Xiao Chen hadn't expected Yuan Chong to be so timid.
But with the Spirit Stone in hand, he didn't fuss over it much, he'd find an opportunity to pass on the Cultivation Technique to Yuan Chong later.
Xiao Chen turned and returned to his seat. Zhao Jie was about to speak up to scold him when suddenly a voice came through.
"Zhao Jie, show some respect!"
Everyone looked over and saw a stern-faced man stride into the hall. The servants of Hu Jian Villa, upon seeing him, respectfully saluted.
All those present stood up and respectfully greeted, "Villa Master!"
The newcomer was none other than the current master of Hu Jian Villa, Yi Demiao.
"Master!" Zhao Jie also called out.
Yi Demiao waved his hand and gave Zhao Jie a meaningful glance.
Zhao Jie was slightly startled, then seemed to understand something and turned away.
