After sending Xiao Yi off, the black-clothed scholar turned back and entered the Main Mansion. Zhang Yan, lying on the couch, slightly opened his eyes and asked, "How did it go?"
The black-clothed scholar bowed and replied, "Reporting to Master, I have agreed with this person on a three-year term. After three years, Xiao He can be handed over to him for a resolution."
He then presented a talismanic script, raising it above his head and placing it before Zhang Yan, saying, "This is a Dharma Contract established by Xiao Yi with his heart's blood as an oath, so Master need not worry about this person reneging."
