"Who are you?"
Xiao Mu halted on the Cloud Road and looked at the two men. He was somewhat curious; he had just arrived in the Eastern Desolation and was immediately met with a welcome. Could it be that people had been stationed here to wait for him all along?
"To report to Grand Elder Xiao, I am Qiao Zhong, and he is Shen Lin." The bearded man proactively introduced himself and the other scholar-like man.
As if guessing the doubts in Xiao Mu's heart, he explained in detail, "Grand Elder Zhu Ke knew you would come, so he specifically instructed us to wait here."
"Zhu Ke?" Xiao Mu nodded. If it was Zhu Ke, there'd be no issue. He instructed, "Lead the way."
"Yes!" Qiao Zhong agreed, taking the lead. As he flew, he invited, "Grand Elder Xiao, please follow me."
Xiao Mu rode the clouds and traveled with the two. During their journey, he began to inquire about the war situation in the Eastern Desolation.
