"Although we are partners now, I think the proper etiquette should still be observed."
Hearing Li Changsheng say this, Empress Nüwa was truly delighted. She knew that by saying this, Li Changsheng had shown that he understood his proper place.
She truly found this very pleasing, because she had long wanted him to act this way.
The fact that he could do so now was indeed commendable. Faced with such a matter, no one else knew what to do, but Li Changsheng understood the situation clearly.
What she had said earlier had merely been meant to test Li Changsheng's views and intentions. Now that she knew what he was thinking, she felt this was truly something worth doing.
"Since I have already said so, then do as I say. There is no question of understanding or not understanding. Since we are all on the same side, there is no need to refuse such trivial matters. Just hearing you say that already satisfies me greatly."
Hearing Empress Nüwa say this, Li Changsheng knew that she was truly very satisfied with his earlier performance.
Since Empress Nüwa was satisfied with his conduct, there was no need for him to worry about anything else. Besides, he did not think the other matters were all that significant.
"Empress Nüwa, you may say that, but we absolutely cannot act that way. We must distinguish between what is important and what is not. This is an extremely important matter to us. We cannot disregard these things just because you are so tolerant. We still know our own status."
Li Changsheng knew he could not so easily believe Empress Nüwa's words. If she truly wished to act that way, he could do nothing about it. She could do as she pleased, but he absolutely could not. Hierarchy
