"What is this?"
Shen Yi inadvertently loosened his grip on the sheath, as he had probably guessed something already.
As expected, a hint of teasing crept into A'Qian's voice:
"The demon catchers' identification tablet."
"Demon catchers..." Shen Yi had heard of this title more than once and had even witnessed a few on Qingfeng Mountain with his own eyes.
"They track and hunt demons across a thousand miles. Independent of the Demon-suppression Bureau, they follow orders but not proclamations; that's what demon catchers are."
Jiang Chengyun slowly stepped into the room, expressionless, and casually tucked his bronze bell into his belt to conceal it.
So-called 'follow orders but not proclamations.'
When the Demon-suppression Bureau issues a command, they may act, but no one can interfere in their methods of handling tasks. They have the utmost autonomy, accountable only for results, not the process.
This uninterfered-with scope includes the General as well.
