Regarding Nancy's attempt to smooth things over, Lin Rui saw through it clearly, but he stood there calmly without saying a word, just quietly watching Nancy.
Faraday still had to bow his head, especially since the situation was now in favor of the strong. Bowing to a powerful figure was not an unacceptable act. He quickly bowed and said, "I sincerely apologize, Lord Lin Rui. I am a rash person and lack understanding of etiquette. The sparring methods commonly used in the military have offended your dignity."
Nancy quickly said, "Yes, yes. Lord Lin Rui, please don't hold it against such a rash person. It would be beneath your status. The Imperial Army does indeed test new commanders lightly to prevent them from being incompetent. After all, if they can't even withstand a single blow from their subordinates, they can't command respect, right?"
