"Elder Chen, greetings."
Cha Xiaodao bowed respectfully to Chen Yuewu.
"Ah, I've seen you, seen you, an officer under the Lord Governor, surnamed Cha, right?"
Chen Yuewu looked at Li Yan, somewhat puzzled.
Li Yan spoke from the side: "Though he's called an officer, in truth, he's my sworn brother and we usually make no distinction between you and me. To speak frankly, his ancestors also made their living by the sea. My Uncle Cha was obsessed with the Star-Towing Skill, and he couldn't let it go even before his passing. Meeting Elder Chen today is truly my brother's fate."
Chen Yuewu caught on immediately: "If Officer Cha has intentions, I naturally will withhold nothing and will tell all."
"Then it's settled."
Li Yan clapped his hands: "We're setting off today. Along the way, I'll trouble Elder Chen to enlighten my brother and answer his questions, fulfilling a filial duty on my brother's behalf."
