It was already the third day—the day of Marquis Zhongxin's return.
Chu Yunfan's combat strength had recovered to the half-step Core Stage.
In the core courtyard of the residence, a man in a luxurious robe who looked to be around 50 to 60 years old sat in the study, handling various documents.
This person was none other than Marquis Zhongzin of the Great Wei Kingdom, Chu Yaowei.
Behind him was a square-faced man who looked to be in his forties. This man stood behind Chu Yaowei without moving as if he was a wooden stake.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside, followed by a voice announcing, "Chu Yunfan requests an audience!"
"Come in." Chu Yaowei raised his head.
A tall and slender figure dressed in black slowly walked in. It was Chu Yunfan.
"Greetings, Marquis Zhongxin!" Chu Yunfan bowed with a straight face.
"Sit," Chu Yaowei said.
