Elder Hou found it funny. "I've seen him before? Could it be that..." Slowly, his smile disappeared.
Then, he cursed Elder Shen in his heart. This old man! He had protected that doctor so well. How could he not invite him to the birthday banquet?
But, had he really seen him before?
Elder Hou carefully recalled the people he had seen at the banquet and eliminated the young ones. Then, there were some older ones who had to fit the image of an expert, someone who looked like a sage.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt his head ache. It was a mess. Very soon, his thoughts were so muddled that he felt as though he had walked into a dead end.
"Yunque, don't keep me in suspense. Are you deliberately making fun of me? Just tell me already." He knocked his head. "I don't have the brain power!"
Huo Yunque smiled and laughed hoarsely.
"It seems far away, but it's right in front of you."
