Immediately, a servant came over with a basin of water and a clean towel.
Lu Yuan quickly wiped the sweat from his body. His strong, muscular physique made the girl holding the basin blush; she stole glances at him from time to time.
"Mrs. Zhuang, I am leaving now."
After wiping himself down, Lu Yuan greeted Zhuang Xiujie and turned to leave the courtyard, which had been temporarily converted into a Martial Arts field.
His spar with Zhuang Xiujie today had been spontaneous. Otherwise, it should have properly taken place in the official training grounds.
"Take care, Little Senior Brother."
Zhuang Xiujie meticulously observed the etiquette.
She watched Lu Yuan leave until his figure disappeared from the courtyard.
Zhuang Xiujie glanced at the mess in the courtyard and also turned to leave.
However, she stopped just as she stepped out of the courtyard's archway. Not far away, she saw a black-haired, middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back, quietly watching her.
