Lin Hui left the Lin Mansion. As the dim mist began to roll in, he walked out of a side gate alone, preparing to head back.
His Body Technique was too fast now, so he had dispensed with the entourage befitting an Observatory Master that Wang Hongshi and the others had originally suggested. He preferred to come and go quickly; it was convenient, fast, and saved him a lot of trouble.
It only took him half an hour to get from the Black Dragon Headquarters in the next town to the Lin Mansion.
Bringing people along would have slowed him down considerably.
He had just said goodbye to his mother and stepped over the threshold. Hearing the sounds of celebration for his little sister, Lin Xiaoliu, from within the mansion behind him, he was about to leave.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows behind him.
"Lin Hui... brother. Is now a good time to talk?"
The voice was clear. It was a man.
Lin Hui turned to look at the speaker.
