The middle-aged man had a resolute countenance, with each strand of his neatly cropped hair standing stiff like steel needles. Erect and dignified, he surveyed the area with his bright, piercing eyes, appearing to search for someone with a cautious air.
This was Tang Jiren, the Director-General of the Qingqiu Dao region, a Sixth Grade Martial General.
Logically speaking, he was on the same level as Zhou Songquan, albeit with more years of service. It was therefore unexpected for him to show up at the Zhou Family's event. Indeed, Zhou Songquan found the visit puzzling, given that he had only encountered Tang Jiren a few times at Martial Department functions. Nonetheless, since Tang Jiren had made an appearance, he must have come for him specifically.
That was why Zhou Songquan had just announced, "He's my guest."
