Tian Junjie rubbed his eyes and realized it really was his Senior Brother. Instantly wearing a flattering smile, he gave the still-boastful Young Master Song a light knock on the head, walked up to Zhao Yi, and bowed with cupped hands. "Greetings, Senior Brother. Are you out enjoying the night view too? Had I known you were coming, I would have acted as your guide. I am quite familiar with this Capital." He then glanced sideways at the beautiful woman and continued, "Senior Brother, are these candied haws yours? How much do they cost? Don't worry, I'll have someone pay for them right now." Turning to Young Master Song, he barked, "Hey, Song, fork over the cash! Pay the old man for the candied haws, quickly now, don't drag your feet."
Having received a knock to the head, Young Master Song was still feeling baffled when he saw the Immortal Master bow to the young gentleman and address him as Senior Brother. His face instantly turned ashen, and he screamed inwardly in terror, *It's over. I've offended the Grand Sacrificial, my life is finished! I can only pray Immortal Tian can save me.*
Hearing the command to pay, Young Master Song scrambled to pull out a handful of broken silver pieces, shoved them into the old man's hands, and waved frantically for him to hurry away. Then he shuffled over to Zhao Yi, dropped heavily to his knees, and kowtowed while crying out, "I pay my respects to the Sacrificial Lord! I beg the Sacrificial Lord to spare my life!"
