"Curious, huh," Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow, "But what about it, she’s still my girl."
He paused for a moment and chuckled, "I have secrets too."
"You and Uncle should go home first," Fu Yunshen said, patting her head, "I’ll take care of the Judicial Hall’s issues."
Ying Zijin nodded, took out a 3D-printed human skin mask, and left through the front door in broad daylight.
She wasn’t particularly moved by the selection for the offering, but the other Ancient Martial Arts Families were shaken.
Because they all knew that "Sleeping" was definitely not a real name, but a code name.
There weren’t many in the Judicial Hall who had code names, certainly not more than five.
The most famous one was the code name "Shadow."
All of the major families in the Ancient Martial World knew that Shadow’s status and power in the Judicial Hall were equal to the elders, yet he was not an elder.
His emergence had been a few years ago, quite abrupt, but all the elders tacitly accepted his existence.
Both his subordinates and himself wore masks, never showing their true faces.
Very few knew what Shadow truly looked like.
The only certainty was that Shadow was a young man whose Ancient Martial Cultivation was over a hundred years.
The Xie Family always suspected that Shadow might belong to the Martial Arts Alliance, as not even the Xie Family had cultivated such a young talent.
Patriarch Xie left with a cold face, the air pressure around him low and oppressive.
Lin Jinyun looked at the words "Sleeping," his brows tightly knitted, and he headed into the Judicial Hall.
After receiving permission, he entered.
Lin Jinyun’s attitude was very respectful, "May I ask if this offering has anything to do with you? May I inquire which family it is from?"
Fu Yunshen tilted his head, his mask concealing his eyes and brows, revealing nothing.
His response was teasing, his tone light, "Are you asking me?"

"Hi, Miss Anhe," a blond young man approached gracefully, "I’m Gale, we met last year."
"I remember," Yan Anhe smiled, "Didn’t expect you to be in charge of the exchange this time."
"I’ll graduate next year, so I wanted to visit Hua Country while I still had the chance," Gale said, but then his eyes caught sight of the girl beside the table.
He was dazzled, "Who is this?"
"Her?" Yan Anhe said indifferently, "A biochemistry student, might know a bit of medicine, otherwise Professor Gu wouldn’t have recruited her."
"A biochemistry student?" Gale was quite surprised, "Is your medical school out of people?"
Yan Anhe just smiled, "Who knows."
The door was pushed open again.
The students all sat up straight, including Gale.
Ying Zijin was still holding her cup, she turned to look, pausing for a moment, her eyebrows raised.
The world really was quite small, it was such a coincidence.
