"When I met your teacher Qin Xiao, he was already a Ritual Guard Agent."
In the dark bedroom, Bai Yu lit a cigarette, and the flickering candlelight momentarily illuminated his rock-like, imposing face.
He looked at Le Yu, turned his back on him, and without any hesitation, faced away from Le Yu. He took a deep drag, exhaling a smoke ring that was still faintly visible in the darkness.
"At that time, I was just an apprentice, and my contact was dead, which means my father had just died, so I was assigned under Qin Xiao. I've seen you before, but you surely wouldn't remember me."
Within the Ritual Guard, there are three levels: apprentice, agent, and overseer. Apprentices are all in direct contact with agents, equivalent to their subordinates, like Shi Huai Feng is a subordinate of Qin Le Yin.
However, agents are not equal among themselves. An agent like Bai Yu who could contact the overseer naturally had a higher status than Qin Le Yin.
