"Heh, how busy have the Outer Disciples of the sect become? Yet you seem quite at ease."
As the young merchant master saw Tian Lin still sitting upright in meditation, his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly ascended the stone steps with an easy demeanor.
Tian Lin did not rise. Instead, he simply opened the food box he had brought from Lianshui Peak's dining hall yesterday, pulling out the Grass God Fish, a delicacy he had never tasted before, while saying:
"Young Master Shang has arrived so early, you probably haven't had breakfast, right?"
While speaking, he took a three-legged toad and an Eagle Swallow from the second and third drawers, respectively.
