It turned out that Bai Chen's father had two masters. One was the aging leader of the Banyan Treasure Vein Pavilion, and the other was one of the founders and directors of the Gold Earth Bank. However, if one looked deeper, it was clear he truly served only one master—the director of the Gold Earth Bank.
According to the report Yang Qing was currently absorbed in, Bai Chen's father had joined the Banyan Treasure Vein Pavilion at the behest of the Gold Earth Bank's director. His mission was to infiltrate the pavilion and lay the groundwork for its eventual absorption into the bank once its leader passed away.
Though renowned at the time, the Gold Earth Bank was neither as widespread nor as powerful as it is today. For one, it lacked a domain expert back then. The records indicated that the bank produced its first domain expert only 700 years ago. Currently, according to the Order's hidden survey report, the bank had three domain experts, though outwardly it claimed to have only one.
