"King of Heaven, my apologies for this farce. While I'm still able, I will properly reorganize the Green Emperor Sect. If this continues, I fear I won't be able to face my old friends."
He spoke to Ye Fan with great courtesy. Although he was old enough to be considered Ye Fan's senior among Martial Artists, he had to show respect when faced with someone of equal strength. Both were Kings, but Ye Fan was the King among Kings, so he had to treat Ye Fan as a peer. A Martial Artist's status is determined by their skill in Martial Arts; it has nothing to do with age or seniority. For instance, since Ye Fan's strength was a cut above his own, he had to show him adequate respect. To do otherwise would be to violate the rules of the underworld. Because of this, his attitude toward Ye Fan had been nothing but respectful from the moment he arrived.
"No need to be so polite," Ye Fan said.
