"Senior Brother Han, it seems the Qingyuan Sect has some skill when it comes to secular business. These new rules are exactly what the White Mountain Loose Cultivators desire. They have a strong penchant for gambling, so of course they'd flock to this sort of thing."
The man addressed as Senior Brother Han opened his eyes. Gazing at the still-bustling crowd of Loose Cultivators in the distance, he said softly,
"These are just petty tricks, nothing to be taken seriously. Don't pay them any mind. We should be thinking about how to approach our negotiations with Fang Qingyuan."
