Chen Tian stepped forward, his eyes scanning the group before settling on Ming Jian.
"Patriarch Ming," Chen Tian greeted with a respectful nod.
"Chen Tian," Ming Jian replied, his deep voice warm, a happy expression on his face. "It's good to see you. Before we leave, let me introduce your comrades-in-arms."
Chen Tian turned to observe the imposing strangers around him.
"These are your companions."
Ming Jian didn't need to introduce Ming Ming and Liang Wei, as they were already familiar faces to Chen Tian. He shifted his gaze, studying the newcomers as Ming Jian began the introductions.
"This is Lin Xue," Ming Jian said, gesturing toward a tall woman with flowing black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Her piercing green eyes sparkled with confidence, and a hint of mischief danced in her smile.
"She's a master of the Hidden Blade style, known for her agility and speed in combat."
