The Only One Who Is Generous, Benevolent and Modest Is I, Cheng Kong

Fu Xiang's reputation was severely damaged by Long Zaitian in the flying fish pavilion. But thankfully, his men had finally come back to report in and make a good showing. And it wasn't just one team that came back. A total of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven teams returned!

They didn't return to report in for a long time, but now they had, and seven teams had returned at that. Fu Xiang felt relieved and daggered Long Zaitian, but Long Zaitian just looked unhappy. Fu Xiang, feeling relieved loudly ordered: "Come up and report to his majesty. Hurry up!"

Long Zaitian was a brash man and looked brash for that matter. Fu Xiang placed heavy emphasis on looking after his appearance so he looked lively and energetic even though he wasn't handsome. If they stood next to each other, you really wouldn't be able to tell who's older. He didn't know what to verbally sling back at him so he just brushed it off.

Long Zaitian then said:
