Afternoon of October 17, 2017
Under the scorching afternoon sun, Wang Jiu and Qian Ye left the Drunken Immortal Tower. Qian Ye staggered towards the Qian Family's training ground in the outskirts, looking like a warrior about to face execution with tragic bravery.
Wang Jiu received a message from Lu Xin, saying there was an urgent matter and he should hurry to the Assembly Hall at the mansion...
When Wang Jiu returned to the mansion, several servants were already waiting at the gate, looking exhausted from anxiety. Upon seeing Wang Jiu, they rushed over eagerly like hostesses trying to attract customers at a salon.
"Mr. Wang Jiu, you're finally here. The Mistress and the Elders have been waiting for a long time. Please follow me this way."
Wang Jiu followed the servants along a shortcut straight to the Assembly Hall, which was already full of people by the time he arrived.
