"There's really no need for any grand thanks. You saved my life, and I haven't even repaid that yet."
I also clasped my fists toward Old Zhao, casually asking, "By the way, your Taoist Heart is steady, your demeanor so dignified, you don't seem like a Banished Immortal, how did you end up here?"
As I asked this question, I felt nervous inside.
I was touching upon Old Zhao's privacy, and if he thought I was prying, he might just turn hostile.
"Sit down," Old Zhao, however, seemed unbothered. Seeing that my large belly made me uncomfortable, he gestured for me to sit back down and replied calmly, "Of course, I'm not banished. Those who commit crimes where I'm from are punished by the Heavenly Dao and not sent down to the Lower Realm... I came here to catch a fugitive."
"Catch a fugitive?" I was eager to see Yu Longting's expression at that moment, but afraid Old Zhao would see through me, I had to feign calmness, "Is there... a celestial being that's come down here??"
