"So it's Senior Brother Qi, back from Yan?"
The cultivator with gray hair was indeed Qi Yan.
Noticing Tang Ji's less-than-warm demeanor, Qi Yan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Just as he was about to say something, Yao Wudi, who was standing next to him, heartily laughed and commented:
"Why if it isn't Junior Brother Qi, we owe you a thank you this time!"
"Huh?"
Qi Yan was taken aback.
Quite perplexed.
Thank me?
What did he do?
Qi Yan quickly pondered, but he couldn't make heads or tails of it.
However, unlike Tang Ji, he dared not harbor arrogance towards Senior Brother Yao who was highly revered. He quickly made a modest salute to Yao Wudi and probing, said:
"Aren't you typically cultivating in Chen State or Wanfa Peak? Why would you come here today?"
Yao Wudi gestured with his mouth towards Wang Ba and replied cheerfully:
"Well, I picked up an acolyte during my travels, so I just so happened to return to the sect!"
Understanding dawned on Qi Yan.
