In the bamboo forest of Hundred Flowers Valley, inside the courtyard of a bamboo house!
The Long Family's Master sat on a lounge chair, waving a palm-leaf fan with his right hand and perusing a list titled 'Huang Quan's Life and Death Roster' in his left.
The first name on the list was Long Zhen, followed by some information about him. It wasn't detailed, but it pointed directly to the Long Family.
"It seems Huang Quan knows very little about the Long Family."
The Long Family's Master smiled, then scoffed, "Releasing the Life and Death Roster on the eve of his battle with Ba Dao... hmph. Huang Quan, oh, Huang Quan, when you die under Ba Dao's blade, this list will become your laughingstock."
Just then, the middle-aged woman hurried back.
The Long Family's Master asked, puzzled, "Didn't I tell you to stay outside and report back only after the battle between Huang Quan and Ba Dao had concluded?"
