The pale-faced man was still trying to speak, but the short, thin old man suddenly raised his hand, silencing him.
"Bring it here."
His somewhat hoarse voice sounded again.
The man who resembled a tower of iron from behind stepped forward and handed over a sheepskin scroll. The old man took the sheepskin casually. He glanced at the young girl before turning his attention to the Diancang Elder.
"I wonder which sect's Sect Hierarch or Sect Leader are you?"
He spoke with extreme politeness.
Shang Sufeng, who had been silent, calmly said: "I'm just a man who has fallen from grace, not the head of any major sect."
His statement was indeed truthful.
The elder who had intended to unfold the sheepskin paused his movements.
His expression suddenly became much warmer: "It's a waste to let your capabilities lie idle, Senior."
Before the elder could continue, Shang Sufeng understood his intentions.
"I have no interest in the Western Regions Pope."
