Qi Tian listened and became curious. "Old man, you actually know me?"
Although the Artifact Sect sometimes had dealings with people in the mortal world, most of the time they remained isolated from the secular world. It was only recently that he and Lin Xiao had been traveling around and completing a few transactions. To think that someone knew his identity!
"Of course I know you. Not only do I know you, I also know your master," Old Zhou said, walking slowly. He dropped a piece of news that stunned both Lin Xiao and Qi Tian.
Old Zhou actually knew the Sect Master of the Artifact Sect?!
"Little Lin, why are you so surprised?" Old Zhou noticed the expression on Lin Xiao's face. He said, "Back then, the Dragon Lord and I traveled all over the Dragon Kingdom, visiting all levels of society and conversing with all sorts of extraordinary individuals. So, please don't be surprised. We also had exchanges with the sects in the inner realm."
They had actually had exchanges with sects in the inner realm!
"The Nangong family, the Zhuge family, the Dongfang family... aren't these all ancient martial arts families? They have always had dealings with the sects in the inner realm. It's only natural that I know about the Artifact Sect."
Lin Xiao said somewhat sheepishly, "Old Zhou, now that you put it that way, I finally understand. My perspective wasn't broad enough."
"Alright, alright. You two are already tired from coming here for the Dragon Lord's health. You should rest well here with me." Arriving at the reception hall, Old Zhou pulled out a chair and sat down, then gestured for them to make themselves at home. "The kitchen is preparing breakfast for you. You must be hungry after not eating all night."
"It's fine, Old Zhou. We're not hungry. There's no need to trouble you," Lin Xiao said politely.
"That's true. I almost forgot. You, young man, have already reached the Divine Realm. Among the younger generation, if you claim second, no one dares to claim first." Old Zhou tapped his cane on the ground and then began to arrange the tea set on the table, pouring tea for Lin Xiao and Qi Tian.
"Old Zhou, you're trying to jinx me!" Lin Xiao quickly said. He saw Old Zhou pouring tea and added, "To be able to drink Old Zhou's tea, wouldn't that be more honorable for me than for the Dragon Lord?"
This was the kind of thing only Lin Xiao would dare to say.
"Indeed. That old man, I have no interest in pouring tea for him. He has so many good teas. The last time I asked him for a jar, you should have seen how pained he was!" Old Zhou began to admonish the Dragon Lord as he spoke. "If one didn't know better, one would think he was some stingy old man. Where is the bearing of a Dragon Lord like that?"
"This... Old Zhou, I remember you said the same thing the last time I was here... I heard that you seem to get a jar of tea from the Dragon Lord every week?" Lin Xiao coughed dryly and said cautiously.
He had just picked up the tea brewed by Old Zhou when he finished speaking. Old Zhou's hand immediately grabbed Lin Xiao's.
"You rascal! What are you saying? Do you want to not drink this tea then!"
Old Zhou glared at Lin Xiao, puffing out his beard and raising his eyebrows. Qi Tian, who was standing by, had just picked up his tea and paused.
He could feel the spiritual energy within the tea. This tea was a rare treasure, even in the inner realm!
