Celestial Sea Prefecture. The training grounds at the residence of the Jili Empire's commercial affairs council.
Guan Baoliang was a local of Celestial Sea Prefecture who lived on Mingyu Street. He came from a poor background, and after much difficulty, a relative had helped him find work as a servant at the council residence. Though he was only eighteen, he had already been working there for three full years.
Today, thanks to his sturdy build, he had been assigned a new task: go to the training grounds and await orders.
"Gang, I heard the training grounds are filled with the Jili Empire's top experts. Is that true?"
Guan Baoliang quietly asked a young servant he was close with as they walked to their posts with a group of others.
"Yes. You should have signed a non-disclosure agreement. Remember not to speak carelessly. Be smart, and do what I do. If you piss off the Ghost Elders, you'll be in deep trouble."
