The five individuals in the hall straightened their backs, and the atmosphere eased considerably. Shi Ze looked at Chen Jichuan and chuckled, "Junior Brother, meeting you again is quite the delight."
"Brother Shi,"
"Back then at Dongqi Daoist School, I must thank Brother Shi for looking after me."
Chen Jichuan cupped his hands toward Shi Ze in a gesture of respect.
"Junior Brother is too polite; it was merely a trivial effort on my part. Honestly, I didn't expect that after casually wandering about for only six hundred years, upon my return, Junior Brother had already ascended to the Fourth Order and become our youngest member."
Shi Ze possessed a forthright and magnanimous temperament. He walked over to Chen Jichuan, openly displaying familiarity.
