Yet the moment those words left his mouth, he saw the faintly smiling, not-quite-smiling expression on Wei Tu's face.
His heart jolted, and he hurriedly bowed in apology, explaining, "This junior was reckless and offended Senior Wei. Though those words were meant to test you... they were also to confirm your true identity, lest petty villains deceive the world and steal another's name by impersonating Senior Wei."
