In the dead of night, when all was silent, Ji Fan, serving as the Great Mage of the West Pole Sect in Central Earth, would teach the followers by day and dine with the local officials by night.
After fulfilling his social obligations, he returned to his residence.
His grand hall was splendidly decorated, and every night the candles illuminated it as brightly as day.
There were usually maids to tend to him, but today they were nowhere to be seen, not coming to greet him or help him wash up and change clothes immediately.
Ji Fan felt somewhat displeased. After entering the house, he first went to offer incense to his Guardian Divine Demon.
