"Sir, I hail from the Violet Orchid Empire. I have spent my entire life there, so I haven't heard much about you," Austin replied with utmost honesty.

"Violet Orchid Empire. It turns out you come from the faraway small country.

"Now that you came here, you surely want to improve your cultivation base.

The moment he finished talking, Austin felt like he was being spied on.

He had a feeling that all his energy meridians, organs and even cells were exposed to the sharp gaze of the man.

"What? "

An exclamation echoed throughout the room. Having surprise all over his face, he looked totally different from the composed elder he just had been.
