Cheng Jinyan had some speculations in his mind.
However, he wasn't quite sure, after all, that legend had disappeared from the Imperial Capital for nearly twenty years, how could it be such a coincidence that he became Ruan Qi's master?
Cheng Jinyan unobtrusively pushed up his glasses.
"So it's Senior Nie," he said in a calm tone, yet not without politeness, "Thank you for performing surgery on me last night, it must have been tough."
Nie Beilou gently raised an eyebrow, and before he could speak, he heard Cheng Jinyan continue, "If I may be so bold, what is Senior Nie's full name?"
"Nie Beilou," the young girl's soft, girlish voice chimed in.
"???" Cheng Jinyan looked at Ruan Qi incredulously.
Thinking that he hadn't heard her clearly, Ruan Qi kindly repeated, "Mr. Cheng, my master's name is Nie Beilou. Nie as in ear, Beilou as in north of the compass directions."
After speaking, she curiously asked, "Mr. Cheng, do you know my master?"
