Examining the slightly scraggly middle-aged man in front of him, Li Chang Hu only took a moment before a similar smile grew on his face, and he stood up from the table to let out a deep bow, "Indeed, this one goes by the name Li Chang Hu. Grand Teacher Hu is a bit of a mouthful, so if you don't mind, Chang Hu or Mister Li are all fine. Today, I've come here to thank you for saving one of our precious students and to listen to any requests you might have while passing through the Academy's lands."
Confronted with this great treat of respect, Di Tou was stunned for a moment and wasn't quite sure how to react when a small thump sounded out as Yang Lee placed a pot of tea on the table alongside a couple of tables.
