Elder Su coughed, "Today, I'm just here to listen to music and watch the dance."
Upon hearing this, the woman quickly composed herself and greeted them with a pleasant smile:
"Very well, this way please, Elder Su."
Elder Su handed over a pouch of Spirit Stones, "Prepare a pot of the best State Color Fragrant Wine, brew a furnace of fresh Emergent-Lotus Tea, and a box of the finest assortment of pastries from Hundred Flowers…"
The woman beamed with joy, "Certainly."
Elder Su glanced at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua nodded in acknowledgment.
Elder Su then led Mo Hua to a spacious and refined private seat in front of the flower hall, separated by a Shuixian and Hibiscus screen.
Once they were seated, Mo Hua couldn't help complimenting him:
"Elder Su, you're quite adept at this."
Elder Su smiled and was about to nod, but halfway through, he realized what he was doing and immediately shook his head:
"I'm not, really not, this is only my first… second time coming here."
He was too embarrassed to exaggerate too much.
"Oh."
Mo Hua clearly didn't believe him.
Under Mo Hua's gaze, Elder Su felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles and tried to change the subject, saying:
"Young gentleman, weren't you looking for someone? You could ask the ladies here."
Mo Hua nodded and questioned:
"How should I go about it?"
Elder Su coughed a few times, and a woman approached, smiling and bowing respectfully:
"Does the Elder have any instructions?"
"Summon some ladies who are well-mannered, discreet, lightly made-up without excessive powder, not too flamboyant, and younger…"
Elder Su ordered with practiced ease, and the woman went to carry out his command.
Composed and nodding, Elder Su turned to Mo Hua and saw a look of awe on his face, with those big eyes blinking admiringly.
Just as Mo Hua was about to speak, Elder Su hastily said:
"I heard… heard it from someone else, I'm really not familiar, not at all…"
