Pei Lingsha, the founding patriarch of Bishui Palace, was now its most senior member, as well as its Number One.
When Li Bai finished speaking, she sneered. "An emergency calls for expedient measures? When I told you about some of Bishui Palace's formation arrangements back then, it wasn't so you could sneak in like this, was it?"
"That was an oversight on my part. But the formations now are very different from what they were back then. It took me quite a bit of effort to get here without being spotted by your disciples. Besides, you never told me about the formations in the core areas. I know nothing about them, nor did I touch them. By breaking in this time, I've at least helped test for flaws in Bishui Palace's formations and gaps in your disciples' patrols and defenses. Surely that can make up for my trespassing?"
Pei Lingsha snorted coldly. His explanation did nothing to improve her expression.
"Could you put Moye away before we talk?" Li Bai added when he saw that her anger had not subsided.
Pei Lingsha stared at Li Bai for a long while before her expression softened slightly. Only then did she put away the Moye Sword in her hand.
Naturally, Li Bai also sheathed his Ganjiang Sword.
"If Ganjiang and Moye hadn't sensed each other just now, you wouldn't have discovered me so quickly," Li Bai said.
"What? Are you showing off your abilities?" Pei Lingsha's expression darkened again.
"That's not what I meant," Li Bai said hastily.
"Who doesn't know what you, Li Taibai, are capable of?" A trace of mockery appeared on Pei Lingsha's face. "To think you dared to challenge that old ghost Leng Guhan back then. You were the first in nearly two hundred years in the Jianghu.
