Alex couldn't say that he was surprised to be allowed to go on this trip that was mostly meant only for Pearl. At the same time, he also couldn't be entirely surprised that the Patriarch of the White Tiger did little to stop him.
After how their last meeting had gone, it was clear that the patriarch was not going to push his luck with him.
Alex left his room with Pearl, meeting Bai Jingshen in the hallway outside before walking to the garden at the center of the palace. There, a large group of White Tigers and their family members had gathered, waiting for the most important individual among their group.
Their patriarch.
Bai Zhuqiang wasn't someone they got to see often. The last time he had been publicly seen at all was at least a few dozen millennia ago. He hadn't been in closed cultivation the entire time, but he only ever met with a select group of people, leaving the regular descendants devoid of his presence.
