While it's true that a hero's origins don't matter, a Martial Artist can't succeed just by training blindly. The adage 'a great master produces a great disciple' is a far more common truth.
Bai Yuan's master was Dong Wanjun, now a high-ranking official of the junior second grade, and Bai Yuan himself had become the Lingzhou General. The influence of this lineage at Court was already beginning to show.
Having spent a long time in the Imperial Palace, the old eunuch possessed extraordinary insight. He understood the immense potential of this master and disciple, and knew he had to treat them with due importance.
He chuckled. "Lord Bai, His Majesty also has a verbal decree he wishes this old servant to convey."
A verbal decree?
Bai Yuan was taken aback.
It wasn't just him; Kong Sen and the other Ling Province officials at his side were also stunned.
Only high-ranking ministers who enjoyed the Emperor's profound favor ever received a verbal decree.
