"Astute observation." Realizing that the young man in white had noticed him within moments of his appearance, the old man put his hands together respectfully as he greeted the young man, "I wonder... is it convenient for me to have a cup of tea with you?"
"Not at all." Zhou Donghuang stared at the old man as he rejected him immediately.
"Young man, don't you think... it's impolite to reject someone at the door?" The old man did not expect to be rejected. He was first shocked, then could not help but frown.
"So what if I am impolite? I, Zhou Donghuang, have always done whatever I want... what does your opinion have got to do with me?" Zhou Donghuang said flippantly.
"I am from the Yunyang imperial court!" reminded the old man seriously as he frowned.
"So?" Zhou Donghuang's tone did not change as he replied impatiently, "Say your piece, then you may leave."
