Han Lu, covered in blood, landed beside Lin Xuankong. Supporting his body with one leg, his voice was tinged with urgency, "My master, my master..."

Han Lu frowned and said, "My master is injured! Yesterday, while my master and I were transporting materials from Four-Direction City, we were ambushed by bandits using Enchanting Fragrance.

One of the disciples cupped his hands and said, "Steward Lin, Chief Steward Jiang is discussing important matters with Chief Steward Gao and Steward Ma. Please wait here for a moment; I’ll go in and inform them..."
