Bai Shanqiu has three sons and one daughter, all married; the eldest son is Bai Yucheng, who is already forty-one years old this year. Bai Yucheng is not only older than him, but with a strength of 19 Manes, he is far superior.
This is Xiang Liang's current awkward situation. Whether it's the ninth-rank title or the position of Vice Chief of Punishment, with his current 13 Manes strength, he is far from qualified.
From his preliminary understanding, there are currently 339 nobles in the Great Xia, with strength generally above 25 Manes; those with 20 Manes are very rare, even Bai Shanqiu, who was knighted at the same time without War Body Talent, has a strength of 16 Manes.
Thus, he is at the bottom of the nobles in terms of strength as a Ninth-Rank Xuanling Marquis.
The awkwardness lies in the fact that those stronger than him must address him as "Lord" and proactively salute him, as per Xia Li's regulations, if they don't have a noble title.
