Night.
Wu Family Collection.
A figure, unnoticed by all, slipped silently into the heavily guarded Wu Family Mansion.
"Who's there?!"
Wu Yuanzhi, who had been resting with his eyes closed while standing guard in the main hall, suddenly snapped his eyes open.
A blinding light flared in his eyes, nearly illuminating the entire room!
"Second Uncle, it's me!"
The newcomer removed his conical hat and veil, revealing a young face.
"Hao'Er, it's you! You're back?!"
Seeing the visitor, Wu Yuanzhi shot to his feet. His face was filled with delight as he hurried forward to greet him.
This person,
was none other than the prodigy of the Wu Family, Wu Tianhao—the very person who had visited Dawan Village a month ago and had a brief encounter with Shen Changchuan!
"When did you get back?"
"I set out the moment I received the Communication Talisman you sent, Second Uncle."
Wu Tianhao sat down,
and took a sip of tea to quench his thirst.
