Certainly, even though Lin Tianming had already broken through to the Golden Core Stage, surpassing him in cultivation realm.
But he didn't need to be overly wary of Lin Tianming, let alone the entire Lin Family, treating them just as equals.
After all, he hailed from the Nascent Soul Forces and was the chief representative of the Sky Dragon Pavilion here, his status equally esteemed.
Although the gap in cultivation was evident, in a small place like Wei Kingdom, even Golden Core Cultivators had to show him some respect.
This way, Tang Xiuyuan also remained quite composed.
And naturally, Lin Tianming didn't care about these superficial honors, especially since the Lin Family couldn't afford to provoke the Tang Family of Qingzhou, obviously, he wouldn't fuss over such matters.
Thus, he just smiled and then courteously said,
"Tang, don't make too much of it!"
