Frigid Meeting

Outside of each palace located in the valley, there were a set of heavy gates that obscured the view of the inner courtyard and the entrance. 

Abbot Tang was moving so fast that he had already reached the gates and his two associates had to use movement techniques to catch up with him. 

"Hm? Why are you fellows here?" He frowned.

Gu Mu-Song: "We've come to lay eyes on this supposed new blood you've invited."

Hideyoshi: "Indeed. I have questions."

Abbot Tang paused immediately. 

Ordinarily, he wouldn't have any problem with exchanging greetings among sect leaders. It was what they were all here for after all. 

But the parties involved in this posed potential issues. 

Taira and Aveena had a lot of secrets. Big ones in fact. 

And they were certainly entitled to them, but the Abbot was fully aware that he might've been the only one who was actually willing to respect them.
