Sun Jianming always felt that his old man was rather inflexible. The reputation of the Sun Family's Liang County double-headed spear was already renowned during his grandfather's generation.
His father inherited the legacy of the double-headed spear and joined the army, achieving the rank of an Eighth Rank Martial Cultivator. However, his official rank remained obscure, and he never truly managed to distinguish himself. He served as a Centurion for many years but never even managed to acquire a miscellaneous general's title.
During the reign of the previous emperor, the Southwestern chieftains rebelled. His father's division was subsequently transferred to the Southwest to suppress the uprising. Thanks to his exceptional skill, his father earned genuine military merit there. Without it, he probably would have spent his entire life as, at best, a City Patrol Captain.
Oh, and even though he reached old age, he was demoted back to City Patrol Captain in the end.
