The material of that yellow paper was unknown, for the flame it produced was not of a normal color, but a translucent blue that was strikingly beautiful.
The flame licked the delicate yellow paper, ready to reduce it all to ashes, when suddenly the hall doors burst open, a gust of cold wind swept through, and snuffed out the half-burned fire outright.

The newcomer paused, as if seeing the elder’s astonishment, then respectfully said, "It appears Uncle-Master is here, has Zijin disturbed you?"
The elder watched him for a long moment, then his eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled, "Just in time, I have some questions to ask you."
"Oh?" Jin Zijin raised an eyebrow, stepping leisurely into the hall, "What would Uncle-Master like to ask?"

Jin Zijin’s smile faded, and he snorted coldly, "Summon that Zhuo Qing, I will confront him."
