Nanyang Sect?
The young couple contemplated for a moment before awkwardly and perfunctorily clasping their hands together: "We've long admired you... It's our honor to relieve Master Zhi Kong of his worries. Please, don't mention thanks again."
The two did not seem to have any intention of engaging in much small talk with Shen Yi. On the contrary, the woman even shot him a wary glance, as if concerned about stealing the limelight from Master Zhi Kong.
An opportunity like this to make connections with disciples of the Bodhi Sect was extremely rare and needed to be well capitalized upon.
If one could get on good terms with the Bodhi Sect, leaving the mountain gates this time wouldn't be for naught, providing some bragging rights once back in their own sect.
