"Yan Xiaobao is at your service," he said. "Brother, you are...?"
The young man smiled and replied: "Feng Yan from Green Peak."
Yan Xiaobao quickly clasped his hands tightly. "Oh, Brother Feng, I should have known it was you. At first glance, you are clearly an extraordinary individual. This is my first mission outside the sect, so I really hope you can show me how it's done, Brother Feng."
