Relieved.
Receiving good fortune out of the blue.
Liang Qu hummed a tune, his steps light as he left the study.
From the third floor down to the second.
"Ashui, what are you humming about? Why are you so happy?"
"So delighted, aren't you going to treat us to a meal?"
Ke Wenbin, Xiang Fangsu, and the others leaned against the railing, teasing and joking.
"How about it?" Ran Zhongyi asked with a smile, "Did the Magistrate come to you for some great news?"
Liang Qu sighed lightly and turned his head to greet them with a cupped-hand salute.
"I might accidentally break our dynasty's record and become Dashun's youngest Great Warrior Master. It's embarrassing, really."
"Hahaha!"
"You've got the right flavor, you went to Yellow State for over two months and haven't changed a bit!"
Everyone laughed aloud.
