Foundation Establishment, Island Founding [Monthly Votes Appreciated]

"This disciple greets the Sect Master."

Ji Yuan cupped his hands slightly toward the Profound Water True Person inside the Water Dragon Sect's great hall.

"Oh? Nephew Ji, you've arrived. Come in."

Compared with before, the Profound Water True Person's smile was far more sincere now.

He also seemed to have forgotten what had happened earlier entirely.

That was just as well.

Ji Yuan was happy to leave it there. If the Profound Water True Person kept dwelling on their earlier disagreement, Ji Yuan would not know how to deal with him.

Things were better this way. They could get along naturally. But on second thought, the Profound Water True Person truly deserved to be Sect Master. That breadth of mind was no ordinary thing.

The thought flashed through Ji Yuan's mind as he stepped into the Water Dragon Sect's great hall.

"Sit, nephew. We can talk while seated."

The Profound Water True Person sat down first behind the desk at the head of the hall.

"Yes."

After a brief salute, Ji Yuan sat to one side and waited for him to continue.

"I called you here today partly to observe a Water Dragon Sect tradition, and partly to discuss the founding of your island."

"I'll leave everything to you, Martial Uncle."

Ji Yuan answered with a smile, giving the Profound Water True Person plenty of face.

"Mm. To have achieved Foundation Establishment at your age, you must have endured many hardships. Do you have any suggestions for the sect...?"

A string of questions followed.

Ji Yuan chose his answers carefully. It was only a formality, anyway. Even if he had suggestions for the sect, the Profound Water True Person could not decide on them alone.

The questions also covered his impressions of the sect and the like.

Don't ask.
