As he spoke, someone pushed the door of the private room open again.
Dressed in black, Xiao Zhen entered the room with a cold, handsome face. Chi Yang was the first to stand up. “Lord Xiao Zhen.”
Bai Zhou stood up and looked at Xiao Zhen. “Once you enter, there’s no need to even turn on the air conditioner.”
Ever since Xiao Zhen treated Wang Yunmei’s illness, Bai Zhou had never seen him again. It had been almost two months.
Xiao Zhen was indifferent to Bai Zhou’s teasing. Instead, he looked at Yun Buyao.
With Yun Buyao’s reputation, even someone like Xiao Zhen, who didn’t watch much television, knew her. He immediately frowned, suspecting that one of the twelve guards Bai Zhou mentioned was this woman.
Yun Buyao stood up. The person in front of her had a stony expression and a stern aura. He was identical to the Xiao Zhen whom Bai Zhou mentioned. Yun Buyao already understood.
When Bai Zhou saw this, he said, “Let me introduce the doctor with the ghost hand, Xiao Zhen!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he said to Xiao Zhen, “Jade-eyed fox, Yun Buyao.”
Yun Buyao smiled as a greeting. Xiao Zhen also nodded. The two of them could be said to have known each other now.
They sat down one after another. Yun Buyao did not feel embarrassed by Xiao Zhen’s words. Bai Zhou had mentioned Xiao Zhen to her more than once, so she was already mentally prepared for this doctor who could snatch someone from the King of Hades.
Yun Buyao said with a smile, “In that case, I’m the only person present who hasn’t seen the Sect Master?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Buyao immediately felt unbalanced.
Even Chi Yang had seen the Sect Master, but she, one of the twelve guards, had never seen her before.
Most importantly, she was ranked higher than Bai Zhou and Xiao Zhen.
Bai Zhou shrugged helplessly. “I had no choice. Without the Sect Master’s orders, I can’t bring you to see her.”
Xiao Zhen also said, “Sect Master’s mother had a terminal illness, which was why I was recommended. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance.”
Yun Buyao: “…”
She was speechless for a moment. Both of them had good reasons, so she couldn’t argue.
However, interest filled Bai Zhou’s eyes. “You can check her out yourself. With your abilities, it shouldn’t be difficult to achieve it.”
Yun Buyao rolled her eyes at him. “Cut the crap.”
Check the Sect Master in private? Was she tired of living?
The core goal of the twelve guards was to pledge their loyalty to the Sect Master. Without the Sect Master’s orders, they could do nothing out of line.
It was fine if the Sect Master did not appear in the past, but now that the prophet found the Sect Master, they had to behave themselves and only listen to the Sect Master’s orders.

These rules were engraved in the bones of everyone in the ancient sect. No one dared to violate them.
Bai Zhou was naturally joking as well, so he immediately laughed it off.
Xiao Zhen looked at the time and said calmly, “Isn’t there another person?”
Yun Buyao chimed in, “That’s right. Didn’t you say that four of the twelve guards would be present today?”
Bai Zhou came back to his senses and looked at the time.
It was already past the agreed time. Why was he not here yet?
He looked at Chi Yang and said, “Contact him.”
Chi Yang nodded and walked out of the private room with his phone.
After a while, he returned and whispered something in Bai Zhou’s ear.
When Bai Zhou heard this, he frowned slightly. He looked at Chi Yang and said, “Look at the good place you’ve chosen!”

Chi Yang blinked and looked aggrieved.
