After walking a considerable distance, Lin Jin saluted Chen Xuankong and said, "Thank you!"
Chen Xuankong asked confusingly, "Taoist Lin, what are you thanking me for?"
"We've inconvenienced your sect by letting my friends read the books here." Lin Jin spoke subtly, but Chen Xuankong understood him.
He waved his hand nonchalantly and replied, "Had this been in the past when the difference between sects is vast, we would never have allowed an outsider to have access to our books so easily. Even for the disciples of our sect, only those with specific rankings were granted access. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. After the downfall of our era, the sects have lost most of their disciples, and the number of loose immortals took a hit too. In most cases, we would never have agreed, but today is different. Since they're your friends, it's fine to let them read our books. This is the order we've received from our leader."
Lin Jin now understood why.
