Yang Xiao was sizing up Liu Jingzhi, and Liu Jingzhi was also sizing up Yang Xiao.
Upon seeing Yang Xiao, Liu Jingzhi clearly became quite restrained. He must have done some homework, as he recognized Yang Xiao at first glance.
Even if he had not prepared, and could not recognize Yang Xiao, with his intelligence, he would have guessed it.
"Jingzhi has met Mr. Yang, and thanks Mr. Yang for your life-saving grace!" Liu Jingzhi had a scholarly air and, facing his lifesaver, did not prostrate himself but instead bowed elegantly to Yang Xiao.
His bow was of the highest etiquette, not one bit inferior to kneeling and kowtowing.
Afterward, he did not rise but waited for Yang Xiao to speak.
Seeing his manner, he definitely put himself in a position lower than Yang Xiao.
Seeing this, Yang Xiao certainly could not calmly accept Liu Jingzhi's gesture.
Due to his personality, Yang Xiao never felt himself above others, superior to others.
