Zheng Martial Arts Hall, the True Disciple's courtyard residence.
Xi'Er and Dong'Er, dressed in short cyan tunics, stood at the entrance, peering out toward the corridor beyond the courtyard.
These past few years with the Chens', the two young maids had lived well. Their food and clothing were provided for, and they even got to eat some Demon Beast Meat occasionally.
As a result, they were very well-nourished and had developed quite well physically.
Xi'Er in particular, despite being only thirteen, was already much taller and more well-rounded than an ordinary girl. Combined with her naturally delicate and lovely features, she looked for all the world like a young woman.
Just then, Chen Cheng came striding down the corridor.
The two young maids hurried forward and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Master!"
"No need for formalities." Chen Cheng gave a slight nod. Looking toward the main hall in the front courtyard, he asked, "Where is our guest?"
