"Of course." The person in charge joked with a smile: "You've been to my place several times already and are still so polite. If you act like this next time, I won't hand over anything to you."
The envoy replied, "My lord, don't you wish to quickly send them all away, so you can be much more relaxed here?"
The person in charge laughed heartily and said, "Next time you come, I'll treat you to a good meal, let's settle it like that!"
"Thank you, my lord!" The envoy did not refuse.
After the envoy left with the slaves, the scribe said to the person in charge, "My lord, this person only joined the tribe last year as a Reserve Tribe Member and has not been an official subordinate of the Administration Department for long, running errands daily. Your rank is higher than his, and you are an elder of the tribe, there's no need to be so courteous to him."
The person in charge glanced at him and said merely, "He's a good one, you'll understand in time."
