Chapter 244: Demoted to a Minor Sect
"A Daoist Master of the Purple Mansion Realm?!"
Fei Luoya was startled by the revelation. Previously he had only heard that the ancestor of the Li Family held a prestigious position within the Azure Pond Sect and showed potential of reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, but he had never imagined that a Daoist Master of the Purple Mansion Realm would humbly address the Li Family as brothers. The gap between them was vast, not measurable by ordinary standards, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Although Fei Luoya had spent many years in seclusion on Mount Wu and didn't quite grasp the art of social interaction and speech, he was no fool. His mind quickly turned, and he thought to himself, This is not just potential for the Purple Mansion Realm; their starting point is the Purple Mansion Realm, with prospects for the Golden Core Realm. To have a Daoist Master of the Purple Mansion Realm lower himself to address Li Tongya as a brother is truly unbelievable.
Observing Li Tongya's calm and composed demeanor, Fei Luoya suddenly had an epiphany, and internally exclaimed in shock, This is probably not about a hefty reward! It's clear that some Purple Mansion Realm cultivator is using his influence for personal gain, leveraging the Azure Pond Sect's procurement channels to profit the Li Family, aiming to please that Li Che... Sword Immortal. Li Tongya is not only making a friendly gesture but also issuing a warning!
This thought lingered in his mind for a while, and as Fei Luoya grew more convinced of his speculations, he couldn't help but praise his own clear and sharp mind. He marveled at how capable he was of deducing conclusions from a single instance, and thought to himself, The world of mortals truly hides mysteries in every phrase… We people of Mount Yue are as pure as white jade. Fortunately, I was born astute, able to deduce the deeper truths from slight hints!
Fei Luoya's smile grew even warmer and he praised, "Your clan is truly remarkable, I admire it."
Li Tongya chuckled softly, knowing that this man had likely understood his hint. After chatting briefly with Fei Luoya, he said with a smile, "The Daoist Master of the Xiao Family has made a breakthrough, and I must attend the ceremony, so I will not stay long. I will visit you again soon, brother!"
"Go ahead, Brother Tongya... do not mind me! From now on, you are welcome to come and go freely in my mountain, no need for formalities!" Fei Luoya said warmly, now calling him 'brother', and he dared not delay matters concerning a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator.
He saw Li Tongya off with a beaming smile and breathed a sigh of relief once the man was gone, murmuring, "What a relief! The grudge between the Li Family and me has been resolved! Li Tongya is unassuming and keeps a low profile, but he is a man of deep thoughts! After this conversation, I now realize that I was easily led by the nose!"
