"Li Ming of Longgang Prefecture, Qingzhou. It's an honor to finally meet you, Lord Bai."
Li Ming smiled, clasped his fist, and walked toward Bai Yuan.
He ignored Li Huan, who was standing to the side.
This man usually had a natural air of authority, yet his smile could make one feel as pleasant as a spring breeze.
As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling man. Bai Yuan clasped his fist in return. "Lord Li."
Qingzhou was the private domain of the Qingzhou Royal Mansion, which appointed all of its official positions. Li Huan and Li Ming were equivalent to Prefects, so addressing them as "Lord" was well within etiquette.
"I've long heard of Lord Bai of Ling Province's great renown. Seeing you today, you are truly as exceptional as they say—a man above the common sort."
"..."
Bai Yuan was speechless.
Just like Li Huan, Li Ming was incredibly talkative.
