He could not even meet with the head of the Aohai Cui Clan?
Who was this Magic Ship's overseer? How could they be so arrogant?
The head of the Aohai Cui Clan was True Lord Jianmu Dinghai, one of the clan's three True Lords. A True Lord unable to secure an audience-this was certainly a first.
Could the Magic Ship's overseer be Cloud Ao Bearing the Mountain True Lord, or perhaps True Lord Qionghuan Yuanzong?
Zhang Yuan was bewildered and uncertain. This time, it was his turn to tread carefully. He asked in a low voice:
"Is there a True Lord overseeing things here?"
Cui Chengyun shook his head. "No, that isn't the case."
"No?" Zhang Yuan was utterly puzzled.
Cui Chengyun gave a dry cough. "Senior, this is a private matter of the Aohai Cui Clan. We cannot disclose it to outsiders. Please don't inquire any further."

Zhang Yuan had originally intended to call out the Magic Ship's overseer and see whether it was someone he knew. If so, he would ask about the Azure Firmament Dust-Dyed Realm's recent situation and whether anything major had happened.
But since the overseer would not meet anyone, and their identity could not be disclosed to others, he would leave it at that.
Perhaps this was part of some arrangement made by the Aohai Cui Clan's True Lords. It would be better to rein in his curiosity.
