On the side, Xu Yun deftly slipped the visiting card through the gap.
The gatekeeper took the card, eyed its appearance, and his tone became much more polite:
"Oh, it's someone from Lord Su's mansion. Little Old Qin here, you may call me Uncle Qin. Please wait a moment, I'll inform the master."
Then the gatekeeper, surnamed Qin, closed the panel again and went to find his master.
After about a quarter of an hour.
Cre-eak—
The side door opened from within.
A meticulously dressed man, looking like a steward, stepped out and gave the group a once-over:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Li Gu, the master of affairs at Li Mansion. Please follow me."
Xu Yun and his group exchanged glances, obediently following along.
Upon entering the mansion.
Led by the steward, the group passed through several courtyard walls, finally stopping before a book pavilion.
The pavilion was two stories high, with a faint scent of sandalwood.
