"Shouldn’t there be more than just the Tiger Bone Token?" Ran Lei was somewhat excited. This was indeed his father’s token, made with a special technique that couldn’t be imitated by others—it was the token of their Huaka Tribe’s chief.

"Of course, you also have to mention my old name." Dao Xuzi chuckled, "Ming Xu." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Senior," Ran Lei suddenly bowed with both hands.

"What’s going on?" Dao Xuzi took a step back and casually pulled Gu Qingheng’s sleeve, "Is my name so famous? Can people recognize me even in these remote mountains and forests?"

Gu Qingheng rolled his eyes and pushed his hand away disdainfully. They recognize the Tiger Bone Token, it’s not about knowing you!

"I’m Ran Anong’s son, Ran Lei," Ran Lei no longer hid his identity. "My father once told us that whenever someone comes with the Tiger Bone Token and mentions the senior’s name, we must assist them to the fullest extent. I didn’t expect to encounter you here."

"Are you the little kid from back then?" Dao Xuzi blinked, "That’s not right, even though you’ve used a disguise technique, you don’t look a day over twenty-five."

Ran Lei’s mouth twitched, and he raised a hand to touch his face. Although his disguise technique wasn’t perfect, he had smeared his face with a unique potion from Miaojiang, changing the color of his skin and making it look rougher. He’d even fashioned a bump on his face, so even standing in front of his father might not reveal him. Yet this old man saw through it immediately. One had to admit he was an expert: "Grandpa, what sharp eyes! But how did you notice it?"

"The moment that little guy showed up, I noticed. He’s disguised too," Dao Xuzi pointed at Arang, "Green Juice Grass can fool others, but not me." He sniffed, "Actually, you don’t even need to look; the smell of Green Juice Grass alone is hard enough to stomach."

Ran Lei also sniffed; Green Juice Grass had no smell!

"Alright," Dao Xuzi waved his hand, "You guys can’t smell it."

"Senior," Ran Lei cupped his fists again, "I am ashamed. By right, meeting a senior should be accompanied by good wine and food for hospitality, but now I can’t do it. Moreover, we can’t even return to our tribe. So, I ask for your forgiveness."

"What exactly happened?" Dao Xuzi frowned.

Ran Lei exchanged a look with Ayang and then explained everything that happened in Miaojiang, making sure not to reveal Ayang’s identity.

Although they had the Tiger Bone Token, so many years had passed. Back then, this person had done a favor for Ran Anong, but who knew if he was a good person or a bad one now? His father had also said that if this person came back demanding those evil deeds in exchange for that favor, they shouldn’t agree.

"Since I was once a close guard to the king, the people of the Flame Sect won’t let me go. That’s why I escaped with my wife and children," Ran Lei sighed, "I just don’t know if the tribe is implicated now."

Ayang kept her head down, feeling a bit nervous.

"Is she your wife?" Dao Xuzi frowned, "Your wife is still a maiden, how could she have children?"

"Senior, you..." Ran Lei grew alert again.

Ayang also widened her eyes nervously at the people in front, clutching the dagger inside her clothes.
