"Prince of Zhending?"
Inside the hall, both Shao Yangzi and the young man could not help looking somewhat surprised.
Opposite him, the black-robed young man with a cinnabar mark between his brows immediately frowned.
"Qin Huo suddenly coming to visit at a time like this-could it be because of the earlier setback on the West Sea Kingdom's western front?"
Shao Yangzi's brows also knitted slightly.
"That seems unlikely. It was only the addition of a Spirit Transformation puppet. The Qin Clan wouldn't lose their composure over that. Perhaps it concerns the True Membrane Eye."
"The True Membrane Eye?"
The black-robed young man's expression grew grave. "That Membrane Eye is indeed different from ordinary Apertures. I'm afraid it will be a major problem... Will this affect the plan?"
Shao Yangzi did not answer immediately. Instead, he spoke softly to Xu Ying outside.
"Go and invite the Prince of Zhending into the sect. Do not neglect him."
"Yes."
Xu Ying's respectful voice immediately came from outside.
Sensing Xu Ying departing,
the black-robed young man tactfully rose at once.
"Since you will be receiving the Prince of Zhending, Sect Master, I shall take my leave."
Shao Yangzi shook his head.
"The Prince of Zhending is only a minor matter. The appearance of the True Membrane Eye is a major problem, but also an opportunity. Sorry for the trouble, Junior Brother, but please gather the peak masters currently in the sect, along with the Three Halls, Four Mountains, and the departments of the Five Offices..."
The black-robed young man seemed to realize something, and his spirits immediately lifted.
"Understood."
Seeing that the black-robed young man understood his meaning, Shao Yangzi nodded slightly.
"Go."
"Yes."
The black-robed young man, Ren Xiao, hurried away at once.
Shao Yangzi was left sitting cross-legged before the incense burner.
