Hu Guanghui was very enthusiastic. He led Chu Li through a courtyard and arrived at an elegant small courtyard. He chuckled. "This is the abode specially built for important guests. Scribe Chu Li, please take a good rest and I will report to the High Duke."

Chu Li gave him a fist salute. "Sorry for the trouble."

"You are too polite. Xiao Ying!" Hu Guanghui yelled.

"Yes." Xiao Ying nodded with a smiling face. She said crisply, "Scribe Chu Li, I am Xiao Ying. Please tell me if you need anything!"

Chu Li gave her a fist salute and smiled. "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Xiao Ying."
