"May I ask if those on the ship are fellow cultivators from the Wanyun Sect?"
Even before the two cloud boats drew near, a hearty laugh came from the Sea Watch Sect:
"Disciple Bu Linhai of the Sea Watch Sect has come to guide the way for fellow cultivators of the Wanyun Sect!"
On our side, seeing Li Ping'an look towards Gu Qingcheng, who seemed unruffled, I noticed a hint of slight nervousness in the sword cultivator.
Gu Qingcheng stepped back a few paces, reached out and tugged at Li Ping'an's sleeve, and whispered, "What should we reply with?"
Li Ping'an frowned at him.
Isn't this guy usually quite talkative?
And now he's at a loss for words at a crucial moment?
Li Ping'an muttered back, "The volume of your voice represents the honor of the sect, and the strength of your breath represents the demeanor of the sect. They're likely here to provoke us, so we must dominate them in spirit first."
"Hahaha! Good!"
