章 1922: Bai Wanzhao

Alex was more than a little surprised when the house he was brought to turned out to belong to the 2nd highest-ranking disciple of the whole sect. Even from the outside, the courtyard was much larger and much better looking, not different from a small palace.

There was a small garden at the front with aromatic flowers blooming on every plant and a tiny pond at the side with a few golden fish swimming within it.

A man walked out from inside, one whom Alex had seen in the Poison Assembly before, but always from far away. He wore an almost pure blue robe with just a hint of green toward the top, meant to show just how close he was to being at the very top.

This man was the 2nd highest-ranking disciple of the sect, Bai Wanzhao.

He had blue eyes dark brown hair, and a look that made Alex feel that he needed to be on his toes around this person.
