Fang Han was slightly startled. An invitation personally sent by Fang Hong, the number one ranked disciple of the Inner Hall?
He took the gilt-edged invitation. It was cool to the touch and made of an extraordinary material.
The invitation felt heavy in his hand. The golden powder cloud patterns on its edges seemed to flow with a dark light under the glow of the Martial Arts Room, highlighting its unusual nature.
Opening the invitation, he was met with a faint scent of ink, similar to sandalwood but colder and sharper.
Inside, the calligraphy was sharp and powerful, as if etched into the page. The message was concise yet revealed a great deal of information:
[We sincerely invite Brother Fang Han to a gathering on the fifteenth of this month at Moon Embracing Lake, outside the city, to discuss the Martial Dao and befriend one another through martial arts—
Respectfully, the Five Heroes of Liangshui: Fang Hong, Lin Ao, Yue Lingtian, He Qingyan, and Sun Qing.]
