"Goodnight, Master." Old Peng bowed respectfully at his good owner.
They had just finished their dinner and although his master only took a few bites to taste each of the dishes on the table, Old Peng was not alarmed at all.
He had been used to Lu Chen's eating habits already and there were even times when his good master had no appetite whatsoever and would continue to drown himself in the familiar company of insobriety.
Old Peng had lost count how many times he and Lu Chen had drunk themselves to sleep. It would have been better if they had more company before but old Lu Chen was as aloof as they come.
He never really had any close relationships ever since that fateful day. In the end, Old Peng was perhaps the only friend that Lu Chen had won in this lifetime.
'But that's all going to change from now on.' Old Peng thought and a smile could be seen hanging easily on his wrinkled timeworn face.
Lu Fang was a testament that his master could change for the good and the reunion earlier today was especially promising to better days ahead.
"Hmmm... Thank you for your service today, Lai Peng. This is only the beginning. You and I will move to places more awesome than this mere Lu Clan. To where we will end, I don't know.
But one thing is for sure, you will never be left behind, my good devoted servant. What heights I will see, you shall also witness in full. A beautiful horizon awaits us, Lai Peng.
Are you willing to take on the journey with me?" Clark asked lightly.
"It is my pleasure to serve you, Master Lu. And as long as I still breathe, there shall only be one master that I, Lai Peng, shall ever bow to." Old Peng responded and kowtowed deeply to show his allegiance.
Even without this deliberate display of humility, Clark would absolutely not doubt the words of his slave.
He has seen the steadfast character of Lai Peng in which time has not been able to diminish at all even after several decades of constant tests and tribulations.
Together, they had withstood the mockery of their neighbors and even outlived a few select scoundrels who took delight in Lu Chen's downfall.
Alas, Clark could really not find any flaw in this old man's temperament. Old Peng was perhaps the only good thing that ever happened to Lu Chen in his lifetime.
"I'm happy to hear that, Lai Peng." Clark put a tender hand on Old Peng's shoulder and helped the faithful slave up.
No words needed to be said as the two were already used to each other's company for many years.
Both retired to rest their tired bones in the comforts of their own beds but such luxury was not anymore available for our good protagonist.
"THUD!" the archaic double doors closed which concluded Clark's busy schedule. But unbeknownst to all, his endless vigil has only just begun.
