(MC POV)
Since our new Heaven Sect branch had an anti-teleportation barrier around it, we had to teleport a distance away and make the rest of the journey on foot.
"I hope this won't complicate the merger?" I commented.
Sect Master Qing sighed, "Normally, we would be worrying about the merger being called off under any other circumstances. But because they were the ones submitting to you, they should be the ones worried about such a thing instead."
"Does it actually work that way? I thought they would mention that we failed to protect their emissary or something and level some kind of disadvantage on us. I even thought they might have orchestrated this entire thing themselves."
