"Is that Young Master Xu? Please, come in." A languid, feminine voice called out from the inner room.
Xu Luo lifted the door curtain and walked inside, his eyes falling upon Phoenix reclining on a soft couch. He froze for a moment, then blurted out, "You're the Phoenix Pavilion Master?"
"Hehe, what's wrong? Are you surprised to see me like this?"
Phoenix laughed charmingly. "This is my true face. For certain reasons, I was unable to show it to anyone before. I hope Young Master Xu can forgive me. Young Master Xu... please, have a seat."
'I'm not surprised at all,' Xu Luo thought. 'I'm just surprised you'd suddenly do this. Of course, I still have to look very, *very* surprised...'
