Chapter 1112: Fish Bait (II)
The brows of both men rose as someone entered the hall. The young man was dressed in a Daoist robe of white fabric embroidered with golden patterns. His features were upright, carrying a gentle and steady air, and a faint heavenly light flickered between his brows.
Daoist Master Chang Yun froze for a moment, sensing the Bright Yang divine ability radiating from him, and cautiously asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhaojing?"
Li Ximing cupped his hands in return and smiled, "Greetings Daoist Master Chang Yun!"
Chang Yun immediately rose from the main seat, smiling as he stepped down. "That fellow Zhong Qian told me you would be paying a visit. I have been waiting and waiting, and at last, you have arrived!"
Zhong Qian not only shared a karmic connection with Li Xuanfeng but had also treated the Li Family with considerable respect, especially when they attained the Purple Mansion Realm. Li Ximing, naturally courteous in return, smiled as well.
Chang Yun gestured for him to sit at the side table, then extended a hand toward Minghui, "This is Daoist Master Zhaojing of the Li Family of Moongaze."
Minghui merely lifted his head, casting a lazy glance before lounging back in his seat. From Li Ximing's aura, it was clear he had only recently entered the Purple Mansion Realm, hardly worth much respect. He thought to himself, Oh... some immortal family... Moongaze Li... Moongaze Li?!
The monk's pupils dilated sharply.
Chang Yun turned toward Li Ximing to introduce, "This is Minghui, the Merciful One of Lotus Temple. He has attained Non-Retrogression on the Way of Virtue, sits beneath the Golden Lotus, and is expected to become a Maha."
Though the Way of Virtue had little direct enmity with the Li Family among the Seven Ways of Buddhism, Li Ximing still felt no goodwill toward the northern Buddhist cultivators. He doubted the monk would show him any either, so he maintained only a veneer of politeness.
