Eavesdropping

At the mention of Jade Dragon Kingdom, Lin Jin immediately raised an eyebrow. He studied the face of Incense Master Chu carefully but still failed to recognize him. Lin Jin did not remember meeting him at all.

"Let's talk while we eat. I'm famished." The other middle-aged man was dressed in extravagant clothing compared to Incense Master Chu.

The older gentleman who held a walking stick that had a snake's head at the top chuckled when he heard that comment, but he said nothing else.

Upon closer observation, one would notice that the snake was actually alive. From time to time, it would hiss and flick its scarlet tongue out to taste the air.

"Come, sit!" The young master urged everyone to sit down while the bald shopkeeper hurried outside to have the dishes served.

His subordinates sensibly retreated from the room as well to stand guard outside. With this, only the four of them remained inside the private room.

No.

Lin Jin was inside too.
