Shamo Li had stayed in the land of the easterners for several months before he finally understood what enjoyment truly meant. The sight of the dancers, adorned with veils and swaying gracefully, almost made Shamo Li's eyes pop out of his head. Some of the junior disciples of the Li Family took him to watch operas, go hunting, taste wine, stroll the streets, and gamble on fighting roosters and dogs. Every day was filled with delightful living.
"Damn it, those in the west are truly a bunch of fools!"
Only then did Shamo Li understand why those from Shanyue who returned from the east held such disdain for the westerners. The lifestyles of the two regions were starkly different; life in the east was easy and comfortable, but what gave Shamo Li a headache was the complex and sensitive political life of the easterners.
