This official, fair and clean in appearance with a few wisps of beard, entered the room with a smile and greeted with cupped hands, "My apologies for keeping Immortal Wei waiting, it is truly inexcusable. However, County Magistrate Sun is currently in seclusion, so it falls to me to receive Immortal Wei. I am Ren Youwei, the County Magistrate Deputy of Quyang County. May I ask, what instructions does Immortal Wei have for us?"
The position of the County Magistrate Deputy is high but without real power, akin to a reserve official—a seemingly harmless figure, yet he is also a Dao Foundation Cultivator.
Wei Yuan stood up and returned the gesture, then got straight to the point, "I'm here for the three hundred Civilian Brave from Shayang Village! They have fought in numerous battles for several months, yet haven't seen a single tael of military pay, not to mention any consolation money. My visit is to inquire where the military provisions and consolations are!"
