The old man clenched his teeth, knowing that Yibai was strange, but he had no intention of leaving the main hall.
"Do not cause a commotion."
Yibai did not take issue with it, glanced at the two, and roughly understood that they had gotten into trouble and had come seeking the protection of the Dongyue Emperor.
"Yes, yes, yes! Please do not take offense, sir; we wish to conduct a ritual for the Lord Dongyue. May I ask if you are the temple priest?"
The old man suppressed his fear and inquired with a clasped-hands salute.
"No, the temple priest is not here today."
Yibai answered briefly, no longer speaking, bowed to the statue of the Dongyue Emperor, and stood to the side of the hall, wanting to see what the two were going to do.
"Thank you, sir, for clearing up the confusion!"
