The next day, Chu Hao, the toad, and Zi Jing arrived at the agreed-upon location. They arrived at noon, at a hotel in a county town where Lan Zhen had already arranged accommodations.
The hotel wasn't luxurious, but it was the best in the county. When Chu Hao and his companions arrived, Lan Zhen was already waiting in the lobby.
Lan Zhen had a delicate face, a slightly prominent nose, and strikingly pale, translucent skin. Dressed in casual clothes, she didn't look like a female Taoist priest.
Nowadays, Taoist priests don't necessarily wear their robes everywhere; Qingcheng Mountain is one of the more relaxed branches of Taoism.
Seeing Chu Hao arrive with a young girl, Lan Zhen felt puzzled. She greeted them with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you've arrived."
