It wasn't that Madam Zhou was overly curious and gossipy, wanting to pry into her daughter's business, it was just that the sight of the two of them appearing together was quite striking. After all, Wufu had gone to the prefectural city by herself, but she had been brought back by none other than the Ninth Master.
Madam Zhou was truly curious.
"This time when I went to the prefectural city, the Ninth Master was also there. He helped me a lot, and since we were both headed back to Huayang, we decided to return together. It's also nice to have someone to watch out for you on the road," Wufu said with a smile.
"Is that so," Madam Zhou said, enlightened. "Then you should prepare a gift to thank him for his help on the road."
