Chapter 127: Unexpected
Wu Tieshan's estate was located in the eastern district of the prefectural city. Though not as vast as top-tier wealthy families, it still had an extraordinary bearing.
Vermillion-painted gates, stone lions guarding the house, green stone paving the courtyard grounds, with several gnarled old plum trees dotting the space, all conveying a sense of low-key steadiness.
When the steward led Chen Qing into the main hall, Wu Tieshan was chatting and laughing with an elderly man.
"Haha, Young Friend Chen is here! Please, have a seat!"
Seeing Chen Qing enter, Wu Tieshan laughed heartily and stood to welcome him.
Since he and Chen Qing had traveled together to Five Terraces Sect last time, they had maintained frequent private contact. His intent to build connections was quite obvious.
Especially after Chen Qing advanced to mid-stage embracing elixir strength, he had even sent someone with generous gifts.
The elderly man beside Wu Tieshan also stood, his gaze turning toward Chen Qing.
This elder had a lean frame, wore gray linen clothes, with an oil-polished leather pouch and an antique-styled short blade hanging at his waist.
