Chapter 831: Ilcheon Cult (9)
"Welcome."
An old woman greeted us as we stepped through the gates.
"You must have had a hard journey getting here."
The old woman had a very kind demeanor. From what I’d heard, she was recently appointed to oversee the Tang Clan's Medicine Hall. Wasn’t she one of the few surviving elders?
As I looked at her, I bowed my head politely.
"Have you been well?"
"Always the same. And how have you been, young master?"
"Oh, well... you know."
"I’ve heard you’ve been doing so well that it makes even me proud."
"...Haha...."
I laughed awkwardly. Situations like this always left me unsure of how to respond. Acting too pleased would seem arrogant, but being overly modest would feel insincere. This much was all I could manage.
Once the greetings were over, the old woman smiled and glanced to the side.
