Led by Wind Night and Snow Chill, Lin Bai and Zhu Mo slowly climbed the stairs and arrived on the second floor.
Miss Yun Ke sat gracefully and elegantly in the seat of honor, her makeup exquisitely done. Two or three dozen small tables had been set before her, and every table was occupied by a martial artist.

Zhu Mo, however, ignored Miss Yun
