Chapter 374: Intelligence
"Come in."
An aged voice came from inside.
Chen Qing pushed open the door and entered.
The elegant room was quite spacious, decorated with refined taste.
By the window stood a wide rosewood couch with a low table placed on it. On the table was a chess board.
A man sat upright on the couch, about fifty years old with graying hair tied back with a simple wooden hairpin.
He held a dark brown walking stick in his hand. Though it appeared ordinary, with Chen Qing's eyesight, he could see the stick's material was extraordinary. The connection between the head and shaft had an ingenious structure, clearly concealing mechanisms inside. It was clearly a peculiar weapon for defending against enemies.
The man was blind, but the instant Chen Qing stepped into the room, his ears moved almost imperceptibly.
"An honored guest at my door, I failed to welcome you properly. My apologies."
