Chen Xi left, leaving behind a bitter-faced Lub Su. Lub Su was a local tyrant, and Chen Xi was from an aristocratic family. It was that simple, at least in Lub Su's eyes.

Indeed, that's the grandeur of a millennia-old family!" Lub Su first muttered to himself, then roared loudly, venting his dissatisfaction.
