The unkempt Celestial Fool acted especially serious and formal, which greatly surprised Zuo Wentao, who knew his character well.
Zuo Wentao quickly reacted, pulling the still-dazed Tao Jun, and the two went forward together to bow deeply and salute Gao Xuan.
Zuo Wentao said, "The monks of the Buddhist Sect are ambitious and cruel. Their coming was aggressive, and it was entirely thanks to the Celestial Master's intervention that the disaster was quelled."
Tao Jun also smiled and said, "The monks of the Buddhist Sect fell into Demon Dao; this action by the Celestial Master to subdue demons is most gratifying."
To be fair, Zuo Wentao and Tao Jun are both exceptionally clever people, and flattering others is their expertise.
However, seeing all the strong practitioners of the Northern Province's Buddhist Sect being wiped out by Gao Xuan made both their hearts tremble.
While speaking flattering words, they were less natural and more uneasy.
