"Oh?" Shen Bai said, intrigued. "And what might you mean by that, Daoist? I am but a common Ding Shou in the Observatory."
Daoist Chongling said slowly, "Ever since Lord Shen's rise in Shengyun County, the Celestial Purity Daoist Temple has been aware of your origins. You were also the one who resolved all the crises during the various incidents in Fenglin State, protecting its people from great peril."
"Such deeds alone make you an exceedingly rare individual in all of Fenglin State. The Celestial Purity Daoist Temple has always taken it upon itself to protect the common folk, and we hold those who do the same in high esteem."
Shen Bai shook his head. "I'm no great protector of the people. I'm simply doing the job I was appointed to do."
Daoist Chongling clutched his Floating Dust. "Even so, to perform one's duties so thoroughly and flawlessly is worthy of my admiration, and that of the Celestial Purity Daoist Temple."
