"Brother Duan! You're here too!"
"Eh... Who is this?"
There were many people atop Red Mountain. Those "fortuitously coinciding" challengers who had come to the Great Pudu Temple were essentially trapped here. Several young nobles from Northern County, upon seeing Duan Zhao, hurriedly came forward to greet him.
They knew that the heavy-sword-bearing youth following Xie Zhen was a newly accepted disciple of Lotus Peak.
After the hunt in the north concluded, the misunderstanding on Yong'an Street was thus resolved.
They brought gifts to Chen Mansion to apologize, and Xie Zhen accepted their apologies.
In this way, both parties could be considered to have turned foes into friends.
"Indeed, all of you are here."
Duan Zhao replied with a smile, scratching his head, and then said thoughtfully, "This is a disciple of the Master of World Pavilion, also a close friend of the young mountain master."
The expressions of the young nobles immediately changed from confusion to admiration.
