On the third day of Pei Shaoqing's seclusion, Sun Youliang arrived once again at the State Mansion in Jin Guan City to call on Households Commander Lu Dingchuan.
"Squad Leader Sun, what brings you here again? What is it this time?" Lu Dingchuan asked, his expression full of curiosity.
Sun Youliang, who was kneeling on one knee, looked up with a brilliant smile. "I have come to offer my congratulations, my lord!"
"Oh? And what do I have to be congratulated for?" Lu Dingchuan asked, raising an eyebrow.
Sun Youliang declared, "Lord Households Commander, just after you appointed Lord Pei as a Standard-Bearer, he personally slew the Profound Sect rebel, the Kaiyang Saint Heir, three days ago. This is a testament to your ability to recognize and properly employ talent. Is this not an occasion for congratulations? Is it not a joyous event?"
