
After all, Wu Liangchen had not yet returned, and no one dared to start eating.
The moment Wu Liangchen entered the dining hall, Yokoyama Misaki's and Takizawa Sayon's eyes lit up, and they immediately hurried over to greet him.
"Master Wu, please wash your hands," Yokoyama Misaki said with the utmost respect, holding out a hot towel.
The suffix she used was an honorific in the East Sea nation that implied both respect and a hint of intimacy.
Having dared to address him this way, Yokoyama Misaki was overcome with anxiety, terrified that Wu Liangchen would become enraged.
However, Wu Liangchen paid it no mind. He simply washed his hands in the basin held by Takizawa Sayon, took the towel to dry them, and then scanned the dining hall.
