It's been a while since anyone's addressed him in such a way, but the sad fact is that he's used to it (even if it makes him bristle deep down inside). He always presumed that waking a man was the domain of his mothers, his spouses, or his servants. And this man has far too much self-importance to be a servant. But if he's some guest of the lord of the Manor, Ouyang has no place to treat him rudely.

So he bows.

"I am Ouyang, General of the Prince of Henan's armies." Though it means nothing here, falling back into old habits caused it to roll off his tongue as naturally as he breathed. It was a moment before he straightened, which would give Ye Baiyi a clear view of the elaborate braiding throughout the General's hair.
