”Don't worry, Brother Han,” Ye Shuang said seriously. ”After I arrange everything, I'll come back to find you.”

Han Chu nodded. He opened his lips, wanting to say something more, when Master Five walked out from the room with a smile. ”If Master Eight is free, girl, why don't you give him a message for me? Tell him, after I'm free here, I would be happy to welcome an old friend to come visit.”

Old friend? Ye Shuang blinked continuously. ”Now that you mention it, I thought your name was rather unique, Master Five. Is it related to some sort of ranking?”

Han Chu turned his head over silently.

”Master Eight didn't tell you the story?” Master Five laughed. ”How our names came to be is a long story, but it is true that we had no history at the beginning.”

Yes, Ye Shuang also thought the two probably did not know each other. Ye Shuang thought back to what Su Zheng had told her about the origin of Master Eight's name. It was not related to any ranking. It was because Master Eight only had eight fingers, and that was how he got his name. Therefore, when she heard that the boss here had the title Master Five, Ye Shuang naturally did not think it was possible that Master Five had some sort of relationship with Master Eight. The numbers in their names was merely a coincidence.

But Master Five promised to help so easily, and now he wished to invite Master Eight over—it was hard to believe that the two did not have some kind of relationship.

Han Chu's look at Ye Shuang was dumbfounded. He did not want to have some kind of accident during this curious moment, so he added rather calmly, ”Master Eight didn't tell us many things, and we juniors do not know much about the history. But Xiao Shuang will help relay Master Five's words. We will come and tell you when we get a reply.”

Then he gave a look to Ye Shuang. Go and find Su Zheng to update this man's information!

Ye Shuang was not under heavy surveillance when she left Nature Village. Since she came out of Master Five's place, the villagers gave her face, and she left the village with ease. Then… the first thing she did was call Su Zheng.

When the call was accepted, Ye Shuang directly asked, ”Who is Master Five?”

Initially, she and Han Chu did not think about asking her that. After all, even though Master Eight's name had proven useful, Su Zheng was not as experienced as her master—she did not know as many people as Master Eight.

Since they had heard that Master Eight belonged to the same category as Master Five, then they should know each other quite well. In that case, it would be rather natural for Su Zheng, the disciple, to know a thing or two about the other.

As she expected, Su Zheng was shocked. ”Sister Shuang, you know Master Five? The man is still alive?”

”…” Ye Shuang fell speechless at the reaction. ”Why would you say that?”

Su Zheng was silent for a moment, appearing to be thinking. ”I've heard of this Master Five from my teacher. I wonder if you've met the same person. If this is the man that Master Eight knew, the last thing I heard was that he took his disciples into hiding about thirty years ago… you met him?”

Ye Shuang thought about it seriously. ”Does this Master Five that you know have any special physical attributes? I think we are talking about the same one, but I can't be sure… Oh, he also wishes to see your teacher in person.”
