Zhao Youting responded with a sigh, hurriedly put down his cup, and stepped out of the carriage.

"The Ancestor's lesson is correct, however, You Ting has something to report."
"Speak," the Hulu Taoist said.
Zhao Youting immediately laid out his suspicions about the 'Butcher's theft of the household' in full detail.
