Chapter 250: Life 73, Age 47, Martial Grandmaster Peak
After returning to his temporary home on the plateau, TaiZu explained the situation with the clan to his entourage and encouraged them to do their best to blend in. Then, he sent the three Grandmasters to evaluate the lower levels of the mountain and determine what they would need to do to make the place livable.
Not long after these people left, one of my clan’s outer elders arrived and gave TaiZu a deep bow.
“Grand Elder, you’ve arrived. Please, let me know how I can assist you.”
TaiZu smiled at this, but his smile didn’t reach his eyes.
“YiPo, why have you come here so soon? It will make both of us look suspicious.”
The young elder, YiPo, quickly shook his head in negation.
“Grand Elder, it was the leadership council that sent me here. They instructed me to give you a tour of the mountain.”
Taizu stroked his beard in thought. “Is that so? That’s fine then. Tell me about the place. What have you learned? How does this outpost compare to the environment in the Su Clan?”
“Grand Elder… this… there is… there is a place I need to show you. I believe it holds the secret to Prince Fang’s strength.”
