"Good, good, very good," Mr. Songshan understood the weight of the situation and did not refuse. He graciously said, "When a wild goose flies by, it leaves a sound; when a person passes by, a reputation is left. I have already boarded the Gu Family's ship. You're not afraid—how could I be?"
At least, he, Mr. Songshan, was originally a scholar.
But Young Master Nantang wasn't even a man.
Mr. Songshan felt rather nuanced inside, wondering how the scholars of the world would react if they knew the true identity of this Young Master Nantang.
He continued, "I've tolerated that Book Sea Pavilion for a long time. Clearly, it's running the business of scholars, but their actions are worse than those of common market folks. If we can introduce the eminent scholar Young Master Nantang to the world, not only would the Marquis feel triumphant… it would ensure a greater victory."
What does this 'greater victory' mean?
Only he, Mr. Songshan, knew.
