"That's right!"
Old Yang nodded in acknowledgment.
This gave Wang Ping a new perspective on Wulang. He'd heard of Wulang's character before—frank and magnanimous. Thanks to that, and the influence of his master, Xiu Yu Taoist, he had quickly gathered a large following.

"Wulang loves flattery. Especially when he was in hiding, since all his followers had abandoned him. Every time I visited, all I had to do was say a few flattering words to get a heap of rewards. It was even more effective when I was there with the specific goal of digging up information."
"You're quite bold..."
"It's not about being bold; it's about the art of conversation. Besides, I couldn't just directly ask about Guanmao Daoist's background..." Old Yang seemed to be proving his worth, desperate to avoid being locked in the dungeon.
"Anything else to add?"
