[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations, Host, you have gained Mana +2,666!]
"To be honest, I come from the Jingxuan Pavilion lineage of the East Sea!"
Wang Xiu uttered an astonished "Oh?" and then said, "Jingxuan Pavilion? Could it be *that* Jingxuan Pavilion?"
"You've heard of it?"
"Of course! It's the Jingxuan Pavilion, after all!"
Zhao Zhonghe was surprised by Wang Xiu's reaction. His lineage had only become renowned within the last millennium and wasn't widely known. He never expected its fame to have spread all the way to White Jade City!
His fondness for Wang Xiu immediately grew.
Little did he know, Wang Xiu had absolutely no idea what that place was. He was just habitually playing along with the man's bragging.
In any case, this guy before me is a Saint Manifestation-phase chive. Even in the Nine Heavens, you don't just run into one of those every day!
