After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lu Ya, Shen Gongbao hurriedly introduced both sides. He first turned to Daoist Duobao and the others with a cheerful smile.
"This is Daoist Lu Ya, whom I often speak of!"
Then he said to Lu Ya:
"This is Daoist Duobao, the chief direct disciple of the Sage of the Intercepting Sect!"
"This is Holy Mother Gold Spirit, one of the Intercepting Sect's four great direct disciples. She has already reached the Quasi-Sage realm..."
"..."
There were many members of the Intercepting Sect present, and Shen Gongbao introduced them one by one. Lu Ya cheerfully exchanged greetings with them all. Seeing that Daoist Duobao showed neither excessive reverence nor fear, while the ordinary Intercepting Sect disciples behind him displayed no contempt either,
He seemed all the more carefree, like one who lived beyond the mortal world.
Seeing Lu Ya's manner, Daoist Duobao and the others could not help marveling inwardly. He truly was as extraordinary as Shen Gongbao had boasted...
After quite a while.
Shen Gongbao finally finished the introductions. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he smacked his forehead and cried out:
"Oh, look at this memory of mine..."
"I've actually kept you fellow Daoists standing outside the camp for so long. We should prepare a banquet and drink together. Then I can slowly introduce everyone properly during the feast!"
As he spoke, he was about to discuss it with Grand Tutor Wen.
They would immediately begin preparing a banquet...
Lu Ya chuckled at the sight.
"No hurry, no hurry!"
"I came this time in response to an invitation to aid my fellow Daoists. Since that is the case... why not deal with Maitreya first, then drink with everyone and sit down to discuss the Dao?"
"Wouldn't that be most delightful?"
Shen Gongbao
