In his hand, he held a black spirit talisman, the very one Zhao Sheng had activated earlier.
The middle-aged man looked at the uninvited guest with a mixture of surprise and suspicion, sizing him up before asking in a deep voice, "Who are you, and why do you possess this talisman?"
Zhao Sheng spoke in an indifferent tone, "Where is Zhao Jingyun?"
Upon hearing the name Zhao Jingyun, the middle-aged man was startled, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Who is Zhao Jingyun? You must be mistaken. This place is the ancestral land of the Xuan Family; I've never heard the name Zhao Jingyun here."
Zhao Sheng's lips twitched slightly as he counter-questioned, "Has Zhao Jingyun never mentioned that he has a senior brother?"
The white-haired middle-aged man was initially taken aback but then his expression cleared, showing a look of surprise and delight as he asked eagerly,
"Could it be that you are Master Zhen Yan? Please, come in and let's talk!"
