"First Elder, this disciple has one more request to make. I wonder if you would grant it?" Lin Tianchen took a deep breath and steadied his mind. Having already figured out the answer to his previous question, he saw no need to dwell on it further. After all, there was still a matter of paramount importance left unfinished.
Murong Mei, seated high above, nodded slightly and parted her lips. "Speak your mind!" Although her first impression of Lin Tianchen was truly poor, this was a grand gathering of the sect exchange, and as First Elder, she naturally had to uphold the most basic principles of fairness. She could not let personal feelings obstruct a disciple's path of seeking knowledge and inquiry.
Having received permission, Lin Tianchen straightened his posture, looked steadily at Murong Mei, and said slowly, "In my future cultivation, if I encounter any difficult questions, may I come to your immortal cave, First Elder, and seek your guidance in person?" With that, he quietly awaited her response, his demeanor neither servile nor overbearing, without the slightest trace of timidity.
