"Alright, let's go to the Mountain Pavilion," Qiao Hongyun said with a nod.
The Mountain Pavilion was one of the Haisa Sect's finest reception halls. Outside its windows lay a magnificent view of a churning sea of clouds and distant, rolling mountain ranges.
The group entered the Mountain Pavilion, which was elegantly yet grandly decorated, and took their seats.
Qiao Hongyun gave an order. "Go, have a Steward arrange for tea to be served. Use the 'Jade Sea Tide' I have stored here."
"Yes, sir."
The disciple accepted the order and departed.
Before long, a middle-aged man with a steady gait, dressed in the attire of a Haisa Sect Steward, entered with several disciples carrying tea.
He stood calmly to one side, directing the disciples as they served everyone tea with methodical and orderly movements.
When Chen Qing's gaze fell upon the man, his heart stirred.
This Steward was none other than Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's appearance had indeed changed somewhat.
