All eyes were on Ma Zheng, his swagger was suffused with the exceptionalism of a wise sage, great merchant, and knowledgeable scholar. Whether it was the glinting light from his vibrant, energized pupils, or his hint of a smile that contained indescribable confidence, he gave a profound impression to the others.
Some were startled into silence, caught off-guard by Ma Zheng's arrival and brazen demeanor. Others, like Shui Yu and Shuang Xi, were exceptionally calm. There was another, a middle-aged woman with a homely appearance, with two star-studded earrings and a pearl necklace. She was none other than the Manager of the First Branch of the Golden Life Pavilion, the second Earthly Saint amongst the Golden Life Pavilion.
