The burly man with the great saber on his back and fierce expression—wasn't that Han Tong, the one who had once fought Lu Yi?
"I am Han Tong. Greetings, Tributor Chen!"
Han Tong laughed heartily and cupped his hands in a salute:
"Alchemist Chen, you're truly a man of great skill. All by yourself, you've disrupted months of my Han Family's planning and turned the tide for Jinyun Valley. I never would have had the pleasure of meeting you otherwise. And now that I have, I can see you are every bit the brilliant young prodigy they say you are!"
"As they say, a wise bird chooses its tree. I would like to invite you, Alchemist Chen, to become a Guest Minister for the Han Family!"
CLICK!
As he spoke, a series of clicks echoed out—the sound of crossbow triggers being set.
