"I understand, this is a test of the sword!"
Xu Wencai held his feather fan and bowed with a fist, "I shall exert all my effort and not let His Majesty down!"
"Then, Mr. Xu, you should prepare well. Once the day arrives, we will set off immediately. Moreover, being a scholar, it's imperative to have guards during warfare. Even General Fang needs a Deputy General of the Profound Image Realm as an aide. These two guards—"
Mr. Hou pointed towards the door where the sword-bearing guards were standing, "have been selected from the Forbidden Army, both are Assistant Generals of the Meridian Passage Realm and will henceforth be Mr. Xu's personal protectors."
"This subordinate pays respects to Mr. Xu!"
The two guards stepped forward and gave a respectful salute.
"I still have some official matters to handle, so I won't stay much longer. The safety of Mr. Xu is in your hands."
After Mr. Hou gave his instructions, he left the estate.
