After they had eaten and drunk their fill, everyone rose to take their leave and return to their quarters to rest.
Chen Qing and Elder Deng Ziheng were about to leave when Huang Mei hurried over, a serious expression on her face and an invitation in her hand.
"Elder Deng, True Disciple Chen, please wait a moment."
Huang Mei presented the invitation. "Just now, the Gu Family sent someone with this invitation, inviting you both to their mansion tomorrow for a discussion and a banquet."
Deng Ziheng took the invitation, glanced at it, and casually handed it to Chen Qing, his gaze holding a profound meaning. "The Gu Family has sharp eyes and ears in Dongji City. We've only just arrived, and their invitation is already here. Judging by the wording, although it invites us both, the one they really want to see is likely you, the newly promoted True Disciple."
Chen Qing took the invitation, his brow furrowing slightly.
'I've only just arrived, and the local bully is already at my door.'
