"How did this happen?"
The Chief did not understand him. How could the mountains be owned by other people?
"Then Jiuyue… No, why did Old Tu build a house on the mountain? No one stopped him. Did you ask?" he asked.
The mountains near the An Clan Village were all part of the Lianjing Mountain Range. Did they all belong to one person?
If so, how did An Jiuyue manage to live on the mountain? Someone must have known about it when An Tu built the treehouse. Did no one object to it?
"I—" The Junior Officer opened his mouth.
He did not want to mention this to the county official because he did not want to cause trouble for An Jiuyue, but he could not help it.
However, he was confused by the response he received.
"I did mention it, but they said it concerns the higher-ups, so it's not something low-ranking officials like them can interfere with. They told me not to get myself in trouble and to leave just like that."
