“Come in.”
Tang Yusheng said.
Cheng Xinzhan stepped into the great hall and stopped before Tang Yusheng.
Tang Yusheng introduced him to the thin Daoist who sat beside him.
“Your Highness, this is Lai Youde. Aside from the Protector Huang, he is the highest cultivated person from Huangliu Island. Clever and capable — he’s now the hall master of our Funiu Guard Escort Hall.”
Then Tang Yusheng turned to Cheng Xinzhan.
“Youde, let me introduce. This gentleman is the young island lord of Earth-Yin Island and a personal disciple of the Yin King. Quickly pay your respects.”
Cheng Xinzhan was puzzled in his heart.
Wasn’t this fellow originally a disciple of the Southern Sect FaXiang School? How did he become Gu Chen’s personal disciple? Had he switched sides?
“Your Highness,” Cheng Xinzhan did not show his confusion and bowed politely.
The Thin Daoist put on a humble manner and rose to return the bow with a smile.
“Brother Lai is clearly a man of outstanding talent. He lay dormant on Huangliu Island for years. Once he entered the Li Fire Sea it was his chance; he rose swiftly like a storm, straight to the heavens.”
Cheng Xinzhan quickly replied with the customary modesty.
