Overseer Zhai thought back to the time he had hosted Lin Mu, wondering if he had ever said something inappropriate, wondering if he had somehow overstepped. he had been lucky that he had quickly changed his attitude, seeing the VIP token of the Great Kang clan and had not insulted Lin Mu.
Even the worker who had insulted Lin Mu before had long since been fired by Overseer Zhai. Still, the fact that Lin Mu had always been calm and unassuming only made the contrast to this moment more jarring.
When the Grand Elder finally turned from Lin Mu to see High Elders Gu Jin and Luo, relief flooded his face. After greeting them and confirming their recovery, he ordered the other Xian Sword Sect elders to prepare for their safe return.
But as the merchants watched, it was not the exchange with the rescued elders that left the deepest mark on their hearts. It was the sight of the One Eyed Sword Lord, the Grand Elder of the Xian Sword Sect, showing warmth and trust toward Lin Mu.
