"Greetings, Senior Shuyuan. Pardon the intrusion, but I have been tasked by Silver Talon Peak Master Luo Xuanji to bring Judge Yang Qing from the Order here. He hopes to meet with Senior Xia Cangfu," Shen Mu solemnly explained, respectfully cupping his fists.
Seeing his demeanor, Yang Qing mirrored the gesture, cupping his fists both in greeting and as a sign of respect.
"Forgive this junior for his lack of manners and my untimely visit," Yang Qing said.
"You're a creator?" the elderly man asked, his tone tinged with interest and slight surprise, though the calm austerity in his voice masked most of it.
It took a moment for Yang Qing to register what he meant. "Yes, I am," he replied with a slight nod.
"What grade?"
"Middle-tier Blue Grade," Yang Qing answered, drawing an incredulous look from Shen Mu.
"Not bad," Senior Shuyuan calmly muttered, his hands clasped behind his back.
