In the big courtyard belonging to Ding Haiping, the Head Teacher of Wanyu Peak, within a white jade pavilion.
Ding Haiping, Wang Zijia, Li Zhengfang, Zhang Decheng, and Zheng Zhuo sat at the tea table in the pavilion. Ice Frost and Lei Ting did not follow them in but stood at the doorway instead.
Mainly because Ding Haiping had also realized that Lei Ting was a Celestial Immortal. If they stood behind Wang Zijia, not to mention the three Tribulation Crossing Cultivators like Li Zhengfang, even Ding Haiping who had just solidified his Profound Immortal Fruit Position would likely find it hard to sit in calm composure.
Just as the five had taken their seats, Ding Haiping's disciple served them fine tea and then quietly stepped to the side.
"Head Teacher, you've summoned us so urgently, is there an important matter that requires deliberation?" Zhang Decheng asked first, during the tea service by the disciple.
