"Who is the Deputy City Lord?"
A young man at the peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement walked into the hall and asked, his voice clear and gentle, a smile on his face that felt like a breath of spring.
"I am," the Deputy City Lord replied, looking at the youth. He noticed the embroidery of a flying sword enveloped by clouds on the young man's sleeve and his expression immediately turned serious, "So, you're a disciple of the Inner Sect of the Divine Wind Sword Sect. What brings you here?"
"These are four invitations," the youth said as he produced four golden envelopes and handed them to the Deputy City Lord.
Upon opening one, the Deputy City Lord's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "So it's the Sword Child Inauguration Ceremony of your sect. I will certainly attend."
