Suburbs of the capital city, Dragon King Hall headquarters.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, dazzling white lightning streaked across the sky, and a dense drizzle began to fall from the heavens.
It was raining.
Xiang Mantang exited the car without opening an umbrella, but as the torrential rain neared him, it was automatically diverted by an invisible Qi Force.
Gao Yu, who had come out with an umbrella, watched this spectacle with great envy.
Leaving Gao Yu to handle his tasks, Xiang Mantang walked back to his office to start boiling water for tea.
"Knock knock."
Just as Xiang Mantang finished preparing the tea, a knock sounded at the door.
"Come in," Xiang Mantang said without looking up and continued making tea.
The door opened, and a subtle and serene fragrance wafted in.
"Is there something you need?"
A cool voice rose beside him.
Xiang Mantang turned his head and glanced at Jian Ruyan's pale cheek, still as expressionless as ever.
