"Brother Xu, you're being too polite," Zhuo Yihang smiled, pulling Xu Zimei along to walk to the side without further ado.
"Being out and about, finding someone as enthusiastic and kind as Brother Zhuo has become rare," Xu Zimei sighed.
...…
This Zhuo Yihang seemed to have quite a high status.
Many disciples they encountered along the way took the initiative to greet him.
Moreover, he had carved out a cave on one side of this valley.
This was where he lived.
It was evident that these people had already been here for some time.
However, the Seventh Elder of the True Martial Holy Sect had only arrived after participating in the competition ceremony, that much Xu Zimei could confirm.
Xu Zimei and another followed Zhuo Yihang inside the cave.
The cave was fairly well-lit, with Luminous Pearls embedded into the walls on both sides.
There was a stone table and four stone stools inside.
A pot of tea was placed on the table.
