Concealment

The man who took Alex to his house was Zan Dashi, an inner disciple of rank 102. He was nearly in the top 100 and was apparently bound to enter it by the time the rankings refreshed soon.

Zan Dashi showed Alex his garden, letting him see the status of the poison plants that were beginning to wilt all around.

"What do you think? Can they be healed?" the man asked.

Alex looked at the plants, judging all around. "I think they can be saved, senior. They're not as bad as what senior Kang's plants looked, and they're now doing much better."

"Junior Kang told me the same thing," the young man said. "Then that means you can help me."

Alex frowned a little. He hadn't said anything when this man had brought him all the way here as he didn't want to speak out of turn, but he had guessed why he was being brought here long before that.
