"Indeed, I do! Your elder brother, Yun Yunyang, and I once met during a trade in the capital," the middle-aged man in the green robe replied, his tone both warm and respectful. "I am Lin Cheng, a humble servant of the Wangyue Lin family. I have long admired the rise of the Yunyang-led Yun Cang Yun family."
Hearing this, Yun Yunyue dismounted, clasping his fists in a respectful salute. "It is an honor to meet someone from the esteemed Wangyue Lin family. To cross paths here in Yulin County must be fate."
Lin Cheng returned the gesture with a smile. "I couldn't agree more. I've heard whispers of your family's ascension to a cultivation clan. Such progress in so short a time is nothing short of miraculous."
"You flatter us," Yun Yue replied humbly, though a glimmer of pride shone in his eyes. "Our Yun family still has much to learn from your noble house."
