Dressed in flowing white attire akin to that of a grand swordsman, he appeared at the entrance of the hall and immediately shouted out "Godfather" as soon as he came in.
In an instant, everyone in the hall instinctively turned to look at the entrance, their eyes landing on the figure of the white-clad youth with a sword on his back.
Upon hearing this call for "Godfather", the square-faced captain immediately left the tea area with a beaming smile and briskly walked towards the entrance.
The loud shout of "Godfather" from the white-clad youth had been specifically instructed by him.
That previous talk about letting his godson come over for some training was fake.
The real purpose was to show off to his colleagues at the headquarters that he had a provincial top scholar as his godson, seeking to leverage this for career benefits.
As long as his colleagues were aware that he had a provincial top scholar as his godson, his path in the bureaucratic world would become much smoother.
