Hearing his companion's words, Old Li couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"The Emperor saved our family's lives; his kindness is like that of our parents. What's wrong with calling him 'elder'? It's a sign of respect!"
The man pursed his lips, but still stubbornly insisted on his words.
"Hmm, you're right. The Emperor has done us a great favor, so calling him 'Old Man' is really not a bad thing!"
Old Li smiled and nodded, clearly agreeing with his companion's assessment.
"Haha~, right? I just wish the Emperor could live to be a hundred years old, so that we and our children could have a better life!"
The man also laughed out loud, his words revealing his heartfelt support for the current emperor.

Later, this Taoist priest passed through the area preaching and heard about Li Si's family situation. He then treated Li Si's wife for free and also preached to Li Si and the surrounding people.
When Li Si learned that the Taiyi God was worshipped by the Shi people and that the Emperor was the Son of God who acted on behalf of Heaven, he and his neighbors also became lay believers in the Taiping Sect.
