Hearing how humble that person was, Li Debo felt a bit more at ease. What he feared most was running into someone who, relying on his own background, was arrogant and conceited, looking down on others.
If you treat such a person kindly, you end up sulking and suffering; but if you offend him, you worry that his faction will bear a grudge against you—it truly makes one uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he was not that kind of person.
The smile on Li Debo's face grew warmer, and he said, "Fellow Daoist, you have come from afar. Please, come in and have a cup of spiritual tea and rest for a moment."
"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist, but there's no need to trouble yourself."
The Earth Immortal shook his head and said, "I am on an important mission and time is of the essence. I will state my purpose right here."
