Chapter 844: A Gift for Gongsun Ban. On this day.
The Li Family's Purple-Robed Attendant, the fourth-tier artifact refiner Gongsun Ban, had just finished inscribing another rune on the Divine Mansion Realm Human Weapon.
His face weary, he had only just stepped out of the Human Weapons Hall.
Yet Elder Jiang was already waiting outside.
"Attendant Gongsun, you've finally finished."
Elder Jiang came forward, his face wreathed in smiles.
Gongsun Ban paused in surprise.
"Old Jiang?"
"Is something the matter?"
Elder Jiang's expression turned solemn.
"The Lord has summoned you."
Gongsun Ban's heart tightened.
"Wait a moment. Let me change into something cleaner."
Elder Jiang nodded.
Half an hour later.
Under Elder Jiang's guidance, Gongsun Ban arrived outside the reception room in the family head's courtyard.
Elder Jiang stopped.
He smiled at Gongsun Ban as he spoke.
"Master Gongsun, the Lord is inside. Please."
Gongsun Ban nodded slightly.
"Sorry for the trouble," he said casually.
Then he stepped into the reception room.
Inside the reception room.
Dressed in a moon-white casual robe, Li Xinge sat in the seat of honor, sipping tea.
When he saw Gongsun Ban enter.
He set down his teacup, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"You're here, Master Gongsun. Sit."
Gongsun Ban stood on no ceremony.
After cupping his hands in greeting to Li Xinge, he sat down without the slightest hesitation.
He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup.
Then drained it in one gulp.
Gongsun Ban smacked his lips.
His eyes lit up.
"Good tea!"
He looked at Li Xinge.
With a smile, he said, "Family Head, you can't keep this fine tea all to yourself. You'll have to spare me a couple of tins later."
Only Gongsun Ban, one of the Li Family's founding members.
