“Father, this is what happened. Now that you’re awake, I’m ready to go to the City Lord Manor to look for the Ghost Doctor.” Patriarch Hong said with a smile, as he looked at his Father, who was lying on the bed with a smile on his face.

“Fine, you go ahead! This is a rare opportunity for our Hong Family, and also from the virtue that we have accumulated, otherwise, such good things won’t happen to our Hong family.” Although Old Patriarch Hong was awake, his voice was still very weak, but even so, his speech was very clear.

“Yes, I understand.” Patriarch Hong said. He instructed the servants to take good care of his Father, then he got up and left the courtyard. He went back to the main courtyard and prepared, then he brought a few people with him out of the Manor and went to the City Lord Manor.

Not long after he left, people from several noble families arrived at the Hong Family Manor. When the several noble families bumped into each other at the main entrance, they smiled sheepishly at each other.

“Good morning everyone, you’re all so early!”

“Hehe, Brother Chen is also very early.”

“It appears we all have the same thoughts.”

After exchanging some pleasantries, they entered together. However, when they sat in the main hall waiting for the arrival of Patriarch Hong, they saw a Great Elder of the Hong Family coming into the hall instead.

“Patriarchs, I’m so sorry.” The Great Elder smiled and folded his hands and bowed to them with a smile, then said: “Your timing is unfortunate, our Patriarch went out early this morning and he won’t be back till later.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed slightly, and they asked: “May we ask where Patriarch Hong went? What time will he be back?”

“Patriarch went to the City Lord Manor, but he didn’t say what time he would be back.” The Great Elder of the Hong Family said with a smile: “If Patriarchs have nothing to attend to at home, you can wait here. But if you are busy, you can come back another time.”

The Patriarchs looked at each other, then said: “Since this is the case, we will wait here!”

“That’s fine, I will order the servants to bring some cakes.” He nodded slightly, and walked out.

The Patriarchs took the opportunity of him being away to discuss: “He went to the City Lord Manor so early in the morning, he must have gone to see the red-clothed woman.”

“Yes, that seems most likely. If he has gone to see her, he should be back by noon at the latest.”

“In that case, let’s wait here for a while so we don’t have to come again!”

While they were speaking, the Great Elder came back into the hall again. He sat at the left side and drank tea and talked to the Patriarchs. After all, since the Patriarch was not at home, he still had the duty to look after their guests.

On the other side, upon arriving at the City Lord Manor, Patriarch Hong was invited inside. A Patriarch of another family who saw him entering also tried to enter, but was refused entrance.

“But Patriarch Hong went in, why can’t our Patriarch go in?” A middle-aged man said in dissatisfaction.

“Patriarch Hong is a distinguished guest who has been invited to come. Everyone else is not allowed to enter the City Lord Manor.” The city guard said in a calm voice. He refused to let them enter and told them to leave quickly.

Upon seeing this, the Patriarch pondered for a while, then he turned around and headed for the Hong Family.
