"Greetings to you both, Elders."
As Shen Chongming cupped his hands in respect, Li Qing waved them away with a smile, "You're just a Purple Mansion, calling me an elder is somewhat inappropriate."
"Let's just address each other as fellow Daoists."
The Cultivation Realm often works this way; interactions are guided by individual perspectives.
Li Qing and the Golden-haired Monkey are brothers; since Shen Chongxu is a disciple of the Golden-haired Monkey, he naturally calls Li Qing an elder.
However, although Shen Chongming and Shen Chongxu are brothers, Shen Chongming's realm is higher than Li Qing's, so Li Qing does not wish to be called "Elder" by a Purple Mansion.
Setting aside customary rites, after exchanging courtesies, Shen Chongming curiously looked at Shen Chongxu, "When the Dao crumbled in Yangnao Land, how did you end up here without returning to Yunshui City?"
Shen Chongxu, hearing this, sighed with emotion, "It's a long story."
