Yan Xiaobao arrived at the Xiao Mansion in the city, landing in front of the entrance. It was easy for him to descend from the sky, but he did not wish to be rude to a man who was once a good friend.
"Who's there?!" someone shouted, as Yan Xiaobao saw two tall men appear guarding the door. They were at least two meters tall, with broad shoulders, legs like logs, and arms like thick branches. Their muscles bulged beneath bronze-tanned skin, and their faces were full of vigilance.
"I'm Xiao Ning's friend," Yan Xiaobao quickly introduced himself, surprised by the stature of the two tall guards. Although he often met Xiao Ning, the latter would typically come to his mansion, dispatching servants if Yan Xiaobao needed him. This was his first visit to the Xiao Family's home.
"Tell Xiao Ning, Yan Xiaobao is here," he continued, nodding. Hearing Yan Xiaobao's name, the two tall guards looked at him in an entirely different way, an expression of reverence and doubt emerged.
