Fang Zheng leads

Lein stepped forward calmly, approaching the group before him. He looked at their leader, a middle-aged man with a sturdy posture and a neatly trimmed beard.

"Greetings, Mr. Fang Zheng. Thank you for welcoming us. We have some business with the Seed Shop," he said, his voice friendly yet authoritative.

Fang Zheng couldn't hide his surprise. In the cultivation world, powerful individuals rarely spoke politely. They usually relied on their strength to dominate. "What? He speaks so courteously?" he thought, holding back his astonishment.

However, when Lein mentioned the Seed Shop, his eyes narrowed slightly. He recalled the city lord's warning: "Never cause trouble for the Seed Shop. The consequences could be disastrous." His mind raced as he tried to gather information.

"Excuse me, sir, but what brings you to the Seed Shop? We're ready to assist with anything you need," Fang Zheng said cautiously, injecting a friendly tone into his voice.
