Right at that moment, Tian Buyi came out. The man leading the group quickly changed the subject and said respectfully, "Qi Hao of Dragon Head Peak, disciple of True Person Cang Song, pays his respects to Uncle Tian!"
Lin Jingyu also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Wang Yue to keep lecturing him, so he respectfully said, "Lin Jingyu of Dragon Head Peak, disciple of Cang Song, pays his respects to Uncle Tian!"
Tian Buyi gave a noncommittal grunt, then calmly asked, "What business did your master send you two here for?"
Qi Hao couldn't read Tian Buyi's mood, so he hurriedly answered with respect, "Uncle Tian, my master was entrusted by Sect Leader True Person to handle the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament. There have been some changes this time, so he asked me to pass along the news. As for my Junior Brother Lin, he wanted to see his good friend, Zhang Xiaofan."
Tian Buyi looked Lin Jingyu up and down, then noticed his extraordinary bearing. He thought that if Wang Yue hadn't helped Zhang Xiaofan fuse two cultivation methods a year ago, Zhang Xiaofan might not have been a match for Lin Jingyu.
But now, the two seemed evenly matched.
He had never gotten along with Cang Song and knew why Cang Song had sent Lin Jingyu. He said irritably, "Your master sent you here to show off, didn't he?"
Lin Jingyu was still young. Seeing that Tian Buyi was targeting him, he opened his mouth to explain.
Qi Hao stopped Lin Jingyu and said earnestly, "Uncle Tian, you must be joking. We're all members of the Qingyun Sect. You're a man of great virtue and prestige. How could we possibly come here to show off?"
Tian Buyi didn't believe a word Qi Hao said.
