Refining Fire Hall.
"Great Saint, I have come to pay my respects," said the Lord of the Fire Virtue Star, taking the initiative to greet him.
"Courtesy appreciated, appreciated indeed," replied Sun Wukong, still standing with his hands clasped behind his back, maintaining his stature.
Though he held the position of Armory Command at the Refining Fire Hall, his celestial rank as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven should tower above that of all other chief gods in Heaven.
Furthermore, being a Daluo Golden Immortal, he became a unique presence within the Refining Fire Hall. Despite his low official rank, even the Lord of the Fire Virtue Star treated him with respect.
Moreover, from the Lord of the Fire Virtue Star's demeanor and actions, Sun Wukong perceived a show of respect.
He felt that his virtues had convinced the other party; he did not think much further on this.
