"Elder Chen, please, you must not say such things. I am merely a simple, foolish man. Any success I have today is entirely due to luck and the help of my fellow disciples; you really need not be so formal."
Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong spoke these words of humility from the bottom of his heart, seeing nothing improper in them. However, when these words reached Elder Chen's ears, they took on a different meaning.
Elder Chen mused to himself, "My goodness, this young man—he speaks with such modesty, yet his demeanor feels like he is putting on quite the show of false humility." In reality, Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong had no such intention; it was simply that his way of expressing himself had led to a misunderstanding.
