Chen Mansion's back hall was deathly silent; the two names Jiao Tu and Yun Yang were like sharp blades plunged into Chen Liqin's chest, leaving him feeling as though his blood was surging uncontrollably and his body was utterly drained of strength.
Mrs. Liang rose to support him, asking in a low voice, "Master, perhaps it's nothing serious?"
Chen Liqin sighed inwardly. Jiao Tu and Yun Yang represented two of the Twelve Zodiacs, and for both figures to visit at once must be an extremely important matter. How could trivial issues warrant their attention?
After pondering the situation, he instructed the servant, "Please, let them in..."
Before he could finish, a frivolous voice wafted from outside, "No need for invitations, we have already let ourselves in. It's really unexpected that Mr. Chen is being so courteous to our Ritual Supervision. I was actually worried that Mr. Chen might not let us enter."
