Ping Shui Prefecture, West Third Alley.
Deep in the alley sat a tea house.
The interior of the tea house was ancient and simple. In front of a pear wood cabinet, Lord Jiu cradled an ancient thread-bound book, reading while drinking yellow wine.
A woman with her hair in a bun and wearing a small jacket walked into the room, holding a turtle shell and taking small steps.
The woman's name was Chen Lanzi. As she entered the room, she bowed to Lord Jiu, "Lord Jiu."
Lord Jiu glanced at Chen Lanzi, not very warmly, and said casually, "Lanzi, find a place to sit."
"Lord Jiu, my turtle shell caught the whereabouts of the 'Ten Fingers' and also predicted the truth about the 'Human Turtle.'"
"What is the truth?" Lord Jiu wasn't very interested in Chen Lanzi's topic; he didn't even look at her, drinking wine and reading his book absentmindedly, responding casually.
