Amidst the hidden chamber, a masked man leaned casually against the stone wall. He broke the silence, his voice cool and collected, "You have guests."

Xie Meirong, in the middle of arranging an intricate reservoir of water in a rectangular basin, paused, her fingers delicately hovering over the surface.

"Who is it?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.

The masked man's eerie, phantom-like eyes glimmered slightly as he pointed towards his bandaged abdomen. "It's that man, the one who dealt this wound."

Xie Meirong's eyes narrowed, and a mischievous smile played on her lips as she started to move toward the exit.

"Are you going to meet him?" Phantom's voice echoed from behind her.
