Earlier that day...
~Shui Residence~
Shui Koshing was arranging the books neatly on the bookshelf that was already filled with books. This was his personal library and it was something he cherished like a prized possession. He never let the servants clean this place up as he thought that only he could give these treasured books the immaculate care and attention they required.
After everything that changed in his life, these were the only companions he had been left with, at this age. So, he cherished these books all the more.
The servant brought his Maojian tea along with some light snacks and placed it silently on the table. As the servant was about to leave, Shui Koshing inquired, "Has Xian left?"
The servant bowed his head and replied differentially, "No, Elder Master. Master Xian is still in his study."
Shui Koshing nodded his head saying, "Tell him to come to see me."
"Yes, Elder Master!"
The servant left the room with his head lowered.
