Chapitre 216: The Protective Warden Mu

After confirming several times that she really did mean Wu Ling, daughter of Wu Ningli, the flustered disciple showed her to one of the tea houses at the front of the sect and asked her to wait.

The wait lasted long enough for the tea house to serve tea and a small tray of sweets and for the young researcher to finish the entire pot of tea and tray of sweets before an older woman entered the small room with her.
