As they were speaking, young lord Ji San had already emerged from the back with wide strides, saying, "Elder Yuan Chi, this matter is indeed a sorrow for our family. However, the family has its own rules. Those who merit rewards should be rewarded, and those who commit wrong should be punished. You have bravely fought the enemy to escort the Family Head back, which is a great achievement. If we do not reward you, the family rules would not agree."
"Yes, yes, Elder Yuan Chi, please do not decline."
"What the Junior Clan Leader says is very reasonable. The rules are such. If you decline, it would seem disrespectful to the family rules."
Everyone knew that young lord Ji San admired Elder Yuan Chi greatly. It wouldn't be surprising if Elder Yuan Chi became a favored person by young lord Ji San in the future. It was always good to curry favor.
With these free praises, which required no cost, everyone was eager to voice their support for Elder Yuan Chi.
