Sikong Jian was enjoying a twelve-course early breakfast alone.
He only took a bite of each dish, savoring the freshest ingredients prepared with the most authentic culinary techniques.

With displeasure, he asked, "Who messed up again, making you use punishment so early in the morning?"
Sun Jiang was stunned, turned back to look at the... let's consider it a person, since he had two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, although all were a bit deformed.
"Master." Sun Jiang swallowed, stepped back, revealing the person beside him, and said with difficulty, "The servants in the mansion have been following the rules recently, and no one has made any mistakes."
Sikong Jian didn't look up, "Then why did you bring him here?"
