"Speak your mind," Kai Syaoran said. Even though he had countless ways to find out everything about the sect mistress, he had no intention of doing anything like that. Life was better with some of the mystery still allowed to exist.
Yue Yao looked at the old woman with curiosity. She was not sure about the woman's identity. She seemed human just like all the other people she had come with, but none of them smelled human.
"I request that the great Inferno King allow my sect to cultivate within the Inferno Sea," the sect mistress said.
Kai Syaoran nodded. This request was as he expected. He also understood that this was not entirely what she wanted.
"I already know about the deal you had with the former Inferno King. He allowed you to cultivate in the Inferno Sea but for a limited amount of time each year, and your numbers had to be controlled never to exceed one thousand at any given time. Why are you not bringing this up? Are you trying to pull the wool over my eyes?"
