General Lin laughed heartily and sat in front of the Water General: "Water General, you do seem quite embarrassed."
"General, please don't mock me. If I weren't too honest, how could I suffer such bullying?"
The Water General smiled faintly and then poured a cup of hot wine for General Lin.
"Water General, don't say such things. We, as the Eight Great Generals, are naturally equals. The City Lord's judgment, while seemingly unjust, must have its own reasons."
The Water General knew that General Lin's words were just pleasant formalities.
It was obvious to everyone that General Shan was favored by the Lord of Tianfeng City.
To the Lord of Tianfeng City, the Water General was ultimately just an outsider.
After finishing pouring the hot wine, the Water General drank it down in one go.
General Lin then asked: "It seems the Water General is indeed in a foul mood today. Could it be that you bear a grudge over this matter?"
