The rays of the rising sun entered the window, illuminating the insides, and morning birds chirped.

The door silently opened, without issuing any creaking sound at all.

He Yiming walked out of the room. Before his feet landed outside, Xie Mingjin was already before him, “Mr. He, you are awake.”

This moment, Xie Mingjin’s face didn’t have a trace of the arrogance that he had in the forest. After learning that He Yiming had killed the two long-armed racc.o.o.ns relying on his own strength, whether it was him or the seven attendants, they all now viewed He Yiming as a celestial being.

In Xie Grace’s words, even if all the three tenth layer experts of the family joined hands, they could only fight the two long-armed racc.o.o.ns to a standstill. Wouldn’t it be same as saying that He Yiming could easily deal with the clan’s three top experts?

Before such strength, Xie Mingjin simply couldn’t hold arrogance in any aspect.

Throwing a surprised glance at him, He Yiming smiled and said, “Brother Xie, you are up quite early. You wouldn’t be waiting here specifically for me, would you?”

Xie Mingjin’s face turned slightly red as he said, “Mr. He, father asked me to await you here sir.”

“Where is Mr. Xie?”

“Father is in the lobby, awaiting you to join him for breakfast.”

He Yiming faintly nodded and followed after Xie Mingjin.

After killing the two long-armed racc.o.o.ns and obtaining the pulpless fruits, He Yiming followed Xie Grace and the rest down the mountains.

Under the lead of people that were familiar with that section of the forest, he only had to spend one day to get out of the forest. Subsequently, after crazily steering their horses through the day, they arrived in the Fire Crow country’s capital, Downwind city.

Downwind city was obviously far incomparable to the insignificant county town of the Tai Cang county. The city wall was as high as fifteen meters, and the city was quite vast. Reportedly, the permanent residents of the city exceeded the mark of thirty thousand. Adding in inflow and outflow, the city’s population measured above forty thousand.

Xie family, one of the four reputed influential families of Fire Crow country, owned a large manor in the city, which sustained 2000-3000 people.

Xie Grace’s status in the family was extremely high, having a independent courtyard for his bloodline. Due to arriving quite late in the night, the group hadn’t immediately announced their arrival and had instead gone to rest.

He Yiming naturally received the best guest room. After spending three months in the forest, this was his first time sleeping on a bed. However, he was awakened by Xie Mingjin arriving at his door.

Although Xie Mingjin had been cautious to the utmost, softening his footsteps as much as possible, how could it escape past the current He Yiming?

Knowing that someone was waiting for him outside, He Yiming’s skin had not thickened enough to ignore the latter. Moreover, seeing that the color of the sky had started to brighten, he left the bed.

The two seemed to be walking shoulder by shoulder. However, Xie Mingjin’s appearance seemed slightly rushed and body faintly inclined towards He Yiming, as if escorting the latter.

En route, all the servants who saw this scene were left rubbing their eyes, as if having a hard time believing their eyes.

In the clan, the family head, Xie Nuanhang, wholeheartedly pursued the martial dao and never married.

Although Xie Grace was the second lord, his son, Xie Mingjin, was the big young master of the clan. Although this young master was not the best candidate for the position of clan leader due to his straightforward temperament, he was loved dearly by the second lord, and thus, was quite haughty in the clan. Therefore, his current submissive appearance seemed quite unbelievable to everybody.

Soon after, they arrived before the lobby.

As soon as He Yiming entered, Xie Grace stood up and brightly said, “Brother He, did you sleep well last night?”
