After sending Li Shunxi off, Lu Sheng had just turned around to head to the Pharmacy when he saw his senior apprentice brother, Hong Mingzi, leading an unfamiliar middle-aged man in the direction of the sect master’s study.
The two men walked side by side. That middle-aged man stood tall and straight, and did not seem old. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that the roots of his hair had turned white, with the vicissitudes of life showing in his eyes. He was definitely older than thirty or forty years in age.
Lu Sheng took the initiative to approach in welcome.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, what brings you here? This is…?" he looked at that middle-aged man.
As soon as that person approached, he examined Lu Sheng with a peculiar glint in his eye, as if he were laying his eyes on some rare, precious treasure.
