"Senior, this junior is Xue Pei of the Immortal Music Sect. This is this junior's communication talisman!" Another Foundation Establishment cultivator hurriedly took one out as well and respectfully presented it.
"Oh? So you are a disciple of the Immortal Music Sect!" Xiao Hua nodded. "This old man saw True Person Lan Yu in Haoming City, along with Fellow Daoist Li Chengxu and Fellow Daoist Zhe Ming. Why were you not traveling with them?"
Hearing that Xiao Hua had actually met True Person Lan Yu, Xue Pei's expression became even more respectful. With a flattering smile, he said, "How could there have been a place for this junior before Patriarch Lan Yu? This junior had only just returned from training outside. I did not even get to see Martial Uncle Li or Senior Brother Zhe Ming!"
Then he carefully asked, "May this junior ask where Senior encountered our sect's Patriarch Lan Yu?"
"Hehe, naturally at the Bidding Convention!" Xiao Hua said with a smile. "If it had been elsewhere, how could this old man have had the chance to meet a True Person?"
"This junior is Zheng Zhihao of the Cheng Ye Sect. This is this junior's communication talisman!" After seeing Xue Pei finish asking, the last Foundation Establishment cultivator hurriedly and proactively offered up his own communication talisman. The last trace of reservation he had felt earlier had long since vanished.
"Cheng Ye Sect? That name sounds somewhat familiar, as though this old man has heard it somewhere!" Xiao Hua was slightly stunned. After thinking for a moment, however, he was certain that he had only met many cultivators from the Meng Kingdom at the Feathered Immortal Convention. At no other time had he truly encountered them.
"Good." Xiao Hua put away all three communication talismans together and smiled.
