She followed Shen Yanqing down, landing on a small hilltop, where she saw an old man, wearing a bamboo hat, with snowy white, slender beard, holding a fishing rod, casting it into the sea of clouds.
Li Qinghong shifted her gaze slightly; 'Creek Elder' was the first Zifu Fate Divine Skill that the Li Family had encountered. The impression was deep, and she felt somewhat uneasy about the fishing rod, so she avoided looking at it. The old man before her, however, opened his mouth and said:
"Who goes there?"
Shen Yanqing pursed her lips in a smile, leaving him his dignity only when outsiders were present, then said:
"Senior Ling Yanzi, members of the Li Family have come!"
"Oh!"
Ling Yanzi suddenly leaped up on the spot. The fishing rod in his hand knocked against the ground with a gurgling sound. He flipped his hand and stowed it away, then muttered peevishly:
"I thought a disciple really had come to me."
"Qingdu's Li Qinghong greets Senior."
