The people in the Kitchen Room froze upon hearing the voice, except for Wang Xiaoqiang. The other five displayed looks of awe, as they recognized the speaker to be the Miscellaneous Servant Disciple Chairman Real Person, Hee Dakuan.
As the leader of all Miscellaneous Servant Disciples, Hee Dakuan is usually quite stern, but he tends to be more lenient towards those in the Kitchen Room, generally refraining from bossing around Zhang Dapang and the others.
After all, Zhang Dapang and his crew, taking advantage of their positions, often have opportunities to interact with the Sect Leader and elders, thus are closer in status to the higher-ups than other disciples. Hence the saying: "The pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first." At least Zhang Dapang and his peers have the chance to report or lodge complaints, so Hee Dakuan dares not command them around.
