Lord of the Court

While the Namjung family welcomed Hao Lin, Tin Tin, and Nua's daughter,

the head of the Namjung family stood in the back, looking at Fan, who was standing next to the carriage, confused: What is the master of one of the four great powers doing here? Fan's presence here was like that of the master of a demonic sect or the emperor of the Western Empire.

Hao Lin and his sister greeted their father, and even Nua's daughter, with great respect.

Sheng Namjung returned the greeting in a manner befitting his status as the head of the family,

then said:

"It's been a while since I've spoken with you, Hao Lin. How about you and your friend sit down in my office?"

Hao Lin agrees and they head to Xing's office,

while the others go to the family's main hall. Their house is bustling with activity, with servants running around everywhere, some carrying food, others running empty-handed.

At the top of the house is the family patriarch's office,

a room with white walls and a huge window overlooking the city of Green Sword.

Hao, Fan, and Xing are sitting around a table with steaming tea and incense sticks burning on either side.

Xing speaks and greets Fan:

"I'm sorry I didn't greet the lord of the court earlier, I just didn't want to cause a commotion."

Fan replied without any obvious expression:

"It's okay, I didn't want to cause a disturbance either, and besides, I didn't come here as the lord of the court, I'm just here as a man named Fan."

Hao Lin speaks up:

"Actually, the Supreme Court Judge has left the court walls for the first time, wanting to know his origins."

Xing replies:

"I understand. Also, if you need any help, the family will be happy to assist you as long as it does not violate any known treaties."

Then he continues:

"What do you think, Your Honor, shall I show you more of the family home? You, Hao Lin, can go and reminisce with your mother, she has missed you very much."

Hao replies with a smile:

"Haha, yes, I think I haven't spoken to her in a while. Then I'll leave you to talk some more."

He leaves, and everyone exits the room. Hao Lin goes to the courtyard where his sister and mother are sitting, while Fan and Xing begin to move around the house.

Hao Lin arrives at the main courtyard and sees his sister sitting and drinking tea with his mother beside a clear lake with fish swimming beneath it.

The daughter of the Nua family was also sitting with them, sipping tea.

When he joined them, the lady of the family hugged her son again, and they sat talking for a while, until his mother asked,

"Oh, I remember, who was that masked man with you?"

Haw replied:

"Ah, he's a friend I met a little while ago. His name is Fan. He's a good person, although he's a little strange sometimes."

His mother laughed and said:

"Haha, he seems like a fun companion... isn't he, my dear niece Sina?"

Sina replies:

"Of course, he seems like a companion full of interesting stories."

Suddenly, three women enter from an inner gate, led by a woman in a loose, slightly transparent white dress, with pink hair, wide white eyes, and a long white sword on her back.

To her left is a girl with dark black hair, tired, indifferent black eyes, dark clothes with some thin red lines, and a completely black sword at her side.

To her right is a girl in gray clothes, black hair, large glasses, and a notebook and pen at her sides.

The women greet each other, and the one with pink hair says:

"Greetings, I am Nenia, Sword of the Withered Flower, and leader of the second squad of the Fragrant Tower sect."

The one with black hair says in a calm, cold tone:

"I am Lin Tuan, Black Lotus, second deputy leader, greetings."

The girl with gray hair speaks in a cheerful, shy tone:

"I am Hansan, the Gray Eye of the Second Division."

Those at the table return the greeting, and Ninya expresses that she has come to congratulate the Namjung family on the marriage of their eldest son.

The atmosphere lightens a little after the conversation, then Ninya looks at Hao Lin with annoyance, saying in a voice that is not very audible:

"Why is that damn servant standing with people like us?"

Hansan shouts:

"Ma'am!!" She grabs Ninya's mouth and drags her away from the table a little.

Nenia gets angry and says:

"What are you doing?" Hansan replies:

"My lady, please don't say anything!" Then she turns to the table and says:

"Oh, it's good they didn't hear you."

Nenia says:

"Huh? Are you talking about my comment about that servant?" "

Hansan replies with a sad, disappointed expression:

"Ma'am, you really have the worst first impressions of people. I think if the leader of a satanic cult appeared in front of you, you would think he was a servant!"

Nenia replies:

"What are you talking about?"

Hansan replied with a serious expression:

"Ma'am, the person you call a servant is the greatest talent in Morim in our generation, and a sixth judge in the court, even though he is not yet 22 years old. He is also considered stronger than most family masters and upper demons, and even stronger than one of the Four Evils, the Lady of Lust.

That person ranks 23rd as the strongest human in the world."
