"You flatter me, Brother Yinglong," Yun Yunyang said with a polite smile. "It's we who should apologize for disturbing you with a visit at this hour."
He gestured for his clansmen to take seats around the hall before continuing, "We've long heard of your esteemed family's rise to becoming a new cultivation clan. It is a great accomplishment.
"As a token of our respect, we've brought some spirit stones and spirit pills as gifts. Please, Brother Yinglong, do accept them."
"Brother Yunyang, you're far too generous!"
Su Yinglong laughed heartily, making no move to refuse the offering. Though the number of spirit stones and pills was modest, for the Su family, it was a welcome addition to their coffers.
Yun Yunyang's expression turned serious as he moved to the true purpose of the visit.
"Our visit has two purposes: first, to pay our respects to your family, and second, to discuss fostering a harmonious relationship between our clans. Cooperation benefits us both."
