Before long, the elderly butler strode in and bent forward to the Alchemist, "Mr. Dai, the young miss requests your presence in the study."
"Thank you." The Alchemist glanced meaningfully at Lu Hong, "Young brother, we shall meet again."
With that, he followed the butler into the study.
Upon the Alchemist's entrance, the young lady stood up to perform a perfect noblewoman's courtesy, "Mr. Dai, thank you for your concern and for personally visiting."
"Please sit down, Queen of Raoxue," the Alchemist quickly returned the courtesy, "I heard you've been injured; it's best not to exert yourself."
Only after the butler had brewed the tea did the young lady speak again, "Dear uncle, you may leave us; I have some matters to discuss with Mr. Dai."
"Very well, miss." The butler bowed slightly, then turned and left, carefully closing the door behind him.
