At midnight, Lin Bai was cultivating in his usual lotus position on the ground.
Meanwhile, Yue Qing was seated at the desk, eyes sharp and focused, looking over the sales report of the month.
Both of them were earnest in their tasks.
At this moment, a maid called out from outside: "Miss, Young Master-in-Law, there's a very scruffy beggar outside who claims to be an old friend of the Young Master-in-law, seeking an audience!"
"What old friend? Little girl, do you know how to speak? I'm still young, a man in my twenties, you understand? I and Dongfang Bai are brothers!"
As soon as the maid finished speaking, a frantic voice of an old man could be heard!
Yue Qing lifted her eyes from the desk, looking towards Lin Bai!
Lin Bai awoke from his meditative state, walked out to open the door, and saw a very sloppy old man outside the courtyard, emitting an overpowering stench of sweat, grinning foolishly at Lin Bai.
