"Gang Leader, the Commandery Princess is looking for you."
Chen Jie stood on the embankment, watching the flood inundating Xiantao Village, his eyes filled with reluctance and nostalgia.
But more so, there was determination. Chen Jie, whose aspirations encompassed the realm, and aimed at the highest honors, knew he could not sacrifice the greater for the lesser. Today, although his own home and ancestral tomb were submerged, what he gained in return was the people’s favor.
The favor of the people, that is the world’s most precious treasure.
As Chen Jie pondered this, he heard Chen Wang approach to report, and turning around, he saw the Commandery Princess watching him from not far away.
At that moment, Chen Jie turned and said to Wu Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, you take charge here for now, as for Zhou Chu!"
He looked towards Zhou Chu, who was still sitting amidst the muck, his eyes conveying a sense of desolation.
Seeing him like this, Chen Jie declared, "For now, Zhou Chu’s position as the Foreign Affairs Hall Master is revoked, and he is to be taken back to Mianshui for discipline according to the guild’s rules."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples quickly knelt and pleaded, "Gang Leader, Master Zhou has wholeheartedly served the Fishing Guild. He should not be punished."
"Yes, Gang Leader, although Master Zhou erred, he was the first to dive into the water and fight the flood with us. Even if he disobeyed orders, he should not be blamed. Please, Gang Leader, show mercy."
"Please, Gang Leader, show mercy."
