Zhou Yan did not look up.
His gaze remained fixed ahead, without shifting in the slightest.
His spiritual sense, however, had already sized up the "uninvited guest" who had appeared beside his table.
He could not see through the man's cultivation.
Zhou Yan was now an early-stage Spirit 통 Realm cultivator. Since he could not discern the man's cultivation, that meant it must be higher than his own.
In Forgotten River City, an immortal cultivator whose cultivation exceeded the Spirit 통 Realm was actually running errands like this. That alone showed what an important figure the "master" he spoke of must be.
Since he addressed that person as "master," whoever wanted to meet Zhou Yan was certainly not someone from one of Forgotten River City's cultivation families.
Then the answer was obvious.
It was one of the city's two Divine Ability Realm cultivators.
"I came to Forgotten River City solely to mourn an old friend."
Zhou Yan spoke slowly:
"At present, I am in no mood to visit anyone else. Please convey my apologies to your master, fellow Daoist."
The man stood beside the table, in no hurry to leave.
"My master said that if you two have no time to visit his residence, he is willing to come in person."
There was nothing courteous about those words.
They even carried a faint hint of a threat.
Even Luo Jian, who sat opposite Zhou Yan and usually acted as though he had not a care in the world, immediately looked much colder upon hearing that.
The man was showing far too little regard for the Glazed Mountain Daoist robes they wore.
What was more, Zhou Yan was the senior brother of their generation of Glazed Mountain disciples. To some extent, he represented Glazed Mountain's public face whenever he traveled outside.
