"Brother Ning, what sect are you from?" a person in the group asked.
"Oh, I am from the Blue Dragon sect of Deepskull island," he answered truthfully. Just in case someone from the group knew his clothing or had seen him before, he didn't want the girl to be tipped off about him not being truthful.
"Are you one of their strongest?" another person asked.
"Uhh… I'm in the top 5 for sure," Ning answered.
"Brother Ning, why do you walk so slowly?" someone else asked.
"Ah, I was injured when fighting a monster two days ago. My ribs were nearly broken and it hurts when I make sudden movements or move too fast," Ning said.
"Oh, what monster was this?" a person asked in surprise.
"A serpent monster. It only attacked me once and I was thrown far away with broken ribs," he said.
