A figure stood at Wang Qiang's doorway.
The person was over two meters tall, draped in a cloak that concealed their face.
"Chu Feng, Master Liu Kuo."
"You… you're here to find Wang Qiang too?" the figure asked first.
Despite their imposing height and mysterious air, their voice and tone were surprisingly gentle.
Moreover, they had clearly heard of Chu Feng and Liu Kuo beforehand, otherwise they wouldn't have recognized them at a glance.
"We are indeed here for Wang Qiang. Are you as well?" Chu Feng asked.
"Mm." The figure nodded.
"Then may I ask who you are?" Chu Feng asked.
"I am Yuwen Yanri, a member of the Divine Body Celestial Mansion, same as Wang Qiang."
As the figure spoke, they lowered their hood, revealing a deathly pale face — and as for the rest of the face…
It was far too thin, truly skin stretched over bone, like a skeleton.
Most notably, it wasn't even hot here, yet drenched in sweat.
"I'm sorry. I'm a bit frightening to look at."
"If you don't mind."
The figure quickly spoke again, hand already moving toward the hood.
They had removed the hood as a courtesy. Now they intended to put it back on, afraid of unsettling Chu Feng.
But they still asked Chu Feng and Liu Kuo first.
This person was remarkably courteous.
Yet this person was none other than Yuwen Yanri.
Chu Feng had heard of him — the current Master of the Divine Body Celestial Mansion's own grandson, whose father had once been a prodigy who roamed the vast cultivation world.
Rumor held that Yuwen Yanri's talent surpassed even his father's.
But Yuwen Yanri had always been shrouded in mystery; even within the Divine Body Celestial Mansion, very few had ever seen him.
Chu Feng truly hadn't expected that Yuwen Yanri would be such a humble person.
Because he was so rarely seen, Chu Feng's first impression of Yuwen Yanri was a very favorable one.
"I actually don't mind how you look. But if it bothers you, feel free to cover up," Chu Feng said.
"Thank you." Yuwen Yanri pulled the hood back up, seemingly still preferring to conceal his appearance.
"You have business with Wang Qiang?" Chu Feng asked.
"There's something wrong with Wang Qiang's body. I'm worried about him," Yuwen Yanri said.
"Do you know what the problem is?" Chu Feng asked.
He had already guessed that Wang Qiang's issue likely had to do with the Blood-devouring Demon Lord, but he still wanted to probe Yuwen Yanri for any additional information.
"It's something related to his cultivation, I think. I don't know the specifics," Yuwen Yanri said.
"Then let's go in together," Chu Feng said.
"This humble monk will stay out of it. You two go on ahead." Liu Kuo activated the formation to open the entrance to Wang Qiang's dwelling, then promptly left.
After Chu Feng and Yuwen Yanri entered, they found Wang Qiang cultivating within his training grounds.
He was deeply absorbed in his practice — even with Chu Feng and Yuwen Yanri standing right beside him, he hadn't noticed them at all.
Based on Chu Feng's observation, Wang Qiang's current condition appeared to be perfectly fine.
"Don't worry. He's fine."
