There was a lane lined with Chinese parasol trees north of the city; the residences there were excellent, and the house prices were the highest among the four outer parts of the city.
Fang Zhixing first used the "Bone Shrinking and Face Changing," then rode a horse to the front of a mansion and knocked on the door.
Soon, a bare-chested young man opened the door. Upon seeing Fang Zhixing, who was unprepossessing in appearance but had a sword at his waist, he immediately became cautious, "Who are you and whom are you seeking?"
Fang Zhixing clasped his hands together and said, "I am Zhang Changji, here to pay my respects to Elder Xing Laixuan."
"You're here to see my father?"
The young man grew even more cautious, his eyes slightly narrowing as he said, "If you're here to challenge my father, please turn around and go back. My father is no longer involved in the Jianghu."
