The Grand Priestess took another puff from the pipe, "It looks like your friends are here. Did Lady Jiang call them?" she asked formally.
'Lady Jiang' was taken aback by the sudden change in her voice but she didn't let it show. Instead she tilted her head sideways in confusion, "Friends? I don't have any here. And I didn't call those people just like I promised. Doesn't grandma remember?"
With a doe-eyed look, she peered towards the Grand Priestess with a questioning gaze. She seemed genuinely confused.
The Grand Priestess met her piercing gaze that was oozing with youthful innocence and couldn't help but let out a deep, lamenting sigh.
"Child, how many times have I told you to hide your emotions better? Huh?" she said finally giving up the pretenses.
Lady Jiang stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Peeeh! Don't wanna! Mother always said I should never lie, especially to people I know. And hiding one's emotions is also considered lying!"
