Wei Yan’s words made Yang Hui’s body suddenly stiffen. Indeed, before him was none other than the genius Fifth Elder of the Heavenly Secret Sect!

He had his own pride, and even if it were true that he had barged into Yang’s residence, his father would not punish him, but would instead scold him!

"Fifth Elder, just now the noise caused by the thief at Yang’s residence was too great, I was in a state of frantic anger, and my mind was confused. I offended you just now, it was my fault, I hereby apologize to you," Yang Hui said sincerely, bowing deeply to Xiao Zhan.

Seeing Yang Hui so sincere, Xiao Zhan’s mood slowly improved. Since the Young Master was giving him face, he could not be ungracious.

"Actually, I was also a bit hot-tempered, wasn’t it just about looking at the palm?" Xiao Zhan extended both hands, showing them front and back.

Seeing Xiao Zhan display his hands, Yang Hui frowned deeply. It really wasn’t Xiao Zhan! What in the world was going on?

"Old Five, did you really not notice anyone passing by earlier? Logically speaking, you are at the Middle Stage of Quasi-Divine Realm, you should have detected even the slightest trace of someone passing by your door," asked Wei Yan with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Zhan replied indifferently, "Big brother, indeed someone did pass by earlier, it was Third Elder’s son-in-law, Yang Xiong. However, Yang Xiong is merely at the Peak of Quasi-Celestial Realm, absolutely incapable of causing such a big disturbance at Yang’s residence."

Hearing this, Wei Yan shrugged his shoulders. He was already familiar with this worthless son-in-law, Zhou Tong — he definitely lacked both the courage and the ability to cause trouble at Yang’s residence.

A regular guard at Yang’s residence could easily apprehend him!

Yet, a light bulb went off for Yang Hui. The man from earlier could hide his true strength, and even change his appearance so that even his father could be deceived. Wouldn’t transforming into Yang Xiong be very simple?

"Elder Wu, what you said just now, is it true Yang Xiong just walked by?" Yang Hui suppressed his excitement and asked.

"Yes, but it absolutely couldn’t have been Yang Xiong."

"It’s possible! Anyone is possible! The intruder can freely change his appearance, and moreover, he can hide his strength!

At the beginning, he had only the strength of the Middle Stage of the Celestial Realm, but suddenly he erupted with the power of the Late Stage of the Celestial Realm, and eventually even summoned the energy of the Early Stage of Quasi-Divine Realm!"

Yang Hui’s words made everyone’s faces turn serious. A person who can hide their own strength? Such a person is a natural-born assassin! If targeted by such a person...

Thinking this, everyone felt a surge of self-preservation!

"If that’s really the case, we must make a trip to the Third Elder’s house! We must meet this remarkable son-in-law of his!" Wei Yan said solemnly.

Everyone agreed, except for Xiao Zhan, who frowned — after all, the Third Elder was his close friend, and he did not want the Zhou’s residence disturbed.

However, with everyone in agreement, his opposition wouldn’t stand, and Xiao Zhan had no choice but to follow the group. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Because he had drunk too much, Zhou Tong was not awakened by the commotion and continued to sleep soundly, totally unaware of the uninvited guests’ arrival.

Thump, thump, thump — Wei Yan pounded Zhou’s residence door forcefully.

"Who is it? In the middle of the night, can’t you let people sleep?"

After muttering, with a creak, the Protector opened the door and, seeing such a distinguished group at the doorstep, nearly wet himself from fright.

"Greetings, Young Master, greetings, elders."

"Where is the Third Elder? Hurry up and tell him to come out and receive us!" Wei Yan said with a hint of displeasure in his voice. In the event of such a major disturbance at the Sect Leader’s residence, Zhou Tong could still stay so composed!

"Yes! Elders, please, this way to the guest rooms," the Protector made a gesture of drawing back with one hand.
