Sima Manli and Qian the shopkeeper did not overstep their boundaries and stood still, watching the mysterious man with the Silver Waist Card respectfully retreat.
Sima Manli looked towards Qian the shopkeeper.
Qian the shopkeeper took a deep breath, "Promotion and elevation in rank... all these are what the elder deserves, and even granting him the title of a non-royal king wouldn't be too much, considering he is a Great Grandmaster."
As soon as Sima Manli saw the Silver Waist Card, she knew that the relationship between the Sima family and Pei Jinye would probably end here.
"Exactly!"
Qian the shopkeeper suddenly froze.
Sima Manli also turned to look and her expression quickly changed.
She was about to call out.
However, Sima Yingjun had already jogged into Pei Jinye's courtyard.
By this time, anything Sima Manli said would have been too late.
