Zhao Youliang, his face wreathed in a grin, was the first to bow, laying the flattery on thick.
Not to be outdone, Duan Ning chimed in, "Altar Master, during your absence, we have diligently followed your instructions. The altar's affairs are in perfect order, and the income from our various enterprises has increased by another thirty percent. One could say things are flourishing!"
