"It's really unfortunate that Immortal Lord He is in seclusion. If you'd come a little earlier, young friend, you might have been able to meet him. But don't worry. Once Immortal Lord He emerges, he'll certainly receive you. After all, that precious Black Origin Bead has already left an indelible impression on him. Wait just a little while longer, and you're sure to hear good news from him."
Liu Zhenlin had come to regard Xu Yi as a close friend, so of course he did everything he could to recommend him.
Xu Yi said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhenlin, and please thank Immortal Lord He for his kindness as well. There's no hurry. I've only just arrived, so getting familiar with the sect is my top priority. I don't have time to worry about anything else yet."
Xu Yi had heard the round-faced man in purple and the square-faced man in purple explain it clearly: Wang Qianqiu's true self had spent only a few days in the Donghua Immortal Sect, and knew almost nothing about its internal institutions, rules, and regulations.
Liu Zhenlin smiled. "Don't worry, young friend. I came here intending to personally show you around."
Xu Yi smiled. "Are you saying you'll personally take me around the Donghua Immortal Sect, Mr. Zhenlin? I couldn't possibly ask you to do that. Besides, I've seen the sect's map. The islands are all clearly marked on it. There's no need for you to go to all that trouble."
Liu Zhenlin smiled. "I'd like to take you around every island, but I'm afraid I don't have the ability. You're still considered a trial disciple, so there are many places you can't enter at all. And though I may look impressive, I've only got a little authority because I'm borrowing Immortal Lord He's prestige.
