"Sect Master!"
Cao Ren entered and, seeing Lady Scarlet was present, quickly paid his respects to her as well, "Junior Cao Ren greets Senior Duanmu, wishing you boundless blessings and longevity."
"Humph!"
Lady Scarlet snorted coquettishly, evidently displeased.
Previously, Cao Ren had disrupted her good mood, and now, although his tone was respectful, the honorifics made her feel old, naturally giving Cao Ren nothing pleasant to look forward to.
"Uh..."
Cao Ren felt somewhat puzzled, but didn't dwell on it. He pointed to the young cultivator who had been kneeling on the ground since entering the mansion and spoke boldly, "Sect Master, this fellow Daoist claims to come from the human force at the top of the East Slope of Five Dragon Mountain—Jade Verdant Cave. Because the mountain gate is surrounded by demons, he came out specifically to seek external assistance!"
