In truth, Huyan Zhen saw everything as clearly as a polished mirror. These people all looked as though they had something to say but were holding back. They certainly had not come to welcome him.
They were here to stir up trouble, without a doubt.
He had originally planned to announce that he was about to become a Titled Douluo, but now he decided to put that matter aside.
Tap, tap, tap.
Huyan Li walked to the front of the hall and asked sternly, "What have you all gathered here for? Have you nothing else to do?"
He was the sect's young master, after all. Though Huyan Zhen beat him up at the slightest excuse, Huyan Li still carried considerable authority in front of outsiders.
Even when facing Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, he showed no fear whatsoever.
"Sect Master, Young Master, you're finally back. To be honest, my wife is about to give birth, and I need to go home to look after her."
The speaker was a thin, middle-aged man. His build alone made it clear that he was not a direct descendant of the Elephant Armor Sect, but one of its retainers.
Huyan Li frowned. "Retainer Qin, that doesn't add up. You've been in seclusion for two years, trying to break through to Soul Saint, and you haven't taken a single step outside the Elephant Armor Sect. Are you sure this news... is genuine?"
"That's right! Young Master, your words have jolted a dreamer awake!"
After hearing Huyan Li's words, Retainer Qin's expression abruptly changed. "In that case, I have all the more reason to go home now. Sect Master, Young Master, if I can't settle this matter properly, I won't be coming back."
With that, he stormed off in a fury.
He just left?
