"Brother Guan seems to have gone up to the third floor!"
When Xie Yuan and the others reached the second floor, they only heard several people nearby whispering that Xie Guan had already gone up to the third floor.
With the status of descendants of the Nine Great Surnames, Xie Yuan, Zhang Yunzhi, and Li Shuwan could naturally come and go freely on the first and second floors of Immortal-Inviting Tower.
But the third floor was different. Even favored juniors of the Nine Great Surnames could not go up at will unless they first reported it to their elders and received permission.
Xie Yuan was anxious.
The only elders of the Xie Clan currently on the third floor were the Old Madam and the mistresses of the Main Estate and Second Estate. His own mother was not among them, so he could not get a word in edgewise.
His father, Xie Ling, was not in Bianjing either, and for a moment, he did not know what to do.
Just then, Zhang Yunzhi reminded him, "Xie Yuan, isn't your uncle, Master Mirror Lake, on the third floor?"
Xie Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up. His uncle, Zhuge Jian, was an important court minister and was on the third floor today as well.
Li Shuwan also remembered that her family's Old Madam was on the third floor and prepared to order a servant to hurry over and report the matter.
Xie Qiyue immediately thought of her father, Xie Hong. Unlike Xie Renfeng, she had no concern about troubling her father. Instead, she felt a flicker of joy at being able to stay by his side.
As the legitimate son, Xue Hong had elders from his family on the third floor as well, so naturally he had nothing to worry about.
