Dou He had been tense ever since his trip to Daxing to see Mo Heng before he came to Liaodong. When he heard that Mo Heng had returned to active duty, led troops to suppress bandits, and was appointed as the General Protectorate, he was elated for several days, and even started to view the people of the Rong Clan more favorably.

Pei Qin greeted him with a smile, "Dou He! You've gotten a lot darker!"

He turned to Pei Qin with a smile, "Is being darker a problem? You've gotten a bit paler, I've gotten a bit darker—we'll be the same shade soon!"
