In the blink of an eye.
Two days had passed.
"Brother Jiang, come over here!"
"Envoy Ye has arrived!"
Jiang Ning put away the Heavenly Secrets Register, went into the lake for a quick wash, then headed inside.
A moment later.
He had changed into a brocade robe and strode out through the gates of his residence, making for Bai Luoyu's estate several hundred meters away.
The rear courtyard of the Bai Residence.
Inside the pavilion.
Ye Zhengqi, dressed in a white robe, suddenly covered his mouth and coughed softly.
"Envoy Ye, have your injuries not fully healed yet?" Bai Luoyu asked with a grave expression.
Ye Zhengqi shook his head slightly. "The cold has seeped into my five viscera and six bowels, clinging like maggots to the bone. It will take some time yet to dispel that frigid true intent."
At that, he looked toward Bai Luoyu.
"That beast has not made any moves these past days, has it?"
Bai Luoyu naturally knew which beast Ye Zhengqi meant.
It was the great demon, the White Horned Dragon, whose cultivation exceeded a thousand years in Luo Water Lake.
He shook his head. "No news has come in for now. It is likely still recuperating from its injuries!"
As he spoke, Bai Luoyu could not help but frown slightly.
"Envoy Ye, if that great demon comes out to stir up wind and waves again before long, what should we do?"
"You need not worry about that." Ye Zhengqi raised a cup of tea to moisten his lungs, then continued, "I have already reported this matter to Shen Wenyuan. He told me that once he takes office, he will personally make a trip to Luo Water Lake."
"Grandmaster Shen will act in person?" Bai Luoyu's eyes lit up.
His heart immediately settled.
