Upon a closer look, Aoki Ichiro was tall and thin, while the monk "Xingye Zhishu" had a chubby face with big ears.
When they reached a distance of 50 meters, both men stopped in their tracks.
Aoki Ichiro said in standard Xia Language,
"Master Qiu's visit must be for the volcano Spiritual Spring in the Changbai Spirit Realm?"
Qiu Ying, while casually clipping his nails, replied indifferently, "That's right, you'd better scram quickly, or I'll have to take action."
"Master Qiu's abilities are world-renowned, powerful enough to single-handedly kill two Manifesting Saints from the Hengshan Sect. I naturally have great respect for that."
Aoki Ichiro started with a compliment and then suggested,
"It is commonly said that it is better to resolve enmities rather than to escalate them. The spiritual spring is sufficient for three people to use, so my side is willing to let you use it once without any compensation, to avoid any hard feelings. How about that?"
