Chapter 971: Barging In
“I’m Zhou Ze of the Zhou Family. I’m an Elder who is responsible for external affairs,” the goateed old man said with a smile. “What are your names?”
“Niu Meng.”
Zhou Ze nodded. “I see. You’re Cultivator Niu. You seem to be a sedate person with a powerful aura. Where are you from? Where do you work?”
“Both of us are independent cultivators,” Lu Ye lied.
Zhou Ze kept a smile on his face. “I see. Despite your age, you’re already fairly powerful. It seems there are some brilliant people among the independent cultivators. Since you’ve come to Dingtian City as visitors, why don’t we go somewhere else and have a talk?”
Lu Ye squinted his eyes and nonchalantly swept a glance over the surroundings before replying dispassionately, “You’re pretty hospitable.”
Many cultivators were hiding around them and keeping an eye on them. Lu Ye could easily detect them by scanning the surroundings with his Divine Ego. Although Xiao Xinghe had a less sensitive perception, he realised they were besieged as well. That was why he was vigilant.
Zhou Ze laughed. “We’re known for being hospitable to brilliant cultivators from everywhere. You’re aware that it’s harder for a family of cultivators than a Sect to survive in Jiu Zhou.”
Lu Ye nodded. “In that case, I’m sorry for bothering you, then.”
