In the afternoon, as the sun sank west and the offices were about to close, a clerk left the Martial Guard headquarters and hurried to the Centurion Office in Baoqing Ward to see Huang Tian.
"Centurion Huang, Commander Bai asks you to come over."
"I understand."
Huang Tian guessed that the reward for capturing Zhang Yu was about to be issued, so he went to the Martial Guard headquarters and entered Bai Yuanfu's office.

Inside, he found not only Bai Yuanfu but also an elderly man in a blue robe. The old man's aura was deep and steady; he was clearly no weakling.
"Huang Tian, this is Grandmaster Yu, an assistant commander of our prefecture's Martial Guard!" Bai Yuanfu introduced him at once.
Huang Tian understood. This was the grandmaster who had been in seclusion all this time!
"Greetings, Assistant Commander!"
"No need for ceremony."
Yu Jingcheng stroked his beard and studied Huang Tian with a kindly gaze, privately pleased. A steady aura, gathered but unreleased. A solid foundation and a heroic bearing. Even before a grandmaster like me, he remains composed. He has resolve and calm. Not bad! Bai Yuanfu smiled beside him. "Huang Tian, we summoned you today for more than the silver reward for capturing Zhang Yu. The assistant commander thinks highly of you and has another reward—"
Stroking his beard with a smile, Yu Jingcheng turned his left hand over. A golden token appeared in his palm. He tossed it, and Huang Tian caught it steadily.
"I've made arrangements with the Six Gates, the Black Armor Army, and the Prefecture Office. Take my token to their Library Pavilions, and you may read every text there. No one will dare stop you."
Huang Tian held the gleaming golden token, delight rising in his heart.
