Bai Qingyan noticed that the elder's shoes and the hem of his long robe were slightly wet. She realized that the elderly man had probably walked all the way without taking a carriage. Soon, she understood his identity and bowed respectfully to him: "Greetings, Mr. Min."
The renowned scholar of Wei Kingdom, Min Qianqiu, was someone Bai Qingyan had never met, but she had long heard of his reputation. In the past, her respected teacher, Mr. Guan Yongchong, had also mentioned this great scholar.
Seeing Bai Qingyan bow in greeting, the guards of the Bai family, including Lu Ping, quickly followed suit and bowed to Mr. Min Qianqiu.

The news of Mr. Min Qianqiu's visit to Bai Mansion was sent back by Lu Ping's men in advance.
Fortunately, Mrs. Dong had already made preparations and had tidied up an elegant and tranquil courtyard in the front yard for Mr. Min Qianqiu's residence.
