When Patriarch Hong returned with Feng Jiu to Hong Manor, the steward quickly greeted him and said, "Patriarch, several patriarchs from the city have been waiting in the reception hall for a long time."
When Patriarch Hong heard this, he looked at Feng Jiu and said, "Ghost Doctor, please first go to the rear courtyard where my father lives. I'll go have a look first and come back later."
Feng Jiu nodded and the steward led him to the rear courtyard.
Patriarch Hong walked toward the hall. He heard people talking inside the hall before he even arrived. His eyes flashed slightly as he surveyed the small crowd seated there, not expecting the patriarchs of the major clans to come.
When he noticed the Great Elder accompanying the guests in the reception hall, he walked in and smiled, "How did you find the time to come see me?"
