A group of villagers wanted to get the support of Xi Fei. They did not quite understand the rest, but since Xi Fei was in charge of Luo City under the Heavenly Network, then Xi Fei should be of higher position than Lu Shu.
But within the Heavenly Network, they were not so particular about regulations like salutations, unlike the Collection of Gods who were strict about rank. But everyone clearly knew the necessary senior and junior system.
Hence, the first thing Xi Fei did when he arrived was to salute Lu Shu and exchange greetings. The two of them acted as if no one else was present.
Although the villagers did not hear the positions they called each other, but it was evident that Xi Fei and his colleagues were very polite towards Lu Shu. They were not stupid. They knew that Lu Shu was of higher position than Xi Fei!
