"Very good,"
Ye Hanjun acknowledged:
"Having a 'traitor' like you, we can save a lot of effort."
"It is an honor for Niu Tiechui to serve the master!"
Niu Tiechui knocked his head on the ground three times, swelling his forehead but still wearing a sycophantic smile:
"I beseech the master to give Niu Tiechui a chance! I am willing to go through fire and water, to be a daring ox under the master's command! I'll strike wherever you point, with absolute loyalty!"
"We'll see about your performance."
Ye Hanjun was in no hurry to agree, as it was just a scared, pitiful ox before him, without any true sincerity.
"Yes!"
However, Niu Tiechui, as if he had received the greatest commendation in the world, thumped his fist against his chest, with joy in his eyes and determination on his cheeks, a rarity among oxen.
Ye Hanjun glanced over, his expression neutral as usual.
