Zhan Liluo heard her mother's words and gave a bashful smile, thinking that with her mother's intervention, her relationship with Mu Yan might just work out.
She was already past the usual age for marriage, yet she waited for Mu Yan, a woman as devoted as her deserved a reward.
After the mother and daughter left, Zhan Xincheng ordered his palanquin bearers to take him to a certain place.
In the suburbs of Ding'an City, there lay Luhua Mountain where the Heavenly Slaughter Sect, reputed as the foremost sect in the world, was located.
Not far up from the foot of the mountain was the entrance to the sect.
After sending a message, Zhan Xincheng arrived inside the sect.
"General Zhan, what brings you to my humble abode?" Sect Master Ouyang Song asked with a feigned smile.
Supported by his men, Zhan Xincheng approached Ouyang Song and said with a smile, "Visiting an old friend, I naturally have important matters to discuss."
