Baili Xi hadn't expected this man to recognize her with just a single glance. She curved her lips slightly in a faint smile. "I remember you used to be Hongguan's apprentice."
Chen Pi nodded and glanced at Xie Yuchen beside him. "I was too rebellious and later became Fourth Master of The Nine Gates, so Master expelled me from the sect. Looking back now, the old man had a good eye; the apprentice he kept was naturally able to inherit his legacy."
Baili Xi glanced at Xie Yuchen. "You aren't bad either, otherwise Hongguan and his wife wouldn't have treated you like their own biological child." Having said that, she didn't want to dwell on the topic any further. She looked around the room and said, "I heard you're heading into the mountains. I'm bringing some people along—Fourth Master wouldn't mind, would he?"
