"You're always so good at persuading people." Jiang Wang watched the ripples spread across the pond and asked, "Is Commander of the Northern Office really that good a position?"
"What are you thinking?" Chongxuan Sheng flung out a hand, his tone exaggerated. "This is the most powerful position you can reach at your current stage, and the gateway to the true center of Qi's power. If you become Commander of the Northern Office today, then once you reach Divine Presence, you can go straight to the Nine Legions as a senior general. We'll get you into the Autumn Killing Army, and the next step will be the Military Affairs Hall! You might even take charge of one of the three departments. Then the next step will be the Administration Hall! And you're asking me whether Commander of the Northern Office is any good?"
"Think about it, Jiang Wang! This is one of the six strongest nations in All-Under-Heaven, the hegemon of the Eastern Domain. You can climb to the very top as fast as possible and share the highest power in The Present World with those peerless figures... And it all starts with becoming Commander of the Northern Office! And you're asking whether it matters, whether it's any good?"

Chongxuan Sheng glared at him. "Are you imitating a goose today? All you do is honk!"
Jiang Wang smiled. "Looks like it really is important."
Chongxuan Sheng wore an expression of utter exasperation. "Good. At least you know that!"
"Mm, got it." Jiang Wang waved a hand. "I'll head back and cultivate. Remember to look into Gongsun Yu's case for me."
"Think it through, and keep yourself in check!" Chongxuan Sheng shouted
