"Na Na, what are you discussing?"
Just then.
A bearded middle-aged man with a Golden Earring in his left ear approached with his hands behind his back.
Hu Liena turned and smiled lightly. "Uncle She Long, we were discussing making money by raising Silver Snow Eels."
She then introduced him to Ye Tian and Li Jiuchuan. "This is Elder She Long of Spirit Hall. Some time ago, he was ordered to investigate the assassination case in Eastsea City."
She Long took over, his expression calm. "We came to Eastsea City and were preparing to investigate at sea when we unexpectedly encountered pirates attacking the Li Family. After dealing with the pirates, we ran into a typhoon, so we temporarily stayed on Golden Turtle Island."
This was the script Hu Liena had arranged beforehand. She Long recited it without missing a single word.
There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation on his face.
His performance was nothing short of perfect.
This should be enough to fool them, right? Hu Liena giggled, linked her arm through Ye Tian's, and added, "When I was a maid at Spirit Hall, Elder She Long often guided me in cultivation, so we can be considered good friends."
The latter half was true. As Spirit Hall's prospective Holy Maiden,
the plan for cultivating her had been of the highest standard. Every one of her teachers was a Titled Douluo.
She Long was one of them.
Hearing this, Li Jiuchuan felt envious.
Na Na actually had a teacher-student relationship with an elder of Spirit Hall. Her background was truly far too powerful.
Spirit Hall's elders held great power and authority. They were not something a tiny Li Family like theirs could compare to.
Facing She Long, Ye Tian smiled slightly and extended a hand in a small salute.
