Then, upon examining the man's hands, which were covered in thick calluses, he realized that the man was an expert in martial arts.
Finally, look at the person's face to see if it looks familiar.
Not familiar with it.
Liu Feiyun knew that the martial arts world was vast and complex, and that he was young and inexperienced. There were countless masters he had never met.
Although the gift was meager, Liu Feiyun dared not be negligent.
"Oh, sir, may I ask your name?"
The man laughed and said, "Your brother and I are old acquaintances. Just call me Shi the Big Stick."
Shi Dagunzi?
Shi Banzhu?
The former head instructor of the 200,000-strong garrison of the capital! A martial arts master at the peak of the ninth rank! Known in the martial arts world as "The Wind and Cloud Staff" Shi Banzhu!
Shi Banzhu, at the peak of the ninth rank in his early thirties, still had the potential to reach the Grandmaster level. Furthermore, he was an old acquaintance of his brother and had a considerable reputation in the martial arts world, so Liu Feiyun dared not be negligent in the slightest.
"It's Brother Shi! My elder brother often talks about you. Now that I've met you, you really are... really... uh... a handsome man."
Shi Banzhu laughed it off, not caring at all.
Liu Feiyun hurriedly said, "Someone, someone, take Brother Shi to the seat of honor!"

Although Liu Kaixiong was carrying expensive premium tea, Liu Feiyun treated him and Shi Banzhu completely differently.
The martial arts world is a very real place. One's status in the martial arts world is only related to strength, and has nothing to do with money, appearance, family background or other factors.
Strength is like a tree trunk; only when the trunk is strong can leaves and fruit hang from it. Otherwise, it's just a castle in the air.
Those with family connections are in a better position. Although others may flatter them superficially, they won't genuinely worship them, but having a family background at least ensures their safety.
Having money and good looks is already a terrible thing.
In the world of martial arts, the strong prey on the weak. If you have resources but no strength, you will end up with nothing.
