At this moment, everyone witnessing this scene was utterly astonished. No one expected the Lake Master to address the young man as "big brother" with such courtesy; it was simply unbelievable! Especially those two sect leaders, who were extremely surprised, but they seemed to recall something. The Lake Master calling the other "big brother"? It seemed like they had heard of that before.
At this time, the elder beside Long Ren learned about the events here from the gatekeeping cultivator and then leaned close to Long Ren's ear to relay the situation.
Upon knowing the details, Long Ren's expression turned exceedingly grim. As he looked at Sect Master Tian among the bowing crowd, he spoke with a somewhat gloomy tone:
"Please, rise."
