"Senior Brother."
Qian Jiang bowed and said, "Junior Brother has already prepared a banquet to welcome Senior Brother. Please, move this way."
"This time, let's not."
Yan Zhongli gently shook his head, "It's not that I'm rebuffing your kindness, it's just that this time, in rescuing people from that demon, several days have already been delayed. I cannot stay here any longer; otherwise, it would be hard to explain if I return too late."
Qian Jiang understood, nodded, and did not insist further.
According to the usual itinerary, Yan Zhongli still had more than ten commanderies to visit. If he were to stop at each commandery, he definitely wouldn't be able to return to the Mountain Gate on time.
"In that case, Junior Brother will not keep Senior Brother any longer."
Qian Jiang reached out and took out a roster with detailed records of each disciple's origin and background.
