100 Common Xianzhou Proverbs for Outworlders

Scenario Claude is an Outworlder seeking employment at the Xianzhou, and was hired recently by Glenn as a foreign trade warehouse manager. He started his job of registering stock at the Trove of Verdure warehouses in Cloudford after passing his interview. However, as he frequently turned up late for work and was distracted during work hours, Glenn prepared to have a serious talk with him... Dialogue Glenn: "Why are you never at your post when I'm checking up on you?" Claude: "The one who seeks can never find what they're seeking, and the one being sought can never encounter the one seeking." Glenn: "If you keep leaving your post, then I'll have to fire you." Claude: "Hahaha, yeah sure." Glenn: "Deal. Your wish is my command." Idiom Your wish is my command Meaning: Rather than showing respect using words, it is best to just obey the other person. Usage: Its original meaning is to accept the goodwill of others instead of politely trying to decline for superficial humility. This is a polite phrase often used after someone gifts you something or shows you favor. The above scenario shows an extension of that use, indicating "we don't need to be polite to each other anymore." This idiom was originally a phrase of humility that can only be applied to oneself in the Xianzhou culture. In contrast, there are phrases of respect that can only be used on other people. When living at Xianzhou, one needs to be able to identify the differences between phrases of humility and respect, and avoid situations where the two types of terms are mixed up and misused. Inappropriate Use "There are 3000 documents here. Please send them to me today after registering them all, and make it so my wish is your command."
