"Changsheng, you've truly become famous throughout all of Daqi," Song Xianyun said, deeply pleased.
"But that's not necessarily a good thing," Song Changsheng replied with a wry smile.
'The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.'
He had only intended to fill a spot for Luoxia City. He never thought he would make it this far, stealing the show from everyone else. This hadn't been his intention.
Still, the rewards this time were immense, so it wasn't all bad.
"Twenty-First Grandpa, Teacher has bestowed Five Elements Peak upon us, along with the surrounding three thousand li of land. This is the Map; please, have a look." Song Changsheng passed over the Map he was holding.
Song Xianyun accepted the Map, his hands trembling. The dense annotations covering it were all catalysts for the Song Clan's future rise.
"Worth it. It was all worth it. All of it." Song Xianyun's voice trembled.
