"Welcome, three stewards of the Immortal Sect, to our Mountain Sea Merchant Alliance."
Seeing the two elderly stewards at the front, who looked somewhat familiar, make a move, Du Yueji clapped his hands with a smile.
The immortal music that had briefly stopped rang out again, even grander than when the three had arrived.
As the cheerful music filled the air, Du Yueji hurried forward and took his place at the head of the group, personally guiding the stewards from the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect.
"Thank you, stewards, for giving me this chance to show my sincerity."
Perhaps it was because Du Yueji, the leader of the Mountain Sea Merchant Alliance, had seen to it personally, or perhaps the alliance had always worked this efficiently.
From the moment the news arrived to the moment the three appeared, no more than half an incense stick had passed.

"Thank you for the trouble, Alliance Leader Du."
It was the first time Sun Yunxing and Hai Dafu had received such generous treatment from the Mountain Sea Merchant Alliance. They promptly returned Du Yueji's greeting with solemn courtesy.
Though the two had successfully climbed aboard the great ship that was the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect, their standing as Outer Sect stewards was not enough for them to act presumptuously before Du Yueji.
"You're too courteous, stewards. This is the least I should do."
The three stewards from the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect had shown a far better attitude than Du Yueji had expected.
Putting himself in their shoes, he saw no harm in praising them a little more.
Amid laughter and cheerful conversation, the four entered the Guest Hall
