Yes, that's right, it's all about the political maneuvering!
Ever since the case of the theft from the Inner Palace, everything related to it has been filled with the stench of court intrigues.
Ye Weiming could even conclude that it wasn't just political intrigue within the court between the Divine Constables and the Duke of Deer, but also the political machinations between the Divine Constables and Huang Yaoshi.
Otherwise, why would his task award be passed on by Huang Yaoshi?
However, this introduces a new problem.
Does the fact that his task reward is handled by Huang Yaoshi imply that either Goujin or the Supreme Huang is hinting or testing him, inviting him to join this feast of political maneuvering?
While Ye Weiming was lost in thought, Huang Yaoshi had already broken the ropes binding Qu Lingfeng, while scolding, "Useless! You have lost face for Peach Blossom Island!"
