All of a sudden, a young man from the White family rushed in and reported, ”Master, Young Master Jack, several people are… are outside, wishing to have an audience with you.”
”Who’d visit our White family at this hour?” Nash frowned before favonovel.com questioned the young man who bore the announcement, ”Only several people came?”
“Yes, and there are only five or six of them, yet they’re acting awfully mysterious!” responded the man with an awkward smile.
Jack frowned as favonovel.com immediately continued asking, ”Mysterious? What do you mean by that?”
”They wear large bamboo raincoats and all of them have hats that cover themselves. It seems as though they don’t want to be recognized,” the man explained.
Deliberating his thoughts, Nash then waved his hand. ”Go and bring them in.”
Once the man who made the report left, the First Elder immediately said, ”It must be somebody from other families who wishes to ask about the stone ball. They must be here to ask if Young Master Jack managed to study anything from it.”
”I don’t think so. They don’t need to cover themselves if that’ s the case,” replied Jack smilingly.
Moments later, those people were led in.
They took off their huge bamboo raincoats and hats after they entered the door.
“The Hemperly family?” Nash slightly frowned upon recognizing the members of the Hemperly family.
”Greetings, Master Nash. Greetings, Young Master Jack and the elders of the White family!” The family master of the Hemperly family immediately led his son to greet Jack and the others politely with a hand gesture.
”Haha! Please, be seated. Serve them tea!” Nash gestured for them to sit down before asking, ”I do wonder what business Master Hemperly has for coming to our White family today?”
The family master of the Hemperly family, Darcy Hemperly, nodded at Nash. ”To be frank, Master White, we’re here to ask for a favor, and we hope that the White family is willing to give us a hand. Of course, we’ll repay your kindness with spirited grass if you’re willing to.”
”You’re here to ask for a favor?” Nash was slightly puzzled. The Hemperly family was a second-class aristocratic family and had been developing nicely for the past few years. The young master of the Hemperly family, Paul Hemperly, could be considered a rare master. The Hemperlys had always been very low-profile and had not offended any other forces, so they did not have many enemies.
No one thus knew why they came to the White family for help.
Darcy stayed quiet for a couple of seconds before speaking up about the situation, ”To be frank, we went to Bright Snow Mountain to test our luck, but none of us expected my son to be so lucky and get the stone ball in the end. Right now, only a couple of people in my family know about this as Paul only informed us about this yesterday.
