Early next day, Dabang Sect Master's office...
"A pleasure to have you here, as always, Sir Caelus."
"The pleasure is mine."
Two men, one young and one old, sat opposite each other at a low tea table, calmly sipping their tea. They were, of course, Caelus and the sect master, Liang Teng.
Liang Teng let out a low, heavy breath, seemingly relaxed as he let the steam from the tea brush up against his face.
'What does this brat want with me, now?!'
However, although he held a calm facade, his inner thoughts were in turmoil.
'Is he going to try and strike a deal, again? Why can't he just do his research and stay quiet!?'
'This brat is going to drain me for all that I'm worth, at this rate! Why did we have to discover him when we're already in such a precarious situation?!"
The old man could already feel a stomachache coming on, as was usual when he thought about how Caelus and his friends could very well be a tipping point.
