The Lord of Xuanwu Palace, Lianling Immortal, ultimately left in a huff. Li Xuan had no choice but to tidy himself up and follow Master Liuru to the Duchenghuang Temple.
Zhonglie Duke Wen was already waiting for him there. When Li Xuan stepped into the Duchenghuang Temple, Duke Wen immediately appeared in his full deity form.
Li Xuan promptly paid his respects, "Disciple Li Xuan, pays homage to Zhonglie Duke Wen."
"Get up, neither of us are ones for formalities. There's no need for all this. The etiquettes of Confucianism are to uphold laws, maintain principles, follow norms, and emphasize hierarchical order, but not in this context."
With a wave of his sleeve, Duke Wen lifted Li Xuan up with his divine power, "Moreover, I have not taught you much all along. On the contrary, you, Li Xuan, have done me many favours."
