As soon as Li Xiuchang entered Eastern Geng District, he saw two figures standing outside the gate of his courtyard.
Li Xiuchang knew both of them.
One was the broad-shouldered, potbellied Pang Yuanfu. A year of cultivation had not made him any thinner; instead, he looked even more rich and imposing.
