Shen Fangli fell silent for a moment after hearing Yan Xianjue's words.
Just as Yan Xianjue was about to speak again, Shen Fangli asked, "Uh... may I ask how far your research has progressed?"
Yan Xianjue was always honest. "I've already come up with twenty. Just wait until I read a few more webnovel settings—I'll definitely make up the numbers."
Shen Fangli said, "Hmm... I don't think most people would treat webnovels as research material."
"And does this quantity-over-quality approach really work?"

Calling an elder directly by his Daoist title would seem rude.
After thinking it over, he ultimately used the term "Daoist priest" to refer to Carefree Master.
