Was there actually someone at Yesterday Manor whom the white bird feared?
Chen Lin was secretly startled and puzzled.

The flippancy vanished from the white bird's voice.
With a wistful sigh, he said, "Not only a Supreme, but a top-tier Supreme. Unfortunately..."

"Take a look, Fourth Brother."
Chen Lin held up the Dragon
