Jiushan Sect disciples greeted him with smiling faces and a bow.
Some addressed him as 'teacher,' others as 'real person'...
Those who called him 'teacher' were naturally the disciples studying agriculture under him.
And those who called him 'real person' were aware of the significant contributions he had made for the Jiushan Sect.
Both did so with intimacy and respect.
His aptitude was not impressive, nor was his cultivation high; never mind in a sect like Jiushan, with Nascent Souls... ah, Divinity Transformations, even in his original Qianhe Sect, he had never received such respect.
Usually, he would return each greeting earnestly, greatly enjoying this respect.
But today he was somewhat perfunctory, or rather, seemed apprehensive to face them.
It was only when passing by the Hall of Heroes that he slowed his pace and glanced inside.
His gaze fell upon the statues of himself and several disciples.
