"Qinghong Taoist Fellow... unlike you who were born into one of the Noble Families, we were summoned to come here... hoping to preserve our lives and make a bit of fortune! How about... we just go along with his wishes..."
Both were Cultivators who had pledged allegiance to Green Pond from the sea and could be considered Guest Elders, so naturally, their thoughts were different. Li Qinghong finally ceased her attack and sighed,
"Then, Taoist Fellow, go ahead and discuss the matter with him in detail..."
