Listening to Director Nalan laying out his plans, Yang Xiao felt more gratitude than excitement.
He could achieve what he has today because Director Nalan provided significant help, paving the way for him.
It was Director Nalan who taught him step by step how to interact with people, how to survive in both officialdom and the world of martial arts. Their relationship has long surpassed the ordinary superior-subordinate bond; one could say they are as close as father and son.
"Director, everything I, Yang Xiao, have accomplished today is thanks to your help. I can never repay your kindness in my lifetime," Yang Xiao spoke emotionally.
"Little Yang, there's no need for such words between us. You are a worthy child, the heavens have not treated me unfairly. Seeing you inherit my mantle in my lifetime means I have no regrets," Director Nalan replied.
