Chapter 181: Suggestion

Translator: Myuu Editor: Myuu

“Yan Liqiang, have you fully settled all your affairs over these three days?”

“Yes, I have!”

“Have you clearly informed your family?”

“Yes, I did!”

“Then what’s with this dog?” After patiently asking Yan Liqiang the two questions, Liang Yijie’s gaze finally fell on the dog beside Yan Liqiang. “I hope you are clear on the fact that as Lord Sun’s personal attendant, you are here to work, not to enjoy your life and take your dog on leisure walks. You were given three days to settle all these matters. This dog is your pet. You have to either give it away to someone or make it stay at home!”

“Brother Liang, Lord Sun never told me that I wasn’t allowed to bring my dog here!” Yan Liqiang tried to be a bit more courteous toward Liang Yijie as he patiently explained to him. “My dog is different than other dogs. It’s unusually obedient. I will take good care of him here so that it won’t create trouble for anyone. Right, Goldie? If you can understand me, sit down!”

Goldie, who was standing beside Yan Liqiang, instantly sat down on the floor obediently as soon as he heard Yan Liqiang’s instructions. This caused Liang Yijie to look twice at it.

“You must give the dog away! Among the attendants and guards who serve Lord Sun, none of them have ever brought their pets or dogs with them!” Liang Yijie shook his head as he spoke firmly.

“Brother Liang, I am not trying to put you in a difficult position on purpose or trying to be special. However, I must bring this dog no matter where I go. If Brother Liang insists otherwise, then I am extremely sorry to say that I can only leave this place with it together...”

“What did you say?!” Liang Yijie looked at Yan Liqiang in anger and shock, and his voice rose a few notches higher. “You mean that if you are not allowed to keep the dog here, you will leave and refuse to stay as Lord Sun’s attendant?”

“Grrrrrrrr...” When Goldie, who was sitting on the floor, heard Liang Yijie raise his voice and saw him glare at Yan Liqiang, it bared its teeth and started growling dangerously. The gaze it had on Liang Yijie instantly turned fierce as though it was ready to pounce on him at any moment. In such a situation, Liang Yijie couldn’t help but take another glance at Yan Liqiang’s dog. He was secretly astonished because this dog was indeed a little too intelligent. Of course, for someone like Liang Yijie, he wouldn’t even be afraid of a lion with its teeth bared at him, much less a dog.

“Yes.” Yan Liqiang calmly responded to Liang Yijie’s question. “If serving Lord Sun means I don’t even have the freedom to keep a dog as it will make everyone unhappy, then I feel like there is no point for me to stay here. Please express my apology to Lord Sun on my behalf, Brother Liang.”

“YOU...” Liang Yijie was really pissed off by Yan Liqiang. He had never met anyone who would abandon their future prospects over a dog. However, Liang Yijie was only taking it as Yan Liqiang being young and letting his emotions affect his decisions right now. He didn’t think about anything else.

“What apology are you both talking about?” While the both of them were arguing endlessly, a voice came from outside the door. Soon after that, Sun Bingchen walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face. “I heard from someone that you have arrived Liqiang, so I came over to have a look!”

“Greetings, Sir!” Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie bowed to Sun Bingchen respectfully at the same time.

“I think I heard both of you arguing. What is going on?”

Liang Yijie briefly explained the matter to Sun Bingchen, who unexpectedly started laughing loudly. “No worries, no worries. It’s just a dog. If Liqiang wishes to keep it, then he may keep it. This is not the Palace of Hell, there’s no need to make things so solemn. Don’t you see that even His Majesty also brings his dog along when he’s hunting at the Imperial City? So, there’s no problem with it. I actually admire Liqiang for being frank and open. Since Liqiang is capable of taking care of this dog, let him keep it by his side. We have so many people here, there’s no harm in keeping another dog!”

Since Sun Bingchen had spoken, then all the problems were easily solved. Liang Yijie didn’t make any further comments. He only shot a glance at Yan Liqiang and then nodded.

“Thank you for your understanding, Sir!” Yan Liqiang promptly thanked Sun Bingchen.

“You’re welcome. It’s fine as long as you look after your dog and make sure it doesn’t bite anyone. I am meet many different people. It would be terrible if someone who came to see me gets bitten by a dog!”

“Rest assured, Sir. Goldie will definitely not bite anyone without my order!” Yan Liqiang said confidently.

“Oh...?” Sun Bingchen raised his eyebrow. He took another look at Yan Liqiang and Goldie who was obediently sitting on the floor. “You seem really confident, Liqiang. Don’t tell me that you also know how to train dogs?”

“I don’t know how to train dogs. I just happen to have great chemistry with Goldie and it is the only one who will listen to me. It won’t work if it’s other dogs!” Yan Liqiang hurriedly shook his head and joked. If he nodded and Sun Bingchen asked him to train a few more dogs, then he would really cry until he ran out of tears.

“I see!”

......

After meeting Yan Liqiang and chatting briefly with him, Sun Bingchen left.

Since the big boss had spoken, Liang Yijie stopped arguing with Yan Liqiang over trivial matters like these.

Subsequently, Liang Yijie spent almost half an hour informing Yan Liqiang about some of the rules that had to be observed when serving Sun Bingchen by his side. These rules included maintaining confidentiality, not accepting bribes, not intimidating others with Sun Bingchen’s name and reputation, and also having the manners to observe and words to speak around the people whom Sun Bingchen would be meeting.

Yan Liqiang took note of every word he said.

When he asked Yan Liqiang to repeat the information back to him, he realized that Yan Liqiang could recite everything without missing a word. Liang Yijie was really impressed and convinced by Yan Liqiang’s memory. He didn’t say anything else and handed a cloth bundle he had prepared since long ago in the end. “There are two sets of uniforms for Lord Sun’s personal attendants in here. They have been tailored to fit you, and you may officially start wearing them tomorrow. When you start serving Lord Sun, you can’t be too sloppy in your appearance!”

“Understood!”

“Oh right. What kind of weapons do you use? I will order someone to prepare them for you!”

“My stay at the martial arts academy wasn’t that long, so I have yet to officially be trained in a particular weapon. I have cultivated a Tiger Roaring Consecutive Fist technique, and also a little on the basics of a spear technique before...”

“How’s your cultivation in archery then?”

“This bow is a gift from someone. I can barely use it!” Yan Liqiang replied humbly.

The expression on Liang Yijie’s face turned grave again. “Dangers are inevitable when serving by Lord Sun’s side. Apart from self-defense, we also need to protect Lord Sun in times of danger. Therefore, you mustn’t slack on your cultivation at all costs!”

“Alright, understood!”

“Then I have nothing else to say. You may tidy up the place you will be staying at and try to adapt yourself around here. If you need anything else, you may directly order the servants here. Your meal will be delivered to you during dinner time!” Liang Yijie said while making his way outside. A few steps later, he stopped in his tracks again. He turned around and his eyes shined as though he had recalled something. “Since you are calling me Big Brother, I would like to give you a suggestion!”

“Yes, Brother Liang?”

“When everyone does their morning practice tomorrow morning, I suggest that it would be best for you to go around the morning practice area and show off your best technique and skill to the others. That way, it can save you a lot of trouble. Capable men are respected no matter where they go. You should get what I’m trying to say here!”

Yan Liqiang slightly muttered to himself irresolutely before he nodded. “Thank you for the advice, Brother Liang. I get what you mean!”

Yan Liqiang scratched his head as he watched Liang Yijie leave. He understood what he was trying to imply, but what should he show if he were to really go there tomorrow morning?
