Tan Shuchang's meeting with the head of the Qitian Pavilion ended swiftly, neither on a sour note nor with particular warmth. After departing, Qiu Junlin would occasionally glance at Tan Shuchang with a strange expression, seeming to have something to say but hesitating to speak.
Therefore, Tan Shuchang, very considerately, said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"You're actually a Daoist General?" When Qiu Junlin said this, his tone inevitably carried a sense of amazement. As the son of the head of the Pavilion, even if he paid little heed to its affairs, he was very clear what the position of a Daoist General meant.
Though the third rank might not appear impressive at first glance, seeming neither high nor low, if considered in a local context, it was invariably an apex of power.
The Frontier Officials usually possessed this rank.
