Perhaps sensing Wen Ran's tension, Helian Qing lowered her eyes and smiled, softly saying, "Come in and have a seat."
Only then did Wen Ran step into the pavilion and sit across from the beauty. Shortly thereafter, a cup of tea appeared in front of her.
Wen Ran thanked her and took a sip of the tea. Although she wasn't fond of tea nor particularly knowledgeable about it, she could tell that this tea was quite good.
Helian Qing said, "It's pre-rain Dragon Well, the tea that Xiao Yue liked."
Wen Ran glanced again at the tea, took another sip, and truly found it pleasant this time. Recalling Helian Qing's previous words, she couldn't help but ask, "Did my mother ever mention me to Sect Master Helian?"
"We often exchanged letters. Xiao Yue mentioned more than once your noisy and lively nature, very much like how she was as a child." Upon mentioning this, the smile in Helian Qing's eyes turned much gentler.
