Although he did not possess any innate talent for cultivation, Liu Chengjiu continued visiting Xie Jianyu every day. He only returned to Shuiran Palace close to dinner time.
Jiang Muchen had been gone for several days, thus the only ones to greet him upon his return were usually the palace staff and his younger brother, Liu Chengyun.
Today, when he stepped into the palace, the head servant approached him urgently.
"Young Master Liu, ah, an important guest has come. Please get ready to meet him now."
Liu Chengjiu was naturally surprised to hear this plea.
"I am only a guest in Shuiran Palace," he pointed out. "I am not audacious enough to greet His Highness's guests."
"Correct," so the head servant supplied. "But the thing is that the guest has been waiting for you to return for a long time."
"..."
Liu Chengjiu bowed his head slightly.
"In that case, I shall greet him with haste."
"Yes, yes, please do so."
