Zhong Tianque strode forward and supported Si Yinchuan's arm, saying angrily, "Dean Si, aren't you going to exhaust me? You're my mentor, an elder, and I'm just one of your students... What reason is there for you to bow and perform a salute to me?"
Si Yinchuan lifted his head and, with a smile, looked at Zhong Tianque and said, "If Your Highness had come in a personal capacity, then I would not have to perform such a grand salute... But this time Your Highness is representing the King to inspect the work, representing the imperial authority of the Empire, the face of the Royal Family... Naturally, I must salute Your Highness..."
"Not at all, not at all, in front of Dean Si, I will always be your student," Zhong Tianque humbly said.
"Your Highness is too polite," Si Yinchuan responded cheerfully.
Zhong Tianque turned to look at a middle-aged man beside him and said, "Li Xuan, let everyone withdraw. This is White Crane Academy; surely no one dares to assassinate me here?"
