"I was surprised when little Hao told me you wanted to meet me again," senior Yang said. "I did not expect you to want to meet me this early."
Alex had just arrived in the backyard of the mansion when Senior Yang spoke to him all of a sudden.
"Greetings, senior," Alex said with a respectful bow. "I hope you don't mind me returning so early. Something important came up."
"I understand," the senior said in a warm tone.
"Young Alex," the snake walked out of the lake, turning into his human form with a slender body and long black hair with blue robes. His slit eyes tried to be as human-like as they could, but they failed.
"Senior Xuan," Alex bowed toward the heavenly beast. He called out Pearl and Whisker, both of whom respectfully greeted the two.
