"Fellow Daoist Li, what is he saying?" Yunjin frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that the burly giant was not saying anything nice. Being good at reading people's expressions, he clearly saw a look of disgust in the giant's eyes.
Disgust?
What could he possibly find disgusting about them?
"Uh..." Li Dai stammered for a moment, then said, "Nothing much, he's just praising us!" With that, she turned to look at the giant. The initial guarded look on his face had faded; he seemed to have settled on some conclusion in his mind and decided they posed no threat. *Uh*, she was willing to bet he had judged them as harmless purely based on their appearance.
What led him to such a conclusion?
"I don't understand a word you're saying. You must be from some remote little place, right?" the giant continued, sounding quite certain of his guess.
Li Dai immediately replied in his language, "Yes, we come from a very far-off, remote place and don't know much about the outside world. Could you help guide us and show us around?" Because the giant was speaking in divine script—that is, the divine tongue—Li Dai used the same language to converse with him so he could understand.
