「It was just past nine in the evening.」
In a private room on the second floor of Heshui Cave, everyone waiting at the table rose to their feet the moment Jiang Yi walked in.
Wang Heng was the first to call out, "Senior Brother Jiang is here!"
Lu Yun hurried to the door, bowing slightly with his hands clasped.
"Senior Brother Jiang, you're on duty at the Merit Supervision Institute, yet you're still willing to take time out of your busy schedule to meet with us. We are truly moved to tears with gratitude."
'This flattery is nauseating.'
Jiang Yi raised a hand, pressing down slightly to stop any further bootlicking, but he didn't feign modesty with polite platitudes either.
He knew well that this was how most Outer Sect disciples behaved when faced with a senior brother from an Inner Peak.
Whether the other party appreciated it or not, it was never wrong to be exceedingly polite and assume a humble posture.
"Everyone, please take a seat."
