Standing beside the road, wealthy individuals were nodding and bowing in greeting to the elderly man, who, with the aid of a walnut wood Dragon-subduing Cane and the support of a woman, slowly approached without so much as glancing at these people by the wayside.
Trailing behind the elderly man and the woman was an extremely burly man, roughly two meters tall and in his early forties, his expression fierce, emanating a presence as imposing as a mountain.
Upon seeing this elderly man, the people of the Qu Family revealed hopeful expressions and respectfully called out, "Great-Uncle!"
This elder was none other than Qu Donglin, who wielded control over the entire Qu Family and presided over the main Qu household. He was the most central figure of the vast Qu Family, holding a high position with disciples and students spread throughout both the military and political spheres.
Qu Huaxu was respectfully stepping forward to welcome him.
