Wang Ba, though perplexed, was never one to snub others and quickly called out with a broad smile from afar:
"Martial Uncle Qu, have you been well?"
Upon hearing Wang Ba's greeting,
some cultivators around who were not familiar with Wang Ba couldn't help but wear a strange look, turning their eyes towards him.
Even Cui Daqi, Ma Shengxu, and others close to Wang Ba showed a slight change in expression.
Qu Shentong was no exception.
His face wore a hint of surprise but soon, a smile appeared.
He nodded slightly:
"All is well."
After speaking, he gestured towards the grand hall of Chunyang Palace and then led the way inside.
After he left, Wang Ba immediately turned to Cui Daqi and the others and asked in a low voice:
"Martial Uncles, why does it seem like everyone is reluctant to interact with Martial Uncle Qu?"
He was not a dull person; the looks from the people around him and their attitude towards Qu Shentong made the anomaly clear to him.
