Lub Su was taken aback by Chen Xi's arrogance. He had considered all sorts of scenarios but he never imagined that Chen Xi, whom he regarded as a prodigy, would be so conceited.
"Do you think I'm too arrogant?" Chen Xi laughed heartily, not minding Lub Su's stunned look at all, "We are both not yet twenty years old if we aren't arrogant now, showing the sagacity and composure of an old man, then what fun will there be when the time comes for us to be prudent? Wouldn't it be boring to think back to today?"
Chen Xi's words left Lub Su dumbfounded once again. Without waiting for him to speak, Chen Xi laughed and said, "Under Lord Xuande's rule, I'm the only one who can be considered a civil official. The others, though in the position of civil officials, are merely assuming the role temporarily. I need someone to help me."
