Hearing Lin Li's movements, the old man looked up, his face still showing undisguised curiosity and scrutiny. "Young friend, have you finished cultivating?"
Has he been watching me for a while now?
Lin Li's expression was still a bit stiff, but he then let out a small sigh of relief. From this reaction, it seemed that the old man had no malice towards him.
At least not for now.
So he nodded and politely inquired, "Sir, you are...?"
"My Taoist name is Shan Qing, you can call me Shanqing Daoist." The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
"Greetings, Shanqing Daoist, I am... Lin Li."
Lin Li initially considered introducing himself as Bai Bufan, but thought better of it. This Old Deng might have some ability to see through falsehoods, and if he lied and was found out, his impression points would immediately plummet.
Better to be honest.
