A quarter of an hour later,
Mr. Ji stood atop the main hall of the Government Office, and after delivering a small cloth bag to Xu Yuan with Origin Qi, he whispered, "Third Young Master, there are five in total. If there's nothing else, I will go down and watch over those two Sect leaders."
Xu Yuan took it with one hand, glanced down, and smiled,
"Good, then I shall trouble Mr. Ji."
"It's all part of the job," Mr. Ji said expressionlessly, bowing slightly before turning and walking straight out of the hall.
Xu Yuan sat beside Li Qingyan, watching Mr. Ji leave, and chuckled while shaking his head,
"Mr. Ji is also a clever man, isn't he."
"A clever man?"
Li Qingyan lifted her gaze from the military documents, glanced at Xu Yuan, and asked, "You… what do you mean by that?"
Xu Yuan looked at Li Qingyan and said with a light smile,
"Lou Ji arranged for him to stay in Houting County to protect me thoroughly, and even ordered him to follow my commands."
