Hua Yanluo, a Celestial Sect Elder whose status was comparable to that of a Prefect, showed a respectful expression. She bowed and said, "Hua Yanluo respectfully welcomes our honored guest. Linxi Pavilion within the courtyard has been prepared. Please, feel free to rest there for a while after your long journey."
A maid in a green dress standing by the sedan chair spoke, "We appreciate your thoughtfulness, Elder Hua. My lady intends to go to the main hall to discuss matters first."
Upon hearing this, Hua Yanluo stepped aside to open the courtyard gate. "Please, come inside to discuss matters in detail!"
The four sedan bearers immediately lifted the sedan chair and, along with the four maids, followed Hua Yanluo into the courtyard.
