Gu Xijiu replied with a tight smile. "That is great."

At nightfall, the moon's radiance filled the dark sky. At the residence of the governor of Suiye City, there was a tranquil backyard. The dismal wind could be heard through the bushes of purple bamboo.
In the depths of the bamboo garden stood a man in black robes. His face was unrecognizable under a mask with disturbing, ghostly features. His aura, however, was strong and definitely unapproachable.
"Master!" A man with pale green robes emerged in a rush. He bowed before the man in the ghostly mask.
"Rise."
"Yes."
"Master, what is the matter that has brought you here in the depth of the night?"
"Has anything odd happened in the city recently?"
"Yes, General Leng recently celebrated his son's birthday at Feng Hua Restaurant."
