At a certain inn in Wanjing, Lu Ping'an encountered an old acquaintance he had not seen in ages.
"Long time no see, Lord Xiu Yi,"
Seeing an old friend again undoubtedly filled Lu Ping'an with joy.
Especially after enduring the Plane War, where so many familiar faces from the past abruptly disappeared, leaving nothing but obituary notices... Encountering an old friend again in peace naturally brought comfort.
"Little Lu... Lu Ping'an, from now on, you don't need to address me as 'Lord' anymore."
The elderly lady before him, who appeared as a refined middle-aged noblewoman, seriously examined Lu Ping'an's increasingly youthful face and refused the honorific he'd used before.
Seeing Lu Ping'an's surprised expression, the elderly woman smiled and shook her head.
"…Otherwise, I might have to address you as 'Lord' as well."
"Then... Ms. Xiu Yi?"
"That works, Little Lu Ping'an."
Lu Ping'an didn't dwell on it much. He had never cared too much about titles.
