Li Yan clasped his hands and said, "Senior, we have come from Xianyang and are preparing to ascend the mountain."
He had already noticed that in this blacksmith shop, there was a whirling aura of hot incense, which meant it likely belonged to a craftsman of the Mystical Sect.
"Xianyang..." The blacksmith pondered for a moment, "Do you know Manager Wan from Wensheng Pavilion?"
"Very well, indeed!"
Sha Lifei was quick to chime in, trying to build rapport, "We are particularly close; I even stayed in Shangyi Village for a while, and my older brother also knows Manager Wan."
The blacksmith nodded and said, "Hmm, that's a relationship. Not long ago, Manager Wan sent a batch of drums up the mountain and just left yesterday after coming down."
"Ah, what a pity, to have missed him..."
With the reference to Manager Wan, they quickly became familiar with each other.
