10 February 1228 of the Ziyun era, noon.
In the courtyard, Zhou Donghuang and Lin Lan were eating, while Fu and Granny Lian stood behind them.
"Young Master, someone is here," said Fu suddenly.
Hearing this, Zhou Donghuang looked towards the outside of the courtyard. A man was walking towards them quickly. When he got a clear look at the man, a murderous glint swept across Zhou Donghuang's eyes.
The man was none other than the disciple Lin Hua who had let them in a few days ago only to backstab them.
"Lin Lan, Fourth Elder is back… Second Elder asked me to inform you to confront him in the back courtyard in an hour's time." Lin Hua laughed. "I can't wait to see what proof you have to show later that Fourth Elder stole your formula." With that, Lin Hua left.
"Donghuang, can you really prove that you came up with the formula for the blood staunching elixir?" With the confrontation with Fourth Elder Lin Tonghong nearing, Lin Lan was nervous.
