Bab 509: Proposals.

Yang Dao knocked on the room and the lady inside said, "Come in." 

The boy slowly pushed the door open and walked inside. Alisha stood outside the door, guarding the order. Yang Dao found the room to be quite different from his expectation. The decoration was minimalist. The walls were inlaid with bookshelves. While a section was dedicated to literature the other section belonged to alchemy books. 

A small table in the center of the room, and Elder Jing sat in the chair holding a quill in her hand. The boy asked, "Elder, do you not sleep?" 

Elder Jing replied, "I can stay awake for months, Dao. Do you not know that?" 

Yang Dao nodded and said, "But grandma says a lady should take care of herself. You will get wrinkles Elder." 

He walked close to the surprised lady and bowed as he said, "I have seen the elder."
