Dean Garner, stroking his beard and smiling, said, "Cody Wilson, it's been a long time."
Cody Wilson stayed silent, his face clearly showing some displeasure.
Dean Garner glanced around, exclaiming in surprise, "There sure are a lot of people here today. What's the occasion? An immortals' reunion?"
At Dean Garner's words, the expressions on everyone's faces grew even more unnatural.
"Huh? Weren't you dead? Faking your death, were you?"
"That old geezer, as I recalled, you've moved on, haven't you? I heard you choked to death overindulging in Pills, how did you show up today?"
"And that one, what's your name again? You look very familiar."
Dean Garner prattled on, showing none of the dignity expected of powerful cultivators, instead acting like an crude old man.
Everyone's faces grew more displeased. Cody Wilson finally thundered, "That's enough! Dean Garner, what's your purpose here? State your intention clearly."
