"Disciples from the front courtyard?" Lin Hui stood up and pondered for a moment. "Let them in."
"Yes, sir." The disciple left to do so.
A short while later, a familiar figure appeared. He was accompanied by two slender women dressed in the white formal clothing of Qingfeng Temple, each holding a longsword. A disciple led them into the mansion, stopping before the pavilion.
The visitor was none other than Chen Sui, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
His face was gaunt, but his eyes shone with a strange light. He was a great deal thinner than before.
The other two were Huang Shan and Qiu Yiren, whom he also hadn't seen in a long time.
"Chen Sui greets Sect Leader Lin." As soon as Chen Sui approached, he took the initiative to perform a formal fist-and-palm salute, his bearing respectful.
Huang Shan, who was behind him, had originally planned to greet him familiarly, but seeing her senior brother act so formally, she understood and followed suit with a fist-and-palm salute.
