Wang Jingyuan turned around to see Nangong Yao standing a few paces away with her posse, chin up and looking down at Wang Jingyuan with arrogance and disgust. Wang Jingyuan rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"Jeez, the plague didn't take you? That's unfortunate. Imagine being so annoying that not even the plague wants you."
"Wang Jingyuan! Are you cursing me?" Nangong Yao's eyes flared in anger. "Don't think that just because you are the Epidemic Control Officer that you are now a member of the upperclass. A lowly peasant will always be a lowly peasant. Get out of my sight immediately, you're tainting the view."
Wang Jingyuan snorted. "Oh, so you are aware that I am the Epidemic Control Officer. I am an imperially decreed rank five government official, with a title bestowed by His Majesty himself. I suggest you pay a little respect, Nangong Yao, considering how you have no positions."
