Emerald Sea Palace Sect

Wang Li approached them, a genuine smile warming his features.

 

"Greetings, everyone. I'm Wang Li, Patriarch of the Wang Family. I'm quite new to the Crimson Rock Sect's fascinating landscape and was hoping one of you might be willing to be my guide."

 

A wave of surprise washed over the group. A powerful Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, a rising force in the cultivation world, actually requesting their help? The eldest of them, a young man named Ka Jing, stammered, "B-but Patriarch Wang, surely someone of your stature wouldn't require our guidance. We're mere outer sect disciples."

 

Wang Li chuckled. "Underestimating yourselves, are we? Every cultivator starts somewhere. Besides, sometimes the most scenic routes are known only to those who journey the less-trodden paths."

 

Ka Jing exchanged nervous glances with his companions before finally nodding. "We would be honored to guide you, Patriarch Wang."
