Master Shen's purpose in playing coy had been achieved. Only then did he proudly instruct his servants to distribute the prepared pills to everyone.
Don't think Master Shen was so generous and kind-hearted; he was merely taking the opportunity to win people's hearts.
Having power in a place is not about how capable you are as an individual.
It's about how many people are willing to work for you.
Some individuals may be very capable, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are liked. If they have a poor reputation, they will face rejection and defection, surrounded only by fair-weather followers who, when real trouble arises, run faster than anyone else.
Having wandered through the jianghu for so many years, Master Shen was very clear about these matters.
In times of glory, all are followers; in twilight, true believers are revealed.
Everyone received three pills from Master Shen's servant.
