The yellow-robed guard was momentarily stunned before responding quickly. He glanced at the other guard, then turned and ran into the mansion.
After about half a cup of tea's time, a middle-aged Devil Man dressed in a bright yellow robe emerged from the mansion. He was also evidently a cultivator of the Celestial Phenomenon stage. He sized Liu Ming up and down, his expression showing a trace of surprise.
"An honored guest arrives at my door, yet I failed to welcome you from afar. I hope Taoist Friend Liu will forgive me," the yellow-robed man soon said with a cheerful smile.
"You are too kind. It is I who have come unannounced," Liu Ming replied politely.
The yellow-robed man noticed Liu Ming's cordial tone and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've been informed by the servants that Taoist Friend Liu has come to visit our Family Head. Please, come in," the yellow-robed man said with a laugh, then turned to lead the way.
