"Great Grandmaster, I dare not accept your courtesies." Li Yao quickly sidestepped, even though he couldn't detect the other's identity, the robes were a clear sign that he held a significant rank in this city.
"Even though you only made a low-level Fire Gun, the craftsmanship was exceptional. I've only seen such mastery two or three times in my life. Today, I was fortunate enough to witness it again, any future advancements of mine will be thanks to what I've learned today." The elder was very sincere.
"You're giving me too much credit. I'm just a mid-level engineer. You, on the other hand, are a Grandmaster. You're in a whole different league." Li Yao hurriedly responded, at the same time feeling a twinge of regret. He wished he hadn't cut corners to save time and ended up attracting the attention of this fellow, resulting in this awkward situation.
