Shen Long cupped his fists and said,
"So Elder is Taoist Friend Shen. I've heard from my cousin Yu Bing that Taoist Friend Shen has raised many Gold Ants and is proficient in Insect Repelling Technique, a god amongst men. I am Tang Keqing."
A woman in green, who appeared to be in her early forties, spoke up.
"I am Tang Kezhen, I have seen Taoist Friend Shen."
A tall and thin man in a gold robe introduced himself.
"Xu Yuchen has seen Taoist Friend Shen."
A plump, red-robed old man said.
Xu Tianlei led Shen Long over and they sat down inside the Stone Pavilion.
"Taoist Friend Shen, Yu Bing and I would like to toast to you, to thank you for saving our lives."
Xu Tianlei said earnestly, lifting his cup.
Xu Yubing also lifted his cup, offering a toast to Shen Long.
Shen Long picked up his cup and returned the gesture.
"Taoist Friend Shen is so young yet has raised so many Gold Ants. I wonder which sect or lineage you hail from."
Tang Keqing asked curiously.
