Perpetually Standing

Seeing the youth before him laughing so happily, Old Lin shook his head and said: "If you needs any more herbs, just help yourself to them upstairs. I will bring the medicine to the Lord first." Saying that, he strode himself out, leaving Feng Jiu to chortle delightedly on her own.

When Old Lin came to the main building and he saw no sign of Grey Wolf who was always by the Lord's side but instead found Shadow One standing guard in the yard, he went on to ask: "Shadow One, why do I not see Grey Wolf around?"

Hearing those words, a corner of Shadow One's mouth twitched and he cast a quick glance towards the inside before he whispered with a hushed voice: "Grey Wolf is in the Clear Wind Tower serving customers!"

"What?" Old Lin was startled and he said in almost a squeal: "Serving customers in Clear… Clear Wind Tower?" [Did he just hear that correctly?]

Shadow One made a shushing action and pointed towards the inside, gesturing for Old Lin to keep his voice down.
