The young man did not linger outside the house, bypassing the outer room filled with the scent of incense and heading straight to an inner room.

This young man in white martial arts attire was named Pei Zheng, while the old man in front of him, in linen, was Pei Cangshan, the former Family Head of the Pei Family.
"Zheng'er, how are things progressing on that side?" Pei Cangshan put down the ancient text in his hands and raised his head to ask.
