Wei Fan then stood up and gave He Song and Qing Feng a deep bow.
At the same time, Meng Guan also rose to his feet without hesitation and bowed deeply as well.
Seeing this,
He Song quickly helped the two men to their feet and began to speak.
"Do not be so formal," he said.
"If we carry on like this, it will seem as though the three of us have grown distant."
"Brother Wei has helped me a great deal many years ago, so it is only right for me to come here today to repay the favor."
"I vividly remember, outside Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, the cries of battle were deafening, and it was Brother Wei who shielded me with his own body."
"Today, after enduring many hardships, Brother Wei is finally on the brink of his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, and thus taking on the role of protector is something I cannot shirk from."
"Besides, if only Lao Meng were here to act as protector, even if I were in reclusive cultivation elsewhere, I would not be at ease."
