The Delicate Balance. (1)

Laohu Bai snickered when she saw the look on Yang Dao's face. The boy asked the people who knelt in front of them, "Excuse me, Old Sir. Can I come aboard your... Um, vessel?" 

His humble tone surprised the people. They did not expect him to be so polite. The old man hurriedly stood up and with a bent back, he said, "Yes, it will be our honor to have you come over. Please, lord please, be welcome." 

Yang Dao slowly landed on the deck and looked around. Laohu Bai stood behind him in silence. The boy asked, "Old Sir, what is this gigantic airship?" 

The old man was confused. He said, "Sir, mean the elemental vessel?" 

Yang Dao replied, "Yes, can you teach me about it old sir?" he was calm and polite.
