When Huang Mingli heard Han Li's desire to depart, he agreed with an embarrassed smile. He then flew off to the east on his magic tool while Han Li leisurely followed after him with a calm expression.
As Huang Mingli flew, he turned his head to steal a glance at Han Li's face, and carefully asked, "Senior's face is quite unfamiliar. Have you been in secluded cultivation for a long time? Junior might've heard of your name before!"
Han Li casually said, "My surname is Li. I've remained in my cave residence for secluded cultivation until recently, when I finally formed my core. It isn't surprising that Fellow Daoist Huang hadn't heard of me before." Of course, Han Li didn't give his real name.
The small old man didn't notice anything amiss from Han Li, and could only speak words of congratulations despite still holding a few doubts in his heart.
