A benefactor

"Sit down," Sect Master Quan spoke as he sat down behind his own table and gestured for Hua Tianshu to also take a seat. 

Hua Tianshu politely nodded his head as he bent down and sat. 

"Was it really him?" Sect Master Quan immediately questioned as he looked at Hua Tianshu's face with a sense of urgency mixed with worry. 

Hua Tianshu gulped as he heard this question and took a minute to respond before he nodded his head. 

"It was him," Hua Tianshu confirmed. 

"Oh, Great Heavens..." Sect Master Quan muttered in disbelief. His eyes widened in shock, looking at Hua Tianshu with pity.

"Sect Master... I want to protect him this time," Hua Tianshu firmly spoke as he met the man's eyes. 

Sect Master Quan pursed his lips into a thin line and didn't dare give a response to that. As he looked at Hua Tianshu, he felt conflicted about what to do and which side to choose.
