Investigation.

Shi Lang looked at Patriarch Zhu and replied, "With all due respect, Sir. The intersection I had with Young Master Zhu was not a dispute. It was an incident where I complained to him about the misconduct of someone designated to work for him. This person humiliated me by relying on your family name. Young Master Zhu Lin was kind to me and provided me with justice. I do have to confess that I was out of line in my actions." 

He was trained in diplomacy; how could he let Patriarch Zhu get ahead of him? His words were so tight that the old man was surprised. Patriarch Zhu narrowed his gaze, and even Elder Tie was shocked. They both discussed Shi Lang's involvement the night before. Patriarch Zhu was surprised to find that an Immortal King realm cultivator could keep up with the attacks of an Immortal Sovereign.
