Chapter 184: Raising Venomous Insects
Sect Master He Yuzhou sat high in the main seat, his expression serene, though his eyes held a trace of gravity deep within.
In the guest seat to his right sat a man who appeared to be in his thirties.
This person had a clean, refined face with eyes that carried a hint of indifference and detachment. He wore a uniquely patterned white brocade robe, with cloud-cradled pagoda designs embroidered in silver thread at the sleeves and hem. This was precisely the standard attire of Tianbao Upper Sect's core members.
This outfit alone represented supreme authority and backing within the Three Circuits and Fifty-One Prefectures.
He Yuzhou wore a smile as he spoke, "Special Envoy Zhao has traveled from afar to grace our humble sect. This He failed to welcome you properly. I hope the Special Envoy will forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kang merely waved his hand casually, his posture relaxed as if he had long grown accustomed to such scenes. He said indifferently, "Sect Master He is too kind. This envoy's visit is merely by order. There's no need for excessive courtesy."
"I wonder what instructions Special Envoy Zhao brings on this visit?"
He Yuzhou probed without revealing his thoughts, though his mind was already churning with countless possibilities.
"Instructions is too strong a word."
