Shocking the Crowd
However, unlike the crowd, the elder managed to keep his cool. Moreover, thanks to Xue Bai's gender reveal, he was finally able to guess Li Rou's identity.
"I see! So you must be the famous Young Duke Xue of the Great Xuan Empire. And this senior over here must be the prominent peak Yellow-grade alchemist Duchess Li! Forgive me for not recognizing you earlier." The elder expertly spoke as he gave a curt bow.
Even Xue Bai was slightly surprised by how eloquently the Elder of the Soaring Sword Sect spoke. Usually, people from the Soaring Sword Sect were blunt, rash, and very direct with their interactions.
But this seemed to be the complete opposite. This elder seemed to be extremely social and cultured, to the point where he even gave both Xue Bai and Li Rou elegant titles instead of calling them by their names. Xue Bai started to feel a bit proud of his title.
