Two days after the distasteful visit, while Jiang Fei and the other girls were training the low-ranking martial artists, Sylphy flashed herself to the training grounds, smiling.
“Love! The dwarf man is here!” She squeaked. The dwarf that she was referring to was none other than Bai Shien.
Jiang Fei smiled happily as his eyes widened with joy.
“Invite him in!”
He had been waiting for him to bring him the good news about recruiting the other Level 5 grand masters. As soon as he had enough of them, he could launch the raid, acquire him some Energy Crystals, and lay down the fire on the Unknowns.
Jiang Fei entered the house and quickly made his way to the grand guest room. This time, Bai Shien was not alone. There was another older gentleman standing behind him.
“Forgive my tardiness, I am a little busy at the moment.” Jiang Fei bowed and apologized to the two masters.
“No need to be so polite. We are all but the same,” said Bai Shien, smiling like a buddha whilst treating Jiang Fei as an equal peer.
Thing is, even though he was a Level 5 grand master of a reputable sect, Bai Shien could not be more humble than he had ever been in his entire life. The man was depending on Jiang Fei to reforge his Godblade into a usable weapon, by a mysterious grand master rumored to be a Level 6 Metahuman! The line Jiang Fei would need to cross in order to offend Bai Shien was far. From another perspective, Jiang Fei was only a Level 4 fighter and yet he was able to affect a Level 5 girl to the point where she welcomed him in like a servant! What kind of person was he to be able to command a higher level fighter?
“Senior Bai, who is this gentleman?” Jiang Fei bowed and asked. He could clearly feel the tremendous Level 5 aura that was emitted of the man standing behind Bai Shien.
“Oh? This is the grand master of the Rainbow Longsword Sect, Xiahou Shangyuan,” Bai Shien introduced him before turning to face him.
“Oyy, old fart, this is the young boy that I’ve been talking about. He’s Jiang Fei,” Bai Shien teased.
“I say, short one, you just couldn’t hold your nasty tongue back during the introduction.” Xiahou Shangyuan rolled his eyes and snorted. Jiang Fei snickered. As he could see, these two gentlemen were rather close. How else could Bai Shien tease and insulte Xiahou Shangyuan so nonchalantly and get away with it.
“Greetings, Senior Xiahou.” Jiang Fei bowed and greeted.
“No need for that. Based on your age and talents, you will soon be standing amongst us. Let us skip ahead and greet each other as equals,” said Xiahou Shangyuan. He did not bow to Jiang Fei, not even a little as Bai Shien did.
“Thank you for the praise. This one is not worthy.” Jiang Fei bowed again, respectfully even though the man did not reciprocate it. It mattered to Jiang Fei since the man in front of him was helping him to do his “bidding”.
“Come now, lighten up a bit here. Call him whatever you like and don’t stand on ceremony here,” said Bai Shien as he clapped his hands to diffuse the atmosphere. Without waiting for Jiang Fei’s invite, he got to the guest room’s center and made himself comfortable on the sofa.
