Hearing these words, Li Mingqi's figure stiffened, and he stopped in his tracks, turning his head calmly to look at Chen Yuan:
"Why would you say that?"
"Would I, an official, break the promises I've made to you?"
Chen Yuan smiled:
"That's not what I mean, I am just a bit... worried, that's all."
Li Mingqi then laughed:
"Rest easy, with me here, nobody can take away your arrest officer status—you often will become famous throughout Ping'an County."
Chen Yuan nodded:
"It will be due to your lordship's fame spreading far and wide."
"Hahaha... Chen Yuan, I always thought you had talent, but I didn't expect you to be so good with words. With my support, being an arrest officer is just the beginning for you.
It's a pity I don't have any daughters to marry off, or else I would certainly take you as my son-in-law."
Li Mingqi laughed heartily, as if he held Chen Yuan in high regard.
