Luo Jiang sat in a row with several incense masters. He watched as the Hongmen disciples stood in lines on either side, with members of various branch gangs standing behind them, all wearing solemn expressions.
"We now have two Hongmen disciples, Lu Fengbo and Yang Dongqian, being promoted to the rank of Hongmen Iron Guard. I ask the two new Iron Guards to come forward and offer incense!"
Lu Fengbo took three and a half sticks of incense. First, he offered them to the statue of Zheng Chenggong, then bowed his head to the statue three times. He bent his right leg forward, took a step back with his left, extended his right thumb to perform the "Phoenix Three Nods" gesture, and finally crossed his hands over his chest as if wielding blades, bowing his head slightly to the statue three more times. With that, the promotion ceremony was complete.
