Chen Wen nodded. "A few people did indeed come."
They moved fast.
Yao Buran's expression twitched almost imperceptibly.
But he still suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked, "Will that cause any trouble?"
Chen Wen shook his head. "As long as you have no major issues, there won't be any problems on my end."
"Then let's go."
Yao Buran spoke directly.
What problem could he possibly have?
What purpose had brought those people here, and what purpose had brought him here—both sides knew perfectly well.
The only thing he was curious about was who had acted so quickly.
Before long, he arrived before the main hall.
The figures seated inside immediately came into view.
At the same time, Yao Feng and the others could not help looking over.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly froze solid.
Good heavens.
Every one of these arrivals was a major figure.
Yao Buran unconsciously drew a deep breath.
The elders saw Yao Buran as well.
Three of them rose to their feet. "This one greets the Valley Master."
In terms of status, no matter how influential they were, they still stood a level below Yao Buran.
The proper etiquette had to be observed.
The four Grand Elders glanced at Yao Buran, then gave him a slight bow. "Greetings, Valley Master."
Yao Buran hurriedly said, "You are all too courteous. In private, there is no need for so many formalities."
"I didn't expect the three of you to come out as well. It seems you all knew already."
Yao Feng said blandly, "The matter has grown this large. Even if we wanted not to know, we couldn't."
Yao Buran sighed helplessly. "That is indeed true."
"Valley Master, why don't you sit down first?" Chen Wen suddenly said.
Yao Buran nodded. "Then excuse me."
