"It's Zhang Tailai."
Wang Ba was quick to respond.
He glanced briefly at himself, found no flaws in his appearance, and then stepped forward to open the door.
To his surprise, there were no cultivators from the three great sects outside, only Zhang Tailai radiating a thick smell of smoke, hurriedly rushing in with an anxious expression.
Upon seeing Wang Ba safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shen, you didn't answer the door and scared me to death!"
Wang Ba's face gave nothing away as he asked, puzzled, "Master Zhang, what happened?"
Zhang Tailai shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just heard two noises outside, so I immediately went to check."
"Then I remembered Shen and hurried back."
"You... heard two noises?"
Wang Ba faltered.
He turned his head and looked at Bu Chan in confusion, "While I was meditating, were there two noises outside?"
Bu Chan nodded, "Yes, they were very loud. I have no idea what could make such a noise."
