Zhao Ge immediately showed a look of astonishment.
Lady Lian brought out this identity with intent. Although Divine House Mountain is located in a remote area, the Zhongtai Sect is nominally its Upper Sect, and it remains one of the Five Major Sects of the era. By borrowing this title, she could present her terms with more ease.
However, she was also very measured, not putting on an overbearing attitude. If she did, others would suspect she was here to seize the Dharma Treasure, rather than negotiate properly, which would first create resistance, making it unwise.
Seeing Zhao Ge moved, she felt a tinge of pride in her heart, but when she noticed Zhang Yan remained expressionless, she had to tuck away her bit of joy, and thought to herself, "This True Master Zhang is indeed someone not to be underestimated."
