Lord Yanshan made no attempt to conceal anything, simply nodding, "If it weren't for these ten days of free time, it would have taken several days just to come to 'Wansui Mountain' and back, so how could we have gathered here?"
A name came to mind, but Gao Wenyuan didn't say it aloud because it was meaningless. He just smiled faintly, "So it seems that he must have other plans for 'Xuehai' as well."
