When Patriarch Hong returned with Feng Jiu to Hong Manor, the steward quickly greeted him and said, “Patriarch, several patriarchs from the city have been waiting in the reception hall for a long time.”

When Patriarch Hong heard this, he looked at Feng Jiu and said, “Ghost Doctor, please first go to the rear courtyard where my father lives. I’ll go have a look first and come back later.”

Feng Jiu nodded and the steward led him to the rear courtyard.

Patriarch Hong walked toward the hall. He heard people talking inside the hall before he even arrived. His eyes flashed slightly as he surveyed the small crowd seated there, not expecting the patriarchs of the major clans to come.

When he noticed the Great Elder accompanying the guests in the reception hall, he walked in and smiled, “How did you find the time to come see me?”

When everyone in the hall saw him, their faces changed. All of them stood up and said, smiling. “Brother Hong, we’ve been waiting so long!”

“Hahaha, I didn’t even know so many of you were here. Forgive me for my rudeness. I would greatly appreciate it if you did not blame me for it.” Patriarch Hong laughed out loud and cupped his fists towards them.

“Brother Hong should know the reason for our visit. So, can Brother Hong clear up our doubts?” One of the patriarchs remarked, his gaze falling on Patriarch Hong.

Patriarch Hong smiled as he heard this.”Are you here to discuss the City Lord Manor?”

The grim-faced Patriarch Yu rose to his feet and proclaimed, “Yes, we are here to discuss the City Lord Manor matter.”

“Oh, it has to do with this matter! I’m afraid I can’t tell you anything right now. What do you think? I believe that in two days, you will know what you want to know without my telling you.” He replied without going into further detail about what they had asked.

Their faces changed as they heard this. It seemed that he would not give them a thorough explanation. A few of them stopped speaking when they noticed this. After all, what could they possibly ask him if he refused to answer?

Patriarch Yu, on the other hand, stood up and clapped the table. “The surnamed Hong, you do not hold us in high regard, do you? Have we been here all day just to hear this answer?”

“Haha….Patriarch Yu, this is indeed something I cannot fully explain. I still have things to take care of. I regret that I cannot sit and discuss things with you. You can return first, and the situation will become clear within two days. I’ll invite you to a delicious meal when the time comes.”

He didn’t look at their faces as he spoke, instead asking Great Elder, “Please help me see off these several patriarchs.”

The elder smiled and rose to his feet. “Don’t worry, Patriarch; I’ll take care of this.” Then he smiled and made an inviting gesture to several of them. “Everyone, please!”

When the other clan patriarchs saw this, they stood up and said, “If that’s the case, we’ll leave first. Farewell.”

They did not stay long, cupping their fists as they left.

Patriarch Yu still wanted to say something, but after seeing Patriarch Hong’s expression, he decided not to and simply walked out of the room while flicking his sleeve.

As soon as they left the hall, Patriarch Hong proceeded to the rear courtyard.

Those few patriarchs leaving the Hong Manor overheard the guards talking outside and learned that Patriarch Hong had returned with the woman dressed in red.

They turned around to look when they heard this. What on earth was the woman in red’s origin? And how did she come to have such a close relationship with the Hong family?
