With a longsword at his hip, Shen Bai stepped into the core room.
The moment he entered, he felt numerous gazes sweep over him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
'They're all experts.'
The gazes felt much stronger than that of the Dark Venerable Envoy he had encountered in Shengyun County, and there were a lot of them.
But the owners of these gazes seemed to know who he was. Their scrutiny held no hostility, and after a moment, they all returned to their own business.
Shen Bai rubbed his chin and took the stairs in the corner up to the second floor.
There were only a dozen or so rooms on the second floor. The door to the largest one stood wide open.
Shen Bai saw a tall figure bent over a desk, writing.
As if sensing Shen Bai's gaze, the tall figure looked up.
"Shen Bai. Please, come in."
Inside the room, a tall, middle-aged man looked directly at Shen Bai, his expression surprisingly gentle.
