After listening to the other party, Zhuge Yuan was stunned for a while before reacting. He quickly replied, "The elder is too modest. I've only gained some insight under the tutelage of my master, nothing worth mentioning."
From the elder's words, it seemed he wasn't too angry, perhaps there was still a chance for mediation.
He didn't mind for himself, but he didn't want Li Jinshu to be punished for helping him, after all, he was the one who sought Li's help.
The other party helped without asking for anything in return. If Li were punished because of it, he would really feel guilty.
"This insight is not ordinary, common folk don't have such insight." The elder, with his hands behind his back, began circling Zhuge Yuan, "Tell me, who are you, and where do you come from?"
"Master, he was the one before—" Before Li Jinshu could finish, the elder waved his broad sleeve over Li's mouth. "Did I ask you? Is this young one mute?"
