"Don't attack! We mean no harm!" Ghost Elder, having just escaped death by a whisker, cried out to the old woman, his heart still pounding.
"Ghost Elder?"
The old woman recognized him. She immediately put away her long spear and hurried over.
"Aunt Mei, you nearly killed me!"
"I'm so sorry, so sorry..." the woman known as Aunt Mei said with an embarrassed smile. "I was just worried you might have ill intentions, so I thought it better to strike first."
"And who is this young man? If it weren't for his quick reaction, you'd be dead by now."
Ghost Elder dusted himself off and turned to introduce them. "This is Zhao Dong, my young friend. Including today, he's now saved my life twice."
"Is that all?" Aunt Mei's expression was guarded.
"He also has a good relationship with the Su Family and saved Miss Su's life."
"I see." Realization dawned on Aunt Mei, and a flicker of admiration appeared in her eyes.
