The news of Commander Liu's leave for two days soon spread amongst the guards.
While it was unusual for Commander Liu to take a leave of absence, what was even more surprising was that Jiang Li was acting as the overseer of the Imperial Palace in his absence.
"So, the duty of the Human Emperor also includes overseeing the Imperial Palace." One of the seasoned guards suddenly recalled that the Human Emperor often acted as the overseer of the palace.
Jiang Li strolled around the center of the palace with his hands behind his back, reminiscent of a retired official. He checked how much faith had gathered in the bronze cauldron, felt the chair at the center of the hall, and then settled down.
"What should I be doing when overseeing the Imperial Palace?" Jiang Li realized this was his first time taking on this role.
He felt oddly guilty, as if he was letting down Commander Liu.
