In the Great Zhou Empire, not to mention a minor third-class Earl like Ye Zhen, even Marquises are a dime a dozen; showing off a noble rank is of little use.
To say nothing of others, as far as Ye Zhen knows, at this very moment in the Ancient Teleportation Formation of Shahe City, there are two Marquises, more than twenty Earls, and hundreds of Viscounts queuing up.
As for caravans holding various Marquis Tokens, even those with Duke Tokens have several, but still, they have to queue.
At most, they are shown some respect to ensure their safety, ensuring the military doesn't harass them.
Therefore, Ye Zhen does not reveal his identity as a third-class Earl, but rather his identity as the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy of the Western Patrol of the Heavenly Patrol Department.
With this identity, even a Duke would need to tread carefully upon meeting him.
