Earl Chu Ye hadn't become the commander of the Northern Legion because he was that outstanding, but because he had the old qualifications.
Furthermore, although he came across as rough and unrestrained, cursing fathers and mothers, cursing the heavens, the earth, and the air, he was inwardly very cautious and humble in his demeanor.
Today, upon meeting Zhi Li, his knees seemed to lack bones, ready to kneel at any moment, as he professed his loyalty to His Highness.
Tomorrow, upon seeing Duke Turing Tuo, his spine would similarly seem to lack any bones as he respectfully addressed him as 'Old Marshal,' 'Old General,' claiming he was ever a humble soldier under your command.
