Bai Zihan looked at Nie Yuanfeng's respectful greeting and gave a slight nod in return.
"Clan Leader Nie!"
His tone was calm, neither arrogant nor overly polite.
Nie Yuanfeng quickly straightened slightly, though his expression remained cautious.
After all, someone of Bai Zihan's level appearing personally in Cloudcrane City was already an enormous matter.
He did not believe for a second that this was a casual visit.
"May I ask… Clan Leader Bai's purpose in coming to my Nie Clan today?"
He asked carefully.
Patriarch Xue immediately stepped forward to answer Nie Yuanfeng's question.
"This matter concerns the Neutral Alliance."
Patriarch Xue continued quickly.
"We are here to hear the Nie Clan's opinion regarding the Bai Clan joining the Neutral Alliance."
Nie Yuanfeng's eyes widened slightly in shock.
"…What?"
For a second, he almost doubted his own hearing.
The Bai Clan?
Joining the Neutral Alliance?
That Bai Clan?
