"According to Master Gan, the ceremonial team hadn't returned by the time I left. He told me that whatever you're planning, you should take it easy.
The Sect is severely short-staffed right now. We simply can't spare any capable people to help you. Disciples from the Inner Sect's peaks who are at the Tai Chi Stage or above, and even many Advanced Apprentices, have all been sent to the Sect's various Affiliated Families for disaster relief.
There's simply no one free. If the people I brought weren't Outer Disciples—and ones with very little cultivation, at that—I wouldn't have been able to bring anyone at all," Li Shifan said respectfully.
At that moment, the Flying Ship landed. Dozens of disciples with varying cultivation levels all disembarked. They bowed to Zhang Deming and said, "Greetings, Martial Grand-Uncle! Greetings, Martial Uncle!"
