He wasn't offered a seat.
They simply left him standing.
Looking up at the Great Cave Master of the Black Ghost Cave, Cao Yuchen took a deep breath.
'To be honest, I really didn't want to come here. But for that sliver of a possibility, I have no choice but to endure it.'
"Greetings, Great Cave Master."
Since he had come asking for a favor, Cao Yuchen showed the Great Cave Master of the Black Ghost Cave ample respect.
If they had met under normal circumstances, they would have simply addressed each other by name; there would be no need for such a formal title.
"Great Cave Master, I have come in person because I have a favor to ask," Cao Yuchen said.
He appeared perfectly calm on the surface, as if nothing the Great Cave Master of the Black Ghost Cave said could possibly anger him.
And he couldn't afford to get angry.
After all, this was the territory of the Black Ghost Cave sect.
