After everyone left.
Sun Zii and the others were still in a daze.
“What on earth is going on?”
Sun Zii looked at the storage ring in his hand, his face was not happy at all, only filled with doubts.
After all.
There must be a reason for these people to bring gifts.
It couldn’t be that they were simply trying to curry favor with them for no reason.
But no matter how hard they tried to figure it out, they couldn’t understand what was happening.
Just then.
A servant rushed in anxiously.
“What’s wrong now?”
Sun Zii couldn’t help but ask.
“Reporting to the Elder, Elders and representatives from the Lake Waves Sect, Thousand Gates Sect, Lingbei Sect, Quyi Sect, Zhanzi Sect, Feiling Sect, and over fifty other sects have arrived at the mountain gate!”
The subordinate said tremblingly.
He had been guarding the gate for so many years and had never seen so many sects gathered together.
“What?”
“Another fifty sects?”
This shocked Sun Zii and the others quite a bit.
But it also made them even more uneasy.
Just after thirty sects had left, now another fifty had arrived, yet they still had no idea what was happening.
But they couldn’t afford to think too much, as there were still fifty elders waiting outside.
One or two they might be able to offend.
But fifty of them? They dared not to be negligent.
Everyone quickly hurried outside to greet them.
As soon as they reached the mountain gate, Sun Zii, accompanied by the other elders, was about to greet them.
But before they could open their mouths.
One of the elders spoke first, “Elder Sun, you’re too kind, there’s no need to co out and greet us personally, we could have just co in ourselves.” ŕ𝓪Ɲ𝘰₿Ę𝘴
“How could that be?”
“You ca a long way, how could we be so negligent towards you,” Sun Zii quickly responded.
“Why not?” The elder quickly retorted, “We’re here to pay our respects to our older brother, where’s the logic in the older brother coming out to greet us?”
“Exactly, exactly, we’re here to pay our respects, Elder Sun is being too polite.”
The others chid in as well.
The repeated calls of "Little Brother" stunned Sun Zii and the others, sending shivers down their spines.
Their heads were filled with question marks.
This…
Little brothers?
Were these still the sa elders who used to look down on them with their noses up in the air?
“Esteed Elders, you are really too kind to the Hundred Refinents Sect, we don’t deserve such honor!” Sun Zii furrowed his brow, speaking with a mixture of surprise and humility.
“Elder Sun, saying that is just not right!”
Hearing Sun Zii’s words, the fifty elders looked at him with reproachful gazes.
“Exactly, exactly, being humble is understandable, but you’re taking it a bit too far!”
“And to say we don’t deserve it, that only makes us feel ashad…”
“Yes, yes, stop pretending, we all know…”
“…”
The words of the elders left Sun Zii and the others completely bewildered.
They all know?
Know what?
And what was he pretending about?
Stunned.
The fifty-plus elders then perford a familiar routine.
They handed over fifty storage rings directly.
Sun Zii and the other elders of the Hundred Refinents Sect were even more dumbfounded, staring at each other, asking silently what on earth was going on.
Sun Zii couldn’t hold back any longer.
He was determined to find out no matter what.
“Esteed Elders, could you please tell what exactly is happening?”
“Why have you all suddenly…”
But before he could finish.
Another group arrived.
A huge airship approached, flying through the sky.
Seeing this airship, Sun Zii and the others widened their eyes, even neglecting the fifty elders, and hurried to greet them.
