章節 212: Chapter 212: Stepping Stone

The Enforcement Elder was scared to be near Xu Shan, but he also didn't want to offend the young man anymore than he already did.

He followed after Xu Shan to personally show him around. With the Enforcement Elder accompanying him, no place was off limits for him. It wasn't as if they were off limits for someone like him before but this time, things became more efficient.

"Where's your Clan Head?" Xu Shan asked the Enforcement Elder as he took his first step inside the Mansion.

"Ah, the Patriarch..." The Enforcement Elder was stunned for words. His sudden hesitation made Xu Shan feel that something was off.

"He isn't in the Mansion. He left the city to take care of some matters at a Branch Family in another city." After some time, the Enforcement Elder finally came up with an excuse.

Xu Shan smiled in response.

"You're not particularly good at lying, are you?" he asked, without turning around.
