"Ning Brother!" At the gate of the Zheng family estate, Zheng Jian personally came to welcome Ning Zhuo.
It was Ning Zhuo’s first official visit to the Zheng family. The Zhengs had opened the main gate wide for him, a rare honor, especially for someone still at the qi refining stage. Moreover, they had dispatched Zheng Jian himself to greet him.
"Brother Zheng, you've come personally?" Ning Zhuo alighted from the carriage, visibly surprised but deeply moved by the respect he was shown.
Zheng Jian, still heavily bandaged from his injuries, laughed heartily, "Don't let my appearance deceive you. My injuries have stabilized. We of the Zheng family don't let minor wounds deter us from welcoming a friend!"
"Come, let me take you to the artifact refining room."
