After September began, Linjiang City had already cooled down. At night, the occasional breeze still carried a bit of chill,
But tonight's wind seemed especially cold,
Cold enough to pierce to the bone.
Zhong Liang had already crumpled the invitation in his hand into a ball. His heart was as cold as can be. He stared at the empty little courtyard, gritting his teeth hard,
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Go notify Lord Gu!"
"Yes."
The subordinate cupped his hands, glanced worriedly at Zhong Liang, and said, "Big Brother, what exactly does Qi Qianyu want?"
Zhong Liang sighed and said, "These people are overseas dragons—we can't afford to provoke them. I don't know exactly what they want, but it's definitely bad for Lord Gu. The games at their level are beyond us now. Let fate decide!"

Under the night sky, Qi Qianyu and his group strolled slowly down the long street.
Soon, someone stepped out from the shadows.
