The Thousand-Year Stone Dew, ostensibly a congratulatory gift from Song Knife, was actually compensation for delaying his unification of the entire country by Three Years. Now he claims to be grateful for Song Knife's kindness in gifting the Thousand-Year Stone Dew. Song Knife is a reasonable person. If he truly insisted on acknowledging this, it would be shameless. If others were to publicize it in the Immortal Sect, his reputation would surely suffer in the future. He hasn't mentioned the gift explicitly, but could Song Knife really not send one?
