Actually, Shi Chun already knew this without him saying it, but he deliberately asked. Upon hearing, he replied, "I thought your sect didn't care about this small amount of money. If that's the case, doesn't Brother Dongguo feel this matter is quite unfair?"
Dongguo Shou stared in confusion, not knowing what he meant, somewhat worried that Shi Chun might be up to some trickery, as Shi Chun's reputation was known far and wide, one had to be cautious.
Shi Chun explained himself, "I've looked into the previous Battles of Great Pardon; once the territory is rewarded based on merit, things like burning bridges right after don't immediately happen. Heavenly Court suddenly doing this is unfair. If they do, they even make us pay for travel expenses; isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
Dongguo Shou nodded in agreement, "Brother Chun's words make sense. It's not that the matter has come to this point; we have no choice."
