Even If She Offered Herself...
Upon returning to the Four Seasons Academy, Matriarch Zhu called for Elder Deng's audience.
The first thing she asked him when he arrived was the name of their esteemed guests, but alas, Elder Deng only stared at her with a dumbfounded expression.
"Names? Their names?"
When Elder Deng realized that he didn't even know the names of their own guests, he nearly slammed his head against the floor in shame.
"Even you don't know their names?" Although she was upset, Matriarch Zhu did not blame him, as she also forgot such a simple thing.
"I-I will go and find out their names immediately—"
"Wait. There's no need to rush this, as they will be staying here for the next few days, and they will only be weird out by it. Instead, tell me if anything happened yesterday after you left."
"Yesterday…"
Elder Deng's eyes suddenly widened with shock.
"Right! I had planned on relaying this yesterday, but I wasn't able to since you left for the Golden Lion Academy before I could reach you!"
