"Madam, I'm full, really full! I can't eat anymore."
Liang Qu's bowl was piled up like a little mountain, politely declining Madam Xu's kindness. After finishing lunch and riding on Crimson Mountain with a round belly, he wobbled home, basking in the bright future of his master becoming the third Grandmaster.
Everyone has a bright future!
He pushed open the gate.
"Elder!"
"Oh, Eying and Bing Lin, I didn't see you this morning. Did you go out?" Liang Qu patted the horse's back, letting Crimson Mountain return to the stable on its own.
Long Eying bowed slightly in respect, "Thank you for your concern, Elder. Yanrui achieved the rank of Grandmaster at the beginning of August, so there have been many affairs to attend to within the clan.
Since you went fishing and we had no pressing matters, we would go back to help out for half a day, learn some insights from the Grandmaster, and then hurry back in the afternoon, so the Elder wouldn't find no one around."
