Li Yi performed a respectful bow toward the crowd in Zuixian Building before slowly speaking: "This time, I troubled Senior Tu to invite all the Taoist experts here to Zuixian Building. In truth, it is because I have an important matter to discuss."
"Taiyi, just speak directly. These old bones of ours are worthless. If there is any place where we can be of use, just say the word. As long as this old Daoist can help, I will not delay. After all, I've been freeloading food and drink these days, and it feels rather embarrassing." An older Daoist missing a few teeth chuckled as he spoke.
The others nodded in agreement.
They were now utterly destitute, living meal to meal, far from the glorious days of the past. To have someone regard them with such importance now deeply moved them.
