The man standing before Li Huowang wore an enormous mask, so large it nearly covered his entire upper body. Beneath the mask, two legs clad in green trousers stuck out, looking utterly incongruous.
"This is a representative of Huo Shu's Astrological Bureau. You can call him the Ritual Master. Since you've come to assist, it's only natural you get to know the locals."
After introducing the man, Xuan Pin pointed at Li Huowang. "This is the one I mentioned."
Li Huowang sized the man up and down, a mix of curiosity and suspicion in his eyes, and cupped his hands in a Daoist salute. "Li Huowang from Qingfeng Daoist Temple pays his respects. May I ask which sect or lineage you belong to, Senior?"
Only a single word came from behind the mask. "Nuo."
