"Mr. Xiao, how is it?"
"Congratulations on your promotion to Colonel of the Po Rong Army, commanding 500 troops, and receiving a reward of 3,000 taels of silver, 100 mu of fertile land, and a residence in Wuchuan Prefecture."
Lu Tu waved his hand: "You know that's not what I'm asking."
“Xu Jing came to me and asked me what I thought. I said that my life belonged to the master, so he let me go and even sent the master a century-old ginseng to nourish his body.”

Nangong Huiyu asked curiously, "If your husband tells you to speak, then speak."
Xiao Zhong knelt down with a thud: "Please, Senior Sister, let me take a look at Master's last words. I really miss her terribly!"
