"Thank you for your kindness, but I, Li Mou, have always been used to walking alone."
Li Zhōujūn smiled and refused the two of them.
"How dare you—"
"Shut up."
The girl in the blue-and-white dress had bristled at Li Zhōujūn's refusal and was about to berate him, but the young man in splendid robes beside her stopped her.
"Brother, this mountain range is exceedingly vast, and there are countless spirits and monsters within it. I can see that you possess no cultivation at all. Why not travel with the two of us? That way, we can look out for one another."
The young man in splendid robes addressed Li Zhōujūn with a beaming smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think that will be necessary." Li Zhōujūn chuckled. He did not take the girl in the blue-and-white dress's offense to heart.

"Since you insist, then I, Lu, can only wish you a safe journey."
The young man in splendid robes sighed regretfully.
"Farewell." Li Zhōujūn smiled faintly, then turned and stepped into the mountain range.
"Master, he's just a mortal. Why were you so polite to him?"
