The old Daoist burst into laughter, "Interesting, you're quite interesting, kid, and you've got thick skin too. Hehe, but it suits my taste."
Tangyu was overjoyed inside, "Master, please accept your disciple's bow." Strike while the iron is hot, securing the deal is everything. However, as Tangyu attempted to bow, he found himself held up by an invisible force, unable to bow no matter how hard he tried.

It made Tangyu even more certain that the old Daoist before him was an exceedingly powerful figure.
