Yan Qing, along with Tianmiao and Cui Wenyan, finally arrived at an elegant courtyard. It was a garden-style courtyard, exquisite with rockeries and ponds, and a stone path leading directly to the main hall of the courtyard.

"This is my master’s courtyard; the guest rooms have been prepared for you." Yan Qing introduced as he was about to enter the hall, the door opened, and someone came out.

"Young martial brother, why are you so slow? Master asked me to check why you haven’t returned yet. Where are the distinguished guests? Where’s Miss Tianmiao?" The speaker was someone Cui Wenyan recognized, the president of the Heavenly Master Association, Ma Dong! Is he indeed Yan Qing’s senior brother? That means he is the Great Elder’s disciple?

"Senior brother, didn’t I just come back? Where’s the master?" Yan Qing greeted with a smile.

"Master has been waiting inside. The guests..." Ma Dong said, raising his head to look at the two behind Yan Qing, and froze after seeing their faces.

Could it be Cui Wenyan and the mysterious woman from that day, are they the esteemed guests awaited by the master? The Ms. Tianmiao that the master often mentioned, is that the woman who appeared at Cui Wenyan’s home that day!

"Master, I’m back, Miss Tian and her apprentice are also here. Master, master, time for tea!" Yan Qing handed his suitcase to Ma Dong, then excitedly rushed inside, shouting even before entering.

"You little rascal, how many times have I told you, be steady, be steadier," an elderly voice sounded from inside, though it seemed like scolding, the tone was filled with helplessness and affection. The fact was Yan Qing was remarkably talented and very likable, the Great Elder treated him like a beloved grandson and held high hopes for him.

Footsteps sounded as the Great Elder personally came to the door to greet Tianmiao.

"Miss Tian, you’ve come a long way, please come in." The Great Elder was short and thin, but he seemed very spirited.

Tianmiao nodded and, accompanied by Cui Wenyan, entered the hall.

Ma Dong stood still for a good while without coming back to his senses, thinking about the honor his master bestowed, who on earth was this Tianmiao? At first, she made Wu Zhongyuan hurt with just one move, took several months for him to recover. The Second Elder mentioned it was fortunate she showed mercy, otherwise it wouldn’t have been months of recuperation, he would have returned as a corpse then.

What was the relationship between this Tianmiao and Cui Wenyan? Was she really a friend of Cui Wenyan’s parents?

No, it was impossible. They knew about the interpersonal relations of Cui Wenyan’s parents thoroughly. They definitely didn’t have a friend named Tianmiao.

Wait, why was Cui Wenyan appearing here? She didn’t have any aptitude whatsoever. What was Tianmiao bringing her here for? Ma Dong looked at the entrance of the Gold Coin hall, turned to seek Zhou Zhenghao, maybe Zhou Zhenghao knew something.

However, Zhou Zhenghao was even more surprised than he was.

"What? Cui Wenyan is here? That woman brought her? What’s the intention? To broaden her horizons? Nonsense." Zhou Zhenghao frowned, "This place is not meant for ordinary people at all."

"You don’t know either?" Ma Dong was puzzled.

"I don’t know. After that incident, I can no longer face her, and she hasn’t contacted me either. That matter, what you did was unjust. No, I should say, was outrageous." Zhou Zhenghao looked at Ma Dong with disdain.

Ma Dong smiled bitterly, sighed: "I didn’t want to either. But now, given the situation, you know. If the Ghost King reappeared, who could oppose him? We can only take precautions. And Cui Wenyan’s bracelet is indeed a potent Magic Artifact; since she has no use for it, we might as well hold onto it, gaining one more leverage to fight against the Ghost King in the future."
