When I saw Third Master Zhang at the main gate, I immediately called out,
"Third Master!"
Third Master stood at the entrance with a smile. Just as he was about to speak, he spotted Blazing Fire behind me.
He paused slightly before speaking.
"Xiao Jiang, General Blazing Fire!"
As he spoke, he clasped his fists in greeting.
Blazing Fire returned the gesture without saying anything.
I asked,
"Third Master, what are you doing here?"
Third Master smiled.
"I knew as soon as you came in.
Besides, if I hadn't come over and some students attending morning classes saw you, wouldn't they mistake you for a thief? That would be troublesome."
Third Master had a close grasp of this place.
Perhaps aside from me, no one else could truly come and go here as they pleased.
"That's true! Sorry to trouble you, Third Master."
Third Master waved his hand.
"Xiao Jiang, why did General Blazing Fire come out with you?"
"Third Master, something happened to my senior brother recently..."
I briefly explained the situation to Third Master.
He was surprised after hearing it, not expecting my third senior brother Zhuang Sheng's matter to involve the Yin Envoy and those ghostly cultivators from Golden Spring.
But after hearing how I intended to handle it, he nodded as well.
"That's good, then. Since De Cai has gone to the Qilian Mountains to retrieve the Spirit-Severing Cold Jade, there shouldn't be any major problems.
If you need anything, contact me anytime."
"Alright, Third Master. I'll take Blazing Fire and leave first."
I opened the Black Umbrella. The Netherworld Umbrella could ward off yang energy.
As long as Blazing Fire stood in its shadow, there would be no problem.
With that, I held the Black Umbrella and left with Blazing Fire.
Blazing Fire barely spoke.
