Funeral, Extinction, Heart Torture-We Have Plenty of Time Ahead! (Early Congratulations to Alliance Leader Yanhuo Xiaomin!)

"Long time no see, Senior Miao."

"Hope you've been well, Luo Chen. Looking at your glowing complexion and spirited appearance, I imagine you've been doing quite well lately!"

"Haha, it's all thanks to your blessings, sir."

"Have a seat!"

Inside a private room on the third floor of Zhong Ding Restaurant.

The smiling Miao Wen and Luo Chen sat facing each other, one after the other.

Though the two had met openly and in secret quite a few times, most of those occasions had been cases where Luo Chen knew Miao Wen, while Miao Wen had no idea who Luo Chen was.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this meeting was only their third formal exchange.

Yet judging by the familiarity they displayed, they seemed like old friends who had known each other for decades.

Miao Wen possessed such social finesse naturally because he had spent years honing it as an Outer Sect Elder stationed abroad.

As for Luo Chen's ability to keep up such polished appearances, Miao Wen could only praise him as a youngster to be reckoned with.

How many young people, once they stepped onto the path of cultivation, constantly talked of Da Dao Zheng Feng and defying the heavens?

Luo Chen was different from them.

Pragmatic, diligent, aware of when to advance and when to retreat—he always knew exactly where he stood.

Even though Miao Wen acted very familiar with him, Luo Chen never stopped showing him proper respect.

Miao Wen enjoyed this atmosphere. They could discuss business without diminishing his status as a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

These days!

Working within a great sect was truly not easy.

Inner Sect Elders might have plenty of opportunities for profit, but they had to play the grandson before True Disciples, Dao Seeds, and even Golden Core Immortals.

At all times,
