As the young girl had mentioned, their Meng Family was a prestigious family with significant influence spanning military, political, and commercial landscapes. She had known smooth sailing in everything she ever resolved to do since her birth. People always sought her out for assistance, but she had never found the need to ask anything of anyone.

Yet the unfamiliar martial arts master standing before her seemed to have no interest in any of these things.
He disdained the unscrupulous sources of the Meng Family's wealth and declined their money.
He believed the Meng Family exploited their privilege for personal gains, so he refused their power.
He didn't need the recognition the Meng Family would give him after he cured their grandfather, so he also declined their fame.
