The disciple hurried out, his footsteps echoing in the quiet of the night as he fetched Zheng Fang. Moments later, a solemn figure entered the tent, his presence commanding attention. Standing before them, Zheng Fang bowed respectfully, his hands cupped in a gesture of deference. "Greetings to the esteemed grand elder, Lady Meiren, and all the revered elders," he spoke with a tone of reverence.
"Ah, you're finally here. We've been eagerly awaiting your arrival. This lass was growing quite anxious about that lass miyuki's safety," Grand Elder Qian Guoliang remarked, casting a knowing glance towards Li Meiren.
He continued, "we are relieved to see you safe and sound. Please, have a seat and tell us your journey went. I hope little Miyuki didn't face any discomfort while travelling."
