"Sir..." Gao Lingfeng hesitated as he looked at Chu Zhiyuan before leaving.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at him, "Since when did Master Gao start beating around the bush?"
"...Sir, now that you've stepped into the realm of a Grandmaster, you can choose a new position," Gao Lingfeng slowly said, "Do you plan to leave the Ministry of Rites?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "I have no plans for that for now."
Gao Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "Does Master Gao not hope for my departure? ...I must admit that as a Junior Minister, I'm quite incompetent, burdening you with my duties."
Gao Lingfeng solemnly said, "In my heart, you are the best Junior Minister!"
Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow, smiling without a word.
Gao Lingfeng said, "Without your protection, I wouldn't be so at ease, only needing to process documents and proceed according to protocol."
Rules are rules, reality is reality.
Rules must overlap reality.
