And he, himself, would beco Cloud City… No! Rather, within a radius of hundred li!
(TL: li = 5 kilo, Xiao Yunhai had personally led all of the elders to wait at the clan entrance, ready to greet the guests They waited all the way until noon… then… until the afternoon… it wasn’t until five in the afternoon when a Xiao Clan disciple ran back shouting from a distance: “Clan Master!

Everyone’s body shook Xiao Yunhai took a quick step out, bellowing in a low voice: “Quick! Immediately notify everyone to ive anyone who uests! Fellow elders, follow me out to meet them at once!”
Xiao Yunhai ht ahead for more than a li did he finally see four people unhurriedly walking in their direction
Of the four of the man that looked to be about twenty years old with luxurious clothing, a normal build, and mediocre features His white face contained a trace of sallowness, his appearance that of an excessive hedonist As far as looks went, he wouldn’t stand out in the midst of a crowd However, even such an ordinary face was full of wild arrogance and haughtiness His hands were behind his back as he walked, his eyes looking upwards, not even glancing at the occasional passerby, as if even a look would dirty his eyes
Following behind hi, his features calm like water Even further back were two sile pattern was embroidered onto each of their shoulders
