All three elderly members of the Langzhong Sect were present, clearly placing great emphasis on this impartation of knowledge.
The Daoist with the black beard showed slight displeasure at the appearance of Li Shipeng, "Capital Commandant, who is this gentleman?"
Hou Niao pulled Li Shipeng over, "This is my brother, he has come here with the same purpose as myself, also wishing to learn the secret skills of Langzhong.
I am a drifter, unsure of when the higher-ups may or may not send me off to some place, but my brother will remain in Pingliang State..."
There was no need to spell it out; the three elderly Daoists understood his implications and said no more.
