Xia Jin nodded and returned a smile.
His mind was already stirring with questions.
Why did Master suddenly want to see him?
However, seeing no serious expression on Lu Ming's face, nor any warnings, Xia Jin dismissed his worries that Situ Xiuneng might punish him. As he walked upstairs, Xia Jin began to craft what he would say to Situ Xiuneng in his mind.
Suddenly, Lu Ming, who was walking ahead, stopped and gestured for Xia Jin to move ahead.
"Young Master Xia, please go first!"
Xia Jin asked, "Senior Lu, aren't you going?"
"There's a task at hand, Young Master Xia. You're probably going to have to meet Lord Situ alone. But with your talent, Lord Situ is in a good mood and certainly won't blame you for your earlier actions. He's likely to just praise you." Lu Ming explained.
