As the commander-in-chief, Prince Duodun was very busy, but he still readily agreed to receive Shangguan Ru and hosted a grand banquet for this reception.
Prince Duodun was the type of person who could impress any visitor quickly, haughty but not annoying. He was always surrounded by seven or eight of his peers. They constantly laughed aloud and repelled outsiders, and only with the prince's permission did they made a narrow passage for the visitor.
Under the watchful eyes of Duodun's companions, any outsider would feel an immense pressure and become frightened. When they finally reached the front of the prince and heard the prince's warm and cheerful greetings, they would immediately feel relieved and think that they were receiving a special treatment.
