Chen Li hastily offered his modesty.
Xia Hongyi made some courteous remarks and wasn't in a rush to discuss serious matters. He picked up the thread of conversation and chatted about all sorts of things, occasionally inquiring about Chen Li's past experiences. While talking, he compared what he learned with the information he had collected, secretly weighing and observing the other person.
"...I've been hanging around in Green River District before, but later the situation there deteriorated, with demon beasts running rampant. It was only in the past few years that I managed to join the Yu Family's caravan and migrate to Luoluo City." Chen Li knew this was a necessary background check, so he told the truth, his attitude polite yet respectful.
"The Yu Family?"
"They're a Foundation Establishment family that came to Green River District to escape from the chaos of war." Chen Li briefly explained, "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to leave Green River District."
