The Great Protector glanced at the Reincarnation Wheel Zen Master, and although he felt an inner trepidation, his outward demeanor was as imposing as ever. With a grand gesture, he commanded, "Serve tea!"
As his words fell, two alluring maids brought the tea forward.
The Reincarnation Wheel Grand Zen Master picked up the teacup, only sniffed it but did not drink, probably worried that it might be poisoned. After all, the Southern Territory of Xuanyuan Nation is home to the Hundred Herbs Garden, and although it's filled with divine healers, many of them are also skilled in poisons.
"As I was coming in, I heard that the King of the Southern Territory was also present, so why don't I see him?" the Reincarnation Wheel Zen Master set down the teacup and asked casually.
The Great Protector didn't speak; instead, he shifted his gaze towards a corner on the left, where Dugu Ming was seated.
