"Valley Master Chen, pardon the intrusion..."
Cui Zhen clutched a letter covered in runes, his eyes fixed on Chen Che, who sat before him in a Grandmaster's Chair, head bowed, sipping tea, completely ignoring him. Beads of sweat rolled down Cui Zhen's forehead.
'Damn it!'
'Why didn't I get the mission to deliver letters to the other Golden Core territories?'
'This man... even though he's technically a subordinate Golden Core master, he's the one who killed Lu Wanli all by himself. He's the one who publicly forced Duobao to back down on Celestial Beam Mountain and grant him a period of rest.'
'And yet, not even three months later, another summons arrives.'
He had known this trip wouldn't be easy, but he never imagined he'd be left hanging outside the Valley for an entire day. Once inside, he was tossed in the main hall to wait for two whole days before finally seeing a hale and hearty Chen Che.
