The relationship has always been tight!
Moreover...
Although Yun Jiuqing couldn't command the Chief Flag Officer with this token, he could clear the doubts in the Chief Flag Officer's mind.
Choose to trust Fan Wu.
To trust Yun Jiuqing.
"So the two of you are not ordinary cultivators," said the Chief Flag Officer, who was capable of adapting to circumstances. His demeanor, previously somewhat rigid, now softened considerably, "This lowly one is blind for not recognizing your worth. Please forgive me! Since both of you are highly trusted by the Prefecture, we shall proceed as Daoist Priest Fan suggests."
Even though he still felt Fan Wu's method was a bit too risky and a single misstep could easily harm the innocent,
But... these two held the Prefecture Lord's Token, so any mishap couldn't be blamed on him, the Chief Flag Officer.
So where to find such a civilian who isn't afraid of death?
That's easy!
