Spirit Tamer Hall
"Hua Chou, it looks like you won in our bet..." the spirit tamer hall master, Chao Chang, glanced at one particular group who was joining the queue towards the entrance door.
"My instincts did say that I will win." the man smirked haughtily.
In the distance, Yu Zhe and his protectors made their way and joined the bustling crowd. The other participants had just gathered and did not notice them yet.
"Ninth Prince, good to see you! The Spirit Tamer Hall is delighted to know that you are participating in this year's event!" the lady greeted charmingly at Yu Zhe while her gaze traveled at his companions.
"Master Chao Chang, these are my personal guards. I am here to register them." Yu Zhe told the lady. He also bowed slightly at Hua Chou who was standing beside Chao Chang.
"Ah, ninth prince, I am not worthy of your gesture. Your father might execute me!" he quickly stopped the boy.
