"Ahaha, Fellow Daoist, what my dear client is trying to say is that we can talk it out", Zhao Biren chimed in with a slightly nervous yet amicable, almost servile attitude - a perfect representation of a local guide who is just trying to make some money and doesn't want to get into any trouble, thus eager to diffuse any potential conflicts.
"And you are?", the Elder turned his gaze to him.
"Hehe, nobody, really. Just one of the many, who guide people as a way to earn a coin on the side", Zhao Biren's smile grew wider. His slightly fidgety attitude, coupled with the very obvious attempts to be as servile as possible instantly triggered disgust and contempt in the eyes of the Righteous Path Sect's Disciples.
"Ah, a fixer, there's a welcome sight", the Elder, on the other hand, chuckled with quite genuine delight, sensing a reasonable man to talk to.
