Evening Gathering

"Sorry we're late," Wen Cheng said as he walked into the house. "Hmm? Oh, we're the first one to come?" 

"Master, come in," Alex said and saw the woman next to him. "Senior Cai Ping, greetings."

"Alchemist Yu," the woman greeted. "I didn't think I would get to meet you so soon. I only just recently found out that you disciplined under my husband as well."

"Oh, I thought more people knew that," Alex said.

"Only the people from the sect knew that," Wen Cheng said. "People from the outside were mostly unsure of everything."

"I see," Alex said. "Anyway, senior Cai. How have you been doing these days? Last I saw you was some 5 decades ago, wasn't it?" 

"I've been doing fine," the woman spoke. "The years have been mostly mundane, but I managed to get promoted to becoming the head of the Pink Cloud auction house of this city, so my days have passed by without becoming too boring."
