The Obvious Gap

Zhou Hao arranged several sofas on the ship's deck. He and Murong sat in the seats of honor, leisurely waiting for Cheng Hua and the others to come aboard.

When the Undying Race members walking around the deck saw that Zhou Hao and Murong were about to discuss business, they tactfully left the deck, returning to their rooms or heading to the first-floor hall.

Cheng Hua soon came up. He glanced at the Undying Race members who were leaving but did not pay them much mind, walking straight over to Zhou Hao and Murong.

"Have a seat!" Zhou Hao pointed to the seats opposite them.

"Thank you." Cheng Hua thanked him, then sat down opposite them without ceremony.

At this point, Qian Rong and the other two arrived one after another. Just like Cheng Hua, Zhou Hao told them to sit first before discussing anything.

Zhou Hao swept his gaze over the four of them and asked with a light smile, "How should I address you four?"

Cheng Hua immediately introduced himself. "Cheng Hua, an external affairs disciple of the Nameless Sect."

"Li Haotong, a member of the Li Family among the Ten Great Families."

"Ling Shuiyan, a member of the Ling Family among the Ten Great Families."
