"His teacher."
Evelyn said calmly.
"Oh."
Li Wei got his answer and took two steps away, but he suddenly felt that something wasn't right.
It hit him all at once.
'Rota is clearly in love with her, but Evelyn isn't his lover? She's his teacher?'
'Wait a second!'
'Rota is thirty-five. If Evelyn is his teacher, how old is she?'
Curious, Li Wei glanced back at Evelyn.
Evelyn looked like a mature woman, fair-skinned and beautiful, without a single crow's foot around her eyes. She looked incredibly young.
She didn't look older than Rota at all.
In fact, Rota looked much older than his teacher.
'Their roles should be reversed.'
Evelyn put down her pipe and looked at Li Wei. "What? Is there another problem?"
Li Wei knew better than to ask a woman her age.
He quickly said, "No, I'm just a little surprised. You look much younger than Mage Rota."
Evelyn smiled. "You're quite the smooth talker."
"All women love beauty. I'm just good at taking care of myself."
