On the ground floor of the guest building, several people emitted fluctuations of Yin spirit power, apparently brought by Xu ijing's Night Watch.
In addition to these Night Watch, there were also several young juniors who might have co with their own elders.
The appearance of Yang Haoran and his group imdiately attracted the attention of these people. They had all seen Zhang Li and his father before, as they were responsible for receiving them today.
However, no one recognized Zhang Li, not even giving him a second glance.
In contrast, Yang Haoran was in a completely different situation. Although he looked as ordinary as Zhang Li, he walked ahead of the others. Combined with the respectful attitude of Zhang Li and his father towards Yang Haoran, it indicated Yang Haoran's significant status. Hence, all eyes eventually focused on him.
Although everyone's gaze converged on Yang Haoran, so recognized him, so didn't, and so found him familiar but couldn't recall where they had seen him before.
"Uncle! What brings you here?"
A woman's voice suddenly rang out, filled with strong surprise. From her words, it was evident that she knew Yang Haoran and hadn't expected him to appear here at this mont.
Following the voice, Yang Haoran saw a woman waving at him excitedly. Surprisingly, it was Ma Ling.
Yang Haoran was a bit surprised to see Ma Ling here, but he quickly understood why she was here, and his surprise faded away.
Since the trouble Zhang Family encountered this ti was related to ghosts, and Ma Family, like Zhang Family, was one of the two major exorcist families in Ancheng, it was reasonable for Zhang Family to invite Ma Family to assist them.
"Haha, just ca to join in the fun," Yang Haoran responded with a smile.
"You really have ti on your hands. It seems that Lecheng is much more peaceful than our Ancheng," Ma Ling said with a smile.
ntioning Lecheng, the Night Watch present imdiately rembered who Yang Haoran was.
"Greetings, divine envoy!"
Several Night Watch bowed respectfully to Yang Haoran. Seeing the Night Watch showing such respect and addressing Yang Haoran as "divine envoy", those who didn't recognize Yang Haoran naturally guessed his identity.
Originally, Zhang Li's father had a slight doubt about Yang Haoran's identity. However, the scene before him completely dispelled his doubts.
Yang Haoran nodded to the Night Watch with a smile and then headed upstairs.
Zhang Li didn't follow Yang Haoran upstairs, not because Yang Haoran didn't want him to, but because he refused to go upstairs himself. He knew what the second floor represented, and it was not a place he should go, so he tactfully stayed on the ground floor.
Yang Haoran didn't insist on bringing him upstairs. Although he didn't know what the second floor represented, he witnessed Ma Ling waiting on the ground floor.
Ma Ling was the jewel of Ma Family's palm. Even with her status, she could only wait on the ground floor, indicating that not everyone could go upstairs.
Of course, it might also be because the matters discussed on the second floor were significant and couldn't be disclosed to too many people.
Regardless of the reason, it was a sensible decision for Zhang Li not to go upstairs, so Yang Haoran didn't insist on taking him up.
Not only Zhang Li, but also Zhang Li's cousin stayed on the ground floor. Only Zhang Li's father and Yang Haoran went upstairs.
As soon as they reached the second floor, Yang Haoran saw Xu ijing. In addition to Xu ijing, he also saw a familiar face, Ma Ling's grandfather, Ma Yuanjin.
In addition to Xu ijing and Ma Yuanjin, there were also two old n and an old woman.
Yang Haoran's appearance imdiately caught the attention of the five of them. Upon seeing that it was Yang Haoran, Xu ijing's lips curved up slightly, showing a hint of a smile, while Ma Yuanjin looked surprised.
As for the other three, they wore puzzled expressions. They didn't recognize Yang Haoran and didn't understand why Zhang Li's father had brought Yang Haoran upstairs.
One of the old n, seeing this, wore a displeased expression on his face. He was about to say sothing to Zhang Li's father when Zhang Li's father quickly gestured to him.
Although the old man was old, he wasn't foolish. He held back his words, and Zhang Li's father took the opportunity to introduce Yang Haoran.
"Dad, this is the Burial Master of Lecheng, Yang Haoran, divine envoy."
The displeased old man was Zhang Changchun, the current head of the Zhang family. When his third son spoke like that, Zhang Changchun's expression of displeasure froze for a mont, then he imdiately reacted, and a smile appeared on his face.
However, his doubts in his heart not only did not disappear but beca even stronger.
How co Yang Haoran, as the Burial Master of Lecheng, ca to Ancheng? Could it be that Lecheng is so peaceful that even their Burial Master from the Yin Division has nothing to do?
Zhang Changchun did not believe that Lecheng was really so peaceful. In the current situation, both Ancheng and Lecheng were in chaos. Yang Haoran, as the Burial Master of Lecheng, should not appear here. So Zhang Changchun was very puzzled by Yang Haoran's arrival and also questioned his identity.
However, he didn't show his doubts on his face. Instead, he smiled with a look of surprise.
"So you are the Yang Divine Envoy of Lecheng. My apologies for not welcoming you properly," Zhang Changchun stood up from his seat, smiling and greeting with clasped hands.
"Haha, I didn't expect to et the Yang Divine Envoy here today. I never even dread of it. It's been a long ti, Yang Divine Envoy!" Ma Yuanjin laughed heartily, also standing up from his seat and saluting Yang Haoran.
With Ma Yuanjin's words, unintentionally confirming Yang Haoran's identity, Zhang Changchun's doubts about Yang Haoran's identity vanished instantly.
Although he no longer doubted Yang Haoran's identity, Ma Yuanjin's admiration made Zhang Changchun smile bitterly because he had never invited Yang Haoran. At the mont, he didn't know how to respond to Ma Yuanjin.
"Hehe, Old Man Ma, long ti no see. You are still as spirited as ever!"
Yang Haoran first smiled at Old Man Ma then turned his gaze to Zhang Changchun.
"Old Man Zhang, I apologize for coming uninvited. I hope you don't mind."
Zhang Changchun laughed heartily, seemingly very happy about Yang Haoran's arrival.
"Haha, the Divine Envoy is too polite. Your visit to our Zhang family is our honor!"
Although the other old man and the old lady didn't know Yang Haoran, as soon as his identity was confird by Ma Yuanjin, they also stood up from their seats and greeted Yang Haoran with smiles.
Xu ijing didn't stand up because she felt there was no need to be overly courteous to Yang Haoran.
"Third Brother, quickly prepare a chair for the Divine Envoy," Zhang Changchun instructed his third son respectfully.
The latter responded respectfully and imdiately prepared a finely crafted wooden chair for Yang Haoran.
"Hahaha, please sit, Divine Envoy Yang. Everyone, please sit. Let's discuss matters slowly."
At Zhang Changchun's invitation, everyone sat back in their seats, including Yang Haoran.
"Why did you co to Ancheng? Considering the current situation, it's best not to wander around too much to avoid any big losses later on," Xu ijing spoke as soon as Yang Haoran sat down.
Zhang Changchun intended to ask Yang Haoran about the purpose of his visit, but before he could speak, Xu ijing preempted him.
Xu ijing's approach was quite straightforward, but her question happened to be what Zhang Changchun wanted to ask, so he simply held back his words and waited with a smile for Yang Haoran's response.
"I ca to Ancheng to find you. I heard you ca to the Zhang family and heard that the Zhang family seed to have encountered so trouble. I couldn't help but worry, so I ca to see for myself. If there's anything I can help with, I'm willing to do my part," Yang Haoran responded with a smile. His words delighted Zhang Changchun but made Xu ijing furrow her brow.
