"Young master, you're awake?"
As Lin Yuan was deep in thought, a voice filled with surprise reached his ears.
Lin Yuan looked up to see an elderly man with a slight hunchback, gazing at him with excitement.
The hunchbacked old man's hair was gray and disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, as though he hadn't rested for a long time. Yet, his whole being emanated a cold, sinister aura, much like a venomous snake waiting to strike.
But when the hunchbacked old man looked at Lin Yuan, his gaze was devoid of any coldness, filled only with joy.
"Uncle Three."
Lin Yuan nodded towards the hunchbacked old man.
In name, the hunchbacked old man was the old servant of Lin Yuan's father, the leader of the Red Lotus Sect.
In reality, they shared an unbreakable bond, addressing each other as brothers in private, and Lin Yuan called the hunchbacked elder 'Uncle Three'.
This time, Lin Yuan was able to escape the court's encirclement thanks largely to his father's diversion of most of the attention.
