Zong Qian couldn't help but want to laugh, yet there was also a bitterness to it. In public, Wang Mian acted carefree, as if everything was going smoothly for him. But in private, at Situ Mansion, this was the state he was in.
Many things became clear just by observing the scene; he had always complained that he was only a lowly Ji, while Wang Mian had already become a Si Ge of Situ Mansion, a rank higher. Yet who knew that behind the glamour, there was a price to be paid.
This is the typical workplace bullying, as common in the Mortal World as it is in the Cultivation World.
Like myself in Sikong Mansion, entering as a Ji at the God Sensing Realm, I had a much better situation with a name and position that corresponded, and since Sikong Mansion was full of dark and ruthless people, adhering to the style of Sikong where if you didn't mess with others, you didn't get messed with, and thus no one bothered someone at the bottom like me.
