Everyone at the Hong family’s house was surprised to hear that another guest had come to visit.As they looked out, they saw the patriarch walking into the hall with a man.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect Patriarch Yu to come too.”

“Where did Patriarch Yu come from before making his way here?”

Patriarch Yu was taken aback for a moment when he entered the Hong family’s hall and saw several patriarchs gathered there, but he quickly recovered and stepped forward. “You all arrived unusually early. I just came from City Lord Manor. As soon as I saw Patriarch Hong enter the Manor, I also wished to enter. The city guards, however, blocked my entrance and informed me that I could not enter without an invitation.”

Patriarch Yu snorted as he spoke, flicking his sleeves. “How arrogant! I couldn’t believe they wouldn’t let me into the manor.”

“Hahaha, so Patriarch Yu visited City Lord Manor! No wonder, no wonder.” One of them laughed out loud and shook his head.

“Don’t be concerned. We’d like to see Patriarch Hong as well, but we can’t get into City Lord Manor. It’s the same as waiting here. Since there are so many of us here today, I have no doubt that Patriarch Hong will be able to answer our questions and put our minds at ease. ”

The elder of the Hong family was drinking tea and listening quietly while they were talking.

Patriarch Yu’s gaze darted across the crowd before landing on the elder. “Great Elder, as the Hong family’s elder, you must be aware of what is going on.”

Elder Hong, who had been sipping tea, stopped to look up when he heard his name. “Patriarch Yu, stop joking; everything is going well these days. How can the old man know?”

When Patriarch Yu heard the answer, he frowned. “Can you tell me who that woman in red is?”

Elder Hong shook his head. “I’m not sure.”

“She arrived at your residence just yesterday!” Patriarch Yu exclaimed loudly.

Elder Hong smiled as he noticed his gloomy face and fierce eyes. “Have you forgotten that this is the Hong family? If you want to demonstrate your authority, I believe Patriarch Yu should return to his home.”

The other patriarchs were drinking tea while pretending not to hear, but after hearing the elder of the Hong family speak, they set their teacups down.

“Patriarch Yu, since you’re here, why don’t you have a cup of tea first; we’re also waiting, and we’re not in a hurry to find out.”

Elder Hong did not look at him again, instead sitting and drinking tea with his eyes down, as if he did not hear what they said.

When Patriarch Yu heard what they all said, he suppressed his wrath, stepped aside, and sat down, waiting for Patriarch Hong to return.

At the same time, Patriarch Hong was in the courtyard where Feng Jiu was staying at the City Lord Manor.

“Ghost Doctor, my father is awake,” Master Hong said, bowing to her. “This time around, it was all thanks to Ghost Doctor.”

Feng Jiu, who was eating breakfast, nodded and said, “Wait a moment. I’ll go with you to check on him later. Even when he wakes up, he still needs to be nursed.”

“Yes,” Patriarch Hong replied as he stood there waiting.

After about a quarter of an hour, Feng Jiu wiped her mouth and stood up, saying, “Tomorrow at the latest, several elders in the City Lord Manor will invite the city’s patriarchs to gather together and push you to the top rank. Prepare yourself during the next two days!”

“Yes, many thanks, Ghost Doctor,” He thanked her with his fists cupped together. Although he spoke calmly, his eyes were filled with unmistakable excitement and joy.

“Let’s go!” Feng Jiu motioned. She took Old White and followed him to Hong Manor.
