Three days later, Yang Xiao met the elder responsible for treating Nalan Shuo. She was a female elder, about 60 years old, named Elder Shouzhuo. She was not tall, but her face was stern and rigid, radiating a "Do Not Enter" aura.
"Elder Shouzhuo, thank you for your trouble." Yang Xiao respectfully performed a junior's greeting to Elder Shouzhuo.
"Director Yang, you're too kind. I'm just following orders." Elder Shouzhuo lifted her eyelids slightly, her tone as calm as a still pond, maintaining her cold, iron-faced demeanor.
Yang Xiao looked around and saw only two disciples accompanying him. So he stepped forward, leaned in, and whispered, "Elder Shouzhuo, may I have a word with you?"
"No need, Director Yang, just say what you want." Elder Shouzhuo icily replied.
"Elder Shouzhuo, this is a matter of great significance. I hope the elder will spare no effort. After the matter is resolved, I will present you with a generous gift."
