The disciple from the White Cloud Sect was named Han Tao.
He did not disguise his identity but directly sought an audience under the name "Disciple Han Tao of the White Cloud Sect."
Shi Hao thought for a moment and then had someone invite him in.
"I have seen the Patriot Duke," Han Tao greeted Shi Hao with a cupped-hand salute, but his face bore an air of arrogance, clearly not holding Shi Hao in high regard.
It was understandable, after all, the White Cloud Sect boasted of masters from the Other Shore realm, and a mere Martial Venerable, just a step into Soul Nurturing, was hardly enough to inspire awe in him.
"Speak, what is it you want?" Shi Hao asked directly, having no patience for idle chatter.
Han Tao smiled, "Since the Patriot Duke is so straightforward, I'll get straight to the point as well."
But he paused for a moment, "I have been sent by the sect to investigate the disappearance of Liu Yixiao."
