Amon entered the principal's office. Principal Li Niang and Head Tutor Lao Zen were there. Aside from the two, another man was there. Amon had never seen this man before. He was neither a student nor a teacher.
The stranger had the appearance of a middle-aged man. The cultivation of this world made it hard for one to guess another's age, but the man should not be younger than forty years old. Cultivation could prolong one's life but could not reverse one's appearance. The younger someone broke through to a level that prolonged one's life, the younger his or her appearance was preserved.
"Let me introduce. This is Tuang Paluo, the clan head of the Tuang Clan," Principal Li Niang told Amon.
Hearing the name, Amon understood what this was all about.
"… Senior Paluo," Amon gave an honorable salute to the man.
Tuang Paluo did not respond to Amon's salute. He turned to Principal Li Niang and asked, "Is this the student you told me about?"
