"Great! It really tastes delicious. Yueling, you do have some culinary talent." Guan Yan didn't hold back her praise.

"Hehe, as long as Sister Guan thinks it tastes good, that's all that matters! I just wanted to do what I could for my sisters." Han Yueling lowered her head shyly.

Soon, almost everyone in Qianlan Pavilion drank the brown sugar water that Han Yueling had personally brewed.

Guan Yan picked up a bowl of brown sugar water and said with a smile.

“I’ll take this bowl to the Pavilion Master; she happens to be in the Pavilion.”

"Sect Master? The Sect Master is back?" Han Yueling asked in surprise.

From the very first day she was captured by Guan Yan and brought to Qianlan Pavilion, she had heard that Qianlan Pavilion had a mysterious pavilion master who was rarely seen, and that Guan Yan was just the person in charge on the surface.

But she had only heard about it and had never seen it before.

“Yes, do you want to come with me to meet the Pavilion Master? She's a legendary-level professional just like you. If you hadn't been influenced by that Qiao Suinian, your strength might not be weaker than the Pavilion Master’s now,” Guan Yan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!" Han Yueling exclaimed, looking like a little fangirl.

"Then come with me!"

Guan Yan swayed her slender waist as she walked forward, with Han Yueling following closely behind.

Soon Guan Yan arrived at a place Han Yueling had never been before. It was a small courtyard extending from Qianlan Pavilion, with many lush green trees planted outside, some of which had already sprouted branches and blossomed.

Knock knock knock.

Guan Yan raised her hand and gently knocked on the wooden door.

"Lan'er, may I come in?"

"Come in, Sister Guan." A clear and pleasant voice rang out in the courtyard.

Guan Yan pushed open the door, and Han Yueling glanced inside, her heart skipping a beat.

Before her stood a woman of striking beauty. This woman wore no makeup, and at first glance, she seemed plain and unassuming, but upon closer inspection, her eyes and brows exuded a captivating charm.

Her fair, delicate face revealed the elegant and poised beauty befitting a mature woman, drawing attention wherever she went.

"Let me introduce you. This is Xue Qianlan, the head of our Qianlan Pavilion."

"Lan'er, this is Han Yueling. Her talent is no less than yours, but she was born in a small place and therefore did not receive proper resources for upbringing."

Xue Qianlan smiled and then extended her hand.

"Hello, Yue Ling, it's a pleasure to have you join Qianlan Pavilion."

"Greetings, Pavilion Master! I've met the living Pavilion Master today!" Han Yueling exclaimed excitedly.

Xue Qianlan's smile froze on her face: "Could it be that you've seen the Dead Pavilion Master before?"

"There isn't that opportunity yet," Han Yueling said with a shy smile.
