A look of confusion appeared on both of their faces.
"Does this mean that Lord Cao Xing has invited both of us?" Hilton asked with uncertainty.
Just as they were in deep doubt, a young man dressed in a frost white robe, walking in dark blue cloth boots, approached them.
His steps were slow and light, yet the powerful aura he emitted invisibly imposed a strong sense of pressure on Hilton, Jes, and the guard team behind them.
This young man was, naturally, Cao Xing.
A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face as he said, "Lord Hilton, Lord Jes, it's been a while."
"You've had a long and tiring journey; let us go to the tavern in a while, so I can properly host you."
The two, having regained their senses, hurriedly returned the greeting, "It's been a while, Lord Cao Xing!"
Next to him, Jes, feeling both honored and surprised at seeing Cao Xing, said, "I didn't expect that Lord Cao Xing, now a Great Lord, would personally come to greet us, making me feel truly overwhelmed!"
