Lady Zhang’s personal maid stepped forward to receive the tray, then the master and servants proceeded to the study door...
"Knock, knock, knock...!"
"Who is it!" Inside, Celestial Master Zhang responded irritably, annoyed at the servant’s lack of perception for daring to interrupt his reunion with his master.
Ever since he parted ways with his master two years ago, today was their first eting. Recently, because of the prolonged inability to find the Thousand Year Striped Tiger, The Emperor has beco increasingly distrustful of him. In his urgency, Celestial Master Zhang wrote a letter and sent it overnight to Master Lin Kong, hoping he would co to the Capital to assist him. Celestial Master Zhang thought, his master’s skills are far more advanced than his. Even though he calculated the position of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger, he couldn’t find it for unknown reasons. Bringing his master here might solve the problem, leading to today’s visit.
Lady Zhang recognized her husband’s displeasure in his voice and hurriedly replied, "Old Master, it’s ."
Upon hearing this, Celestial Master Zhang froze for a mont, wondering why his wife was here now. Didn’t she realize he and his master had matters to discuss?
Celestial Master Zhang awkwardly looked at the man in black in front of him and said, "Master, my wife...?"
Lin Kong said coldly, "Ask her what she wants."
"Yes."
Celestial Master Zhang agreed and raised his voice to ask outside: "Madam, why have you co here?"
Outside the door, Lady Zhang replied quickly, "I brought tea and snacks to entertain the noble guest."
Celestial Master Zhang eagerly looked at Lin Kong: "Master, what do you think?"
"Let her co in!"
"Yes."
Celestial Master Zhang agreed again and raised his voice, "Madam, please co in."
"Alright!"
Lady Zhang took the tray from the maid’s hands, instructed several maids to wait outside, and pushed the door open...
"Old Master, the hot tea is here!"
Lady Zhang entered with a smile on her face, she eagerly glanced at Lin Kong and saw that he was still wearing a cloak, only his eyes were visible, which disappointed her. She thought, how mysterious is her husband’s master? Already inside but still wrapped up so tightly.
"Old Master, Master, have tea and snacks! You can fill your stomach first, the kitchen is busy preparing als." As she spoke, Lady Zhang carefully placed the tray on a small side table and thoughtfully poured two steaming cups of tea for them.
Unexpectedly, Lin Kong didn’t appreciate it at all and coldly said, "Don’t call that, I no longer take disciples."
Lady Zhang’s face froze for a mont, wondering, why is the Old Master’s master so unapproachable? It’s just a title, why is he so serious about it?
"Old Master." Lady Zhang was a bit at a loss and lightly tugged on Celestial Master Zhang’s sleeve.
Celestial Master Zhang scolded his wife, "Master is a Hermit Expert and doesn’t easily take disciples. If it weren’t for my talent and extraordinary mory, he wouldn’t have accepted , let alone you, a woman. Don’t call him Master, he is surnad Zhao, call him Young Master Zhao instead."
After admonishing his wife, Celestial Master Zhang eagerly looked at Lin Kong and smiled: "Master, am I correct?"
"Hmm!" Lin Kong arrogantly nodded his head.
Receiving his master’s approval, Celestial Master Zhang was delighted. He turned to his wife and shouted, "Did you hear that?"
Lady Zhang felt aggrieved, secretly pondering, who cares to be the disciple of such a Weirdo? She only didn’t know how to address him and politely called him without thinking it would incur a reprimand from the Old Master.
