The title of leader is a unique one. The soul of the army, the mastermind behind the reforms and opening-up. Whether in terms of status or position, it is extraordinary.
Ordinarily, a person of the stature of the leader wouldn't act this way, not even in the course of alliance building.
For Nie Zhenbang, and even Nie family, this is a monumental honor. Superficially, Nie Zhenbang, at this moment, can be said to have firmly established his position as the crown prince of Jingcheng.
