Zhelan bowed back to Wen Ning as he entered with Wen Zhuliu, the servants holding open the curtain. Meili smiled behind the veil, still able to faintly see him through the fabric and he could likely faintly see her face as well.

Zhelan smiled, coming over to accept the gift from Wen Zhuliu since she had been given permission by her mistress. "This humble servant thanks Sect Leader Wen for his generous gift."
"My brothers intend to be there to say goodbye so one of the attendants can hand out the gifts to them," Meili said.
