Upon following the secretary into the quiet chamber, Yan Yu saw the head of the Yin Yang Bureau hurriedly writing with a vigorous and fluent stroke, inscribing two characters:
General Slayer.
After the secretary had left, Yan Yu asked, "What did you want to see me for, Lord Master?"
"Yan Yu, you're over forty this year, aren't you?" the Lord Master put away his brush and placed it on the inkstone stand beside him.
"Just had my birthday last month," Yan Yu replied.
"Hmm," the Lord Master grabbed a towel beside him and wiped his hands, "I've always believed that the chief position at the Yin Yang Bureau should be held by an experienced veteran. However, many argue that in these chaotic times, being proactive is better than defensively maintaining the status quo."
"The incident with Xiandao Jingyin was a lesson for everyone."
Yan Yu remained silent, standing respectfully with his hands tied.
